Frogs & Toads, Good or Evil?

Frogs. What interesting creatures they are. I myself, am too scared to touch them. We have seen them in animated movies and they are best show to us as villains. Let me tell you why.

There is a man in our military department who looks like a toad, a mean toad. I sometimes see the similarities between people and the animals. Some people are like tigers and other are like lizards. Try to imagine it yourself, look around you.

One Hundred and One Dalmatians, 1961

This man walked like a toad walking with two legs and he was hot tempered and liked to bully and pick on weak ones. Smiling at day and going crazy at night. A frog would be a great villain in an animated movie.

What kind of roles did frogs and toads play in animation? A mad toad in Flushed Away, a cool gentleman-like frog in Meet the Robinsons, private-eye in Hoodwinked, a lousy frog prince in love from The Princess and the Frog, and an another mad toad in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

Flushed Away, 2006

The Toad in Flushed Away was most intriguing. he was a villain that made me hate-love him.

In the future, I would love to see frogs or toads to be shown as awesome mad villains. They would be real scary villains of all time.

What do you think. Are frogs better as good or evil?

Kid-centric Flaw

What makes us separate animated movies as classics and un-classics? Those movies that we prefer to call as classics have something in common; they make us watch it over and over again and it's still fun. Un-classics, on the other hand have this 'kid-centric flaw'. This flaw is made by filmmakers who make movies just to please kids and hope the jokes work.

Let's have a look at two DreamWorks films; Shrek and Mr. Peabody & Sherman. Without doubt you are more familiar with the name like 'Shrek' than 'Peabody'. The ya re both creative and well made films, however, one is famous beyond compare while the other has never been people's favorite choice for a movie-night.

Let me tell you why. Mr. Peabody & Sherman  tries to please kids with overacted facial expression and 'puns' that had never really worked to the grown-ups. On the contrary, Shrek showed great care and attention to both to the kids and the grown-ups. If Peabody's expressions was exaggerated, Shrek's was real-like expressions based on how the character feels.

In conclusion, I personally, want to see movies that last for ages. Not just movies for kids but one that could be still be enjoyed to the general audiences. Some movies tend to seem mad in a rush of time. It's pleasing if a kid enjoys the film but if the movie has this 'kid-centricness' into it it can no longer be taken seriously.
