Review of One Froggy Evening (1955) by Andy P — 16 May 2015

This classic Merrie Melodies short can be seen for what it is on the surface: a very amusing animation about a talented top hat sporting frog who sings rag-time era hits and dances with a cane or, more interestingly, we could look at the supernatural singing amphibian as a sort of lesson on greed.

The two human characters try to exploit the creature's talent for profits which leads only to misfortune and frustration. Asides from the moral profundities, One Froggy Evening boasts a memorable, toe tapping soundtrack and indelible animation.
