Overview
- Netflix released the official trailer on Thursday and confirmed that I Am Frankelda will stream worldwide on June 12, 2026.
- The film was written, directed and produced by brothers Arturo and Roy Ambriz and acts as a prequel to their TV series Frankelda’s Book of Spooks.
- I Am Frankelda played the 2025 festival circuit and opened theatrically in Mexico before Netflix secured global streaming rights earlier in 2026.
- The voice cast includes Mireya Mendoza, Arturo Mercado Jr. and Luis Leonardo Suárez, and the production credits list animation director Beto Petiches, production designers Ana Coronilla and Bruce Zick, and composer Kevin Smithers.
- Netflix will release the movie in the original Spanish with subtitles plus an English dub and will screen it in select theaters, a move that could raise the international profile of handcrafted stop‑motion and Latin American animation talent.
