Netflix’s I Am Frankelda wouldn’t exist without Guillermo Del Toro

“Frankelda” has been a household name in Mexico ever since the dark stop-motion fantasy launched on HBO Latam in 2001. Roy and Arturo Ambriz, the brothers behind the hit series, regularly receive fan-made toys, pinatas, and fan-fiction in the mail. But now, with their debut feature film, which arrives on Netflix in June, they’re hoping to bring Frankelda to the rest of the world — with some help from none other than Guillermo Del Toro.
