I Am Frankelda is Mexico's first stop motion film. The film is produced by Guillermo del Toro so you know this is going to be gothic and creepy and everything that del Toro admires.
Francisca Imelda (Mireya Mendoza) is a 19th century writer in Mexico who writes fantastical, gothic tales to cope with her less than happy life. Unknowingly, what she writes ends up affecting the world of nightmares and the life of the prince Herneval (Arturo Mercado Jr.).
The sets and puppets are gruesomely detailed. It is a fun story though it does have an abrupt ending.
