The Frenkel brothers were three Egyptian Jewish brothers – Herschel Frenkel (1902–1972), Salomon "Shlomo" Frenkel (1912–2001), and David Frenkel (1914–1994) – who pioneered animated film in Egypt. Their first successful film, Mafish Fayda (1936), made its protagonist Mish-Mish Effendi the first Arab cartoon star.
