Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is a cartoon from 60 years ago that deals with a guy finding a frog. The frog is really talented at singing, but sadly every time his owner wants to put him on display, the frog refuses to show everybody his great voice and instead he makes usual frog noise. No Mel Blanc in here, but Oscar winner Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese came up with it as always. I have to say I am very much surprised that this is one of Chuck Jones' famous cartoons today as I have seen many many which are far superior. As I wrote in the description, this is basically the same joke for 7 minutes and even at this low runtime, it gets repetitive at some point. And what's even worse, they realized it and included a totally random future reference with the very same joke. Not a great short film at all and it annoys me to see that there even is a sequel out there, even if it's not famous at all. I have no idea, but I would not be surprise if it relies on the same repetitive story. In any case, I do not recommend "One Froggy Evening".

... Do not get me wrong, this is an absolutely brilliant Looney Tunes cartoon! It's sweet and can make anyone cheerful. Michigan J Frog is a very sweet little character (and I personally think he should have appeared in more cartoons) and his singing actor is very good. However, the remake, "Another Froggy Evening", is a cartoon I prefer. I personally think it is more my sort of cartoon, as it has dozens of sweet surprises, which this cartoon does not have. If "Another Froggy Evening" did not exist, it would be my second favourite Looney Tunes cartoon. As it is, it is my third favourite, which is certainly saying something huge. I have watched about a hundred Looney Tunes cartoons in my time, so saying this is my third favourite of them all is saying something. The plot and theme of this episode is one of the reasons I love it so much. In "One Froggy Evening", an old building is about to be taken down to build a modern skyscraper, when one of the builders finds a huge stone box. Inside is a smaller green box, where Michigan J Frog lives! The reason why this frog is so special is because he can sing! The builder can see a great amount of dollars in front of him because of the frog and sets off to earn his fortune. Will the frog prove great success for him..?Here are the things I like about this cartoon which are not in/changed in the remake:1. I prefer Michigan's animation in this version to the other version. 2. I thought the man with Michigan in this cartoon was better than all of the men in "Another Froggy Evening". 3. There was very little slapstick in this cartoon, as in the remake there is quite a lot. Here are the things which I like about the remake which are not in/different in the original:1. I love the surprises in the remake. 2. I love the historical settings, which create excitement for me. 3. Unlike in this cartoon, there is a cameo appearance in the remake (which I include as one of the surprises), which is delightful.I recommend this lovely cartoon to anyone who likes a different, cheery, not so slapsticky Looney Tunes. Enjoy "One Froggy Evening"! :-)

This is the single greatest animated short ever made. The uncut version is perfect. The songs are great, the art direction is terrific, and above all the story is priceless.Spoiler: A construction worker demolishing a building finds a frog in a box in the cornerstone. The frog sings and dances. The man tries to cash in on the miraculous frog, but it will only sing for him. After wasting his life's savings and even spending time in an insane asylum, he hides the frog in the corner stone of a new building...I don't know why anyone would possibly another film with the frog character. It would be a travesty to use him in another flick. Besides, he's still in the box, waiting for the next poor schmuck to find him.

Everyone knows what happens in the excellent animated masterpiece. A guy finds a dancing, singing frog whom will only dance or sing for him and it drives him crazy. This is the best Chuck Jones short ever (no easy feat), and will be with else to entertain countless generations of the young and young at heart. Many attempts to duplicate this has but done throughout the intervening years, but accept no substitutes. This is fantastic stuff. This animated short can be seen on Disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2. It features a commentary by Micheal Barrier, as well as an optional music only track.My Grade:A+
