Ana and Bruno (Ana y Bruno in Spanish) is a Mexican Horror Comedy animated film directed by Carlos Carrera and released on June 12, 2017. This film is unique amongst most others in that despite technically being child-friendly, it's willing to tackle subjects most films of its type would be wary of going near, like mental illness and ableism.A young girl named Ana and her mother Carmen are committed to a psychiatric ward because they are both relentlessly tormented by a horrifying, flaming Eldritch Abomination that only they can see, which keeps trying to attack both of them. However, while exploring the ward, she ends up meeting Bruno, a kind-mannered goblin who turns out to be the hallucination of a paranoid schizophrenic, and soon finds the friendlier but no less strange and diverse hallucinations of the other patients, all given physical form. Soon, they all have to leave the ward and band together to find Ana's father so that he can prevent his wife from undergoing electroshock therapy under the hands of the ward's barbaric staff, all while slowly uncovering the dark truth about Ana's predicament.

By the Eyes of the Blind: Hallucinations can only be perceived by animals, children, or the intoxicated. They can be loosely seen by the mentally ill, even ones that aren't a part of their illness.

Dead All Along: Ana, half way through the film, turns out to be this (more specifically, a hallucination her mother is seeing of her dead daughter who died in a house fire).

Death of Personality: What's the cure for lunacy and crazyness in this assylum? Why, Electroshocking the patient's brains of course. The one unlucky at the beginnig and Dr. Mendez himself would tell you more if they weren't brain dead after making a dose.

Psycho Psychologist
 Ana and Bruno / int_6269a4b3
comment
Psycho Psychologist: The psychologist that runs the asylum (named Dr. Mendez) seems to take too much satisfaction in his "treatment" of electroshocking the insane into catatonia, especially when he forces Ana's father into a chair because he refuses to put his wife through it. Turns out all his orderlies were his hallucinations.

Bedlam House
 Ana and Bruno / int_c6c5ce4
comment
Bedlam House: The asylum Ana's mother is committed to has a gothic, depressive atmosphere and comes highly recommended for its effective treatments. The treatments we do see however involve tranquilizing worked up patients and electroshocking the more unruly ones into catatonia as a "cure".
