The Frog Prince

My brother and I had this movie since we were kids and we still watch it from time to time (we're now 25 and 27 years old). Yeah, I know, it's pathetic that adults watch this... but hey, it's the Muppets!

If you love the Muppet movies, this is a must own to give to your children so that you can enjoy it right along with them! Your adult friends will make fun of you, but it's worth it!

The Muppet version of the Frog Prince is infinitely better than the Robin Williams version, with wonderful songs, great sets and costumes, and a strong story.

I first came to know this broadcast from the long-playing record that was marketed. The bi-fold record jacket told the story using a story-board sequence of stills from the original broadcast, and where necessary, Kermit narrated. My sister and I played this album over and over and over.... We both memorized it, and today many of the phrases are "you had to be there" jokes between us. The album wore out and was lost in the shuffle of growing up and going to school.... I finally tracked down a good-condition used VHS release of the broadcast, which I play only rarely because I'm afraid of damaging the tape.

I really do hope this is re-released on DVD. The story and the songs and the muppets are incredibly memorable. I wouldn't mind seeing a recasting to update it - if everything were staged the exact same way.

Children will be mesmerized by the singing and dancing frogs, and ultimately be convinced that "The life of a frog is the life you should choose". When I was little, I spent quite a while trying to figure out exactly what "Bake the hall in the candle of her brain" meant. This video is truly a classic, and I hope it is re-released soon.

My mother recorded this film on television when I was very young, I have watched it for years. I know every song and even the jokes the king tries to tell. I even bought the record to listen to the songs. I would love it if this film was put on DVD and if they made a soundtrack for it.
