Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review for the new animated film release “Hola Frida,” created by André Kadi and Karine Vézina, about the early 20th Century childhood life of influential artist Frida Kahlo. In select theaters on August 8th, see local listings.
This is based on a popular book and looks through the prism of Kahlo’s challenges as a child. Her family is shown to be stable and loving, with a mother who desires that her two daughters will have all opportunities, despite the early 20th Century attitude of women as second class. Frida is a precocious child until polio forces her to a bedridden state, which is symbolically rendered as her survival instinct, embodied by another healthier “imaginary friend” Frida who advises her polio-ridden self to use the soul of creativity to heal her life. The child as artist creates the artist in waiting.

Up to now, only Sam has seen the spirits in the house in Ghosts. However, during the 2024 Christmas special, Jay was temporarily able to see and speak to each of them. The show should have made this permanent.
Jay ended up possessed by Pete during Ghosts season 4, episode 8. People have been possessed before, and driving over the boundary has been the way to kick the ghost out of the body of the living. That wasn’t possible with Pete, though, whose ghost power is crossing the boundary.
It led to Sam performing an exorcism. While it worked, it didn’t quite work perfectly. Instead of Pete being expelled, Jay was expelled from his own body, making him a spirit temporarily.
Technically, Jay’s spirit crossed over to the afterlife in Ghosts
We know that Sam can see the ghosts because of her near-death experience. Well, technically, Jay died. His spirit...
