(SeaPRwire) – By: Oliver Hawthorne
‘I Am Frankelda’ is a stop-motion marvel. Every frame bursts with detail. At first, eyes flit. Then, drawn into the story. It builds a fantastical Gothic world. Arturo and Roy Ambriz created this. Their studio Cinema Fantasma started in 2011. ‘I Am Frankelda’ is a prequel to their 2021 TV series. Warner Bros funded part. They mortgaged homes for the rest.
Passion oozes from every craft. Characters, costumes, sets are thoughtfully made. Mixed media shines: a lizard melts into paint. Story celebrates creativity. Francisca, an aspiring writer, finds power in a fictional realm. Clashes with a villain. Latin American horror culture glows here. Del Toro supports them. It’s Mexico’s first feature-length stop-motion film. Streaming on Netflix? Art wins this round.
