Original Movie
Original Plot
There is a cheeky Frida hiding inside all of us. Hideouts, secrets, kissing techniques, and dreams of becoming heroes by exposing evil bandits. Parents are just a nuisance, and when you finally want to take care of serving the guests, somehow it all goes wrong. It's a shame, because you just wanted to do it so well. Lykke Nielsen translated the best of the best from her books into this film. The children were happy to play along and at one point said that they would like to play in more films. That wasn't to be, but the film remains a sweet and funny everyday story that reflects the children's innermost dreams: to be allowed to be themselves without too much interference from outside. Throughout the film, the children go through a lot before they turn the villains over to the authorities, but that's how a children's film should be.

Fierce Frida and the Fearless Agents
In a modern reimagining of "Frække Frida og de frygtløse spioner," we follow 13-year-old Frida (Marsai Martin, known for "Black-ish"). Frida is a tech-savvy, adventurous teenager living in an eco-friendly community, navigating the trials of middle school with her best friends, who now form a diverse cast of characters, promoting representation on screen. Among them are Alex (Jahi Di'Allo Winston, known for "The New Edition Story"), a transgender boy with a knack for coding, and Sam (Peyton Elizabeth Lee, known for "Andi Mack"), Frida's environmentally conscious sidekick.
When Frida accidentally intercepts a mysterious email containing blueprints for an advanced AI system, she and her friends become embroiled in a thrilling spy mission. As they unravel the secrets behind the AI, they discover it is being developed by an evil corporation intent on exploiting the environment for profit.
Frida and her friends use their tech skills, intelligence, and courage to outmaneuver the corporate spies and sabotage their plans. Along the way, they encounter a charming but bumbling spy named Max (played by a cameo appearance from an original cast member), who assists them in their mission.
Incorporating themes of environmental activism, LGBTQ+ rights, and mental health, the movie raises awareness about important social issues while still delivering action-packed, comedic scenes. The adventurous journey unfolds in contemporary settings, with references to popular culture and lighthearted humor that today's audience can appreciate.
Making her big-screen debut is Sofia Wylie (known for "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series") playing Frida's plucky younger sister, Tessa, who proves to be a valuable ally throughout the story. In a surprise turn, Chris Hemsworth (known for "Thor") portrays the head of the evil corporation, adding a touch of Hollywood glamour to the film's cast.
With fresh perspectives, complex character dynamics, and an updated setting, this modern twist on "Frække Frida og de frygtløse spioner" is ready to charm and inspire a new generation of fans.
