I Am Frankelda

About This Movie

I Am Frankelda is an intriguing blend of animation and rich storytelling. The 2025 film from Arturo Ambriz dives deeply into the creative process of a 19th-century writer. Frankelda's journey into her own haunted kingdom is visually captivating, with a unique art style that reflects her inner turmoil. The character design of the Spooks is particularly noteworthy - they’re not just scary but carry personality and depth, echoing the whimsical yet dark tone of her tales. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that kind of mirrors Frankelda's struggles. Herneval, the Prince of Spooks, is a solid guide, providing much-needed levity without overshadowing her character arc. It's a fresh take on the horror genre, wrapped in family-friendly themes about creativity and self-discovery.
