Who voices ernesto de la cruz skin#
This appearance retains Dante's body shape, although his skin became radically multicolored, his tongue turned blue, and his left and right eyes turned pink and yellow respectively.ĭante first appears when Miguel greets him as the dog rummages through trash cans. He is often seen with his tongue sticking out, due to his missing teeth.ĭante later becomes an alebrije guardian and gains wings smaller than Pepita's. He appears to be under-conditioned with a tear on his left ear, given the fact that he is a stray. Like most dogs of the Xoloitzcuintle breed, Dante is a skinny, almost hairless dog with wrinkled brown skin and long legs. He became extremely defensive for Miguel's well-being, as he tries to stop him from finding Ernesto de la Cruz knowing that this was not best for Miguel. Dante can also sense spirits and was, therefore, the only living creature to live in the Land of the Dead.ĭante's loyalty is demonstrated to be his most endearing quality. Dante was eager to help Miguel find who he was looking for, although being a dog, his actions came across as the dog being overly excited and random.

However, these attempts were motivated by benevolent intentions. Throughout the film, he covertly guided Miguel to Héctor whenever the dog ran off and brought them together. Although Dante is superficially goofy and simple-minded, it is shown that he is smarter than he looks. Dante has a weakness toward food, as it led Miguel to embarrassing situations in the film.
