Not the best movie, but I've seen worse
Added 9/11/2006
I remember seeing this movie when I was very young, and while it's not the best animated film I've ever seen, it's certainly not the worst. The animation is satisfactory, and Freddie IS rather handsome and charming for a frog. Everyone has their own opinion about this film, of course, but maybe you negative critics out there are being just a wee bit too harsh. There are movies out there that are far worse than this one, you know.

THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN, BAR NONE!
Added 9/27/2004
After viewing this bloated piece of sappiness with my cousins, I decided to buy it. What a delight! I strongly recommend you buy this if you love to make fun of stupid movies. It is the worst one I have ever seen and I find more new things to make fun of every time I watch it. The laughs keep on coming!!! Seriously though, if you are looking for an good movie for kids, don't be fooled by the tame "G" rating. Freddie the Frog is a perverse bisexual who is attracted to frogs, humans, and Loch Ness monsters of the female gender. That's bad enough in itself but when Freddie goes so far as to French kiss another MALE! is where I would draw the line if I ever have kids.
Everything is of low grade in this movie. The songs, acting, storyline (see the first review which I totally agree with), everything! Why oh why did people ever make this.
"I hear you have a slight- what do you call it- problem," says the intelligence impaired Freddie. With a hero like this on board, we certainly are.

How bad can animation get? - This bad.
Added 10/24/2002
It looks as if they patched together two different movies. The beginning is misleading. It makes the story seem as if it's a Medieval story but after twenty minutes it switches to a modern day story. Halfway through the movie they decide it's going to be a musical. To make it worse they introduce one main villan at the beginning and switch to another later.
This was one movie in bad need of a rewrite. The committee who wrote the first script probably never even met.
The only thing good about this film, aside from a few interesting scenes -- most likely manufactured for promotional reasons -- is the self-promotional warning they give at the start of the film. Any movie that feels the need to promote itself in the title credits can't be good.

Chase's Favorite
Added 8/11/2001
Our daughter Chase is three years old. We have rented this video from the video store so many times that we could have owned about 3 copies. We finally decided to buy one when she walked in the store the other day and knew exactly where it was located. She has assured us it is a 5 star movie.
