The Legend of La Llorona

Along with the previous one, this one was also part of my childhood and I still watch it a lot, because its always passing on TV and I still cant be objective critizing it. There are a lot of improvements from the previous one, mainly the animation, it is really impressive how much it improved, now it does look made by a professional studio, everything is smoothier, characters have more movement, their designs are more consistent and overall the animation is improved in every single way. The jokes are also a big improvement, now they are much more fleshed out, they have better timing and on a first watch most of them caught you off guard and make you laugh. The story is also more fleshed out. Now, you dont feel like youre just going from room to room meeting new characters, the goal is much more clear, the villain is more threatening, now all characters have something to do, everything is better in all aspects. Still, its not perfect but it is a very special movie for me so I like it a lot and I overlook some problems it has, but overall, a good movie, with good characters and a good story that could be improved to be even better.

I teach high school Spanish, so I am sure to be biased. But this movie Rocks! As a Spanish teacher, there is no better resource to use in my classes than the movies from this series, which also includes La Leyenda de la Nahuala.

The improvements in animation, story, and humor in between this movie and the Nahuala are great! They really nailed the story of the Llorona. I laughed out loud, was decently scared, and started to tear up. And this is all when I watched it alone. My Spanish classes love it! It showcases Mexican culture, including indigenous and Spanish influences, and integrates it seamlessly into the storyline. It's funny, scary, and heartfelt. Perfect for celebrating Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).
