One Froggy Evening/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Beam Me Up, Scotty: People often refer to this cartoon as "A froggy evening".
  • Technology Marches On: A younger viewer might wonder why the man doesn't just rent a camera and film the frog. 1950s movie cameras were expensive, needed a lot of supplemental lighting, and only gave good results in the hands of a skilled operator. And sound had to be recorded separately. Even if this was made later when cameras were more common and less expensive, it's possible the frog would not perform in front of filming devices anyway, knowing he's only out to profit.
