Dark Is Not Evil: The skeletons look rather spooky, especially since they have no eyes and just empty sockets, but they are jovial and friendly. |

Grievous Harm with a Body: At one point the female skeleton blindfolds herself and then uses her own severed arm to (attempt to) bludgeon a piñata, which makes the girl smile and giggle. |

Minimalist Cast: Typical of a student-animated film, the list of characters is fairly small, consisting of the girl, the female skeleton, and several background skeletons. |
