The criminally underexposed HBOMax/Cartoon Network Latin America exclusive, Frankelda’s Book of Spooks, is getting a prequel movie with Cinema Fantasma bringing it to Annecy.
We can finally make it official! It's with great excitement that we tell you that the sequel to #Frankelda is... a movie! Get ready to learn the story of "Frankelda and the Prince of Spooks," which we've been working on for a year and a half. Also, we are honored to be selected in WIP on Festival international du film d'animation d'Annecy where we will be giving a presentation to show, exclusively and for the first time, some behind-the-scenes footage. It's an honor to represent Mexico at the most important animation festival in the world. Thank you so much to all of you for supporting Frankelda, Herneval and all the scares!. HBO Max
Still no word on a proper release of the original show outside Latin American territories, but this should hopefully get more eyes on it.
I don't usually make animations, but when I do, I remember why I don't usually make them. It's too hard x'D
HUGE RESPECT to all the animators out there.
Anyway, this are WIPs for the Frankelda's Reanimated project. I'm participating along with other amazing artists and it should be released at the end of the year, so wait for it!
And don't forget to watch Frankelda if you can!!! 👻🖋📖
A tribute to Frankelda, which is hands-down one of the best animated series I've seen in a long time.
I love how this show used stop motion to such great effect. The villains have wonderfully detailed designs that are bursting with character, in a way that you simply couldn't achieve with 2D or CG.
I enjoyed doing my take on the delightfully grotesque Siren here!
This show really deserved to get big, and it's still criminally underrated. (Its shoddy English dub didn't do it any favors, but neither did the lack of promotion.)
So if you haven't, go and check out "Sustos Ocultos de Frankelda" a.k.a. "Frankelda's Book of Spooks". If you like cartoons, and especially if you like stop motion, you owe it to yourself!
The animation is a real treat to behold, so my hat is off to the creators of this outstanding series.
I like how in a time of uncertainty for streaming shows getting a pickup, the Frankelda finale decided to not only gamble and be both a cliffhanger and a backdoor pilot for a movie, but basically admit this in the first few seconds. And it actually paid off.
And all I have to do is think of you to make the music start to play
Then I dance down the street and the people I meet stop and say:
"Hey, hey, magic ways, my friend...
You love the girl with magic ways..."
