''Dayo: Sa Mundo ng Elementalia'' Tagalog for, roughly, "Stranger in the Land/World of Elementalia", and often shortened just to ''Dayo'') is a 2008 [[UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} Filipino]] animated film.

It features Buboy, a precocious, school-aged kid, who acting on a dare by a gang of school bullies, suddenly finds himself in the titular land of Elementalia—a beautiful fantasy land populated by all the creatures known to Philippine mythology and folklore, including ''kapres'', ''tikbalangs'', ''aswangs'', and those classic, self-segmenting winged creatures, ''manananggals''—including young Anna, who quickly becomes his best friend.

* FourFingeredHands: You’d expect a movie inspired in part by Western children’s animation styles to have this on all its characters, but the animators made the conscious decision to give ''only'' supernatural creatures four fingers. Humans like Buboy, his family, neighbours, etc., all have the good old five fingers per hand. The difference is quite obvious in any scenes with 5-fingered Buboy and 4-fingered Anna together, which is for most of the film.

* VegetarianVampire: ''Manananggals'' generally eat human livers or foetuses or drink their blood, but precocious young Anna calls herself a vegetarian. Buboy's understandably suspicious, but Anna reasons that she'd have already eaten him if she were so inclined.
