Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron will premiere in Colombia on January 25. Ahead of that debut, the film is getting an unplanned and likely unappreciated marketing push, as a local woman has gone viral for convincing major media outlets that she drew around 25,000 frames for the film’s production.

"Over 20 months, I had to deliver 25 thousand frames, and those 25 thousand frames corresponded to a 10-second scene, so to speak"

Animation runs at 24 frames per second, so 10 seconds of animation would be 240 frames.

She's off by a factor of 104. LOL. A liar AND bad at math.

25,000 frames would be 1,041 seconds or 17.36 minutes of the film.

It was for the IMAX 240fps version, obviously. Go big or go home.

20 months will be about 600 days so about 41 frames a day or about 1.7 frames every single hour lol. Its such an insane lie

May there be separately animated creatures or objects later put into the composition of a shot?

As far as I know no, in traditional animation every frame is done in one go, except when there's CGI involved (and even in that case there's just one person "drawing").
