	The Songs of One Froggy Evening

		The main character was a nameless singing frog.
		There are many interesting stories to tell about the people and music which help make One Froggy Evening such a great film.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Michigan J. Frog
		The Frog was not a star when Warner Bros.' One Froggy Evening (which was written by Michael Maltese and directed by Chuck Jones) premiered on December 31, 1955.
		Even his name was given to him only in retrospect in the cartoon itself, neither he nor his tormented victim had names.
		His last name is from his body type, his first from "The Michigan Rag" (the one song that Maltese wrote especially for him), and his middle from the fact that unless evidence exists to the contrary, all cartoon characters are considered to have J. for a middle initial.

		Even in “Duck Amuck,” in which both the film and Daffy’s own form are constantly altered by the vengeful, Godlike hand of the animator, Daffy remains “in character,” as real to us as people in our own lives.
		Strangely, “One Froggy Evening” is absent, and Bob Clampett and Tex Avery are under-represented.
		But the only entry I actually object to is the inclusion of “Dough For the Do-Do,” an inferior color remake of Clampett’s fl and white “Porky In Wackyland,”which is here at the expense of the original.

	DVD Review of Looney Tunes: Golden Collection Volume 2 - DVDtoons! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		As with Volume One, I won’t even try to begin to highlight each and every cartoon on the four discs that make up the new collection — the sheer anticipation and fan-hunger surrounding this release means that you already know if you want it (you do) and what the shorts packed in are.
		Finally, Disc Four offers even more of the same, but with bells and whistles on: a grouping of not only great cartoons, but among the absolute cream of the crop of the best Looney Tunes ever exposed to film.
		There are none of the zip and spark in the characters, but the delivery, and certainly the look of the short is very memorable against the “real deal”, and even more impressive when one considers this is packed in with some of the best in that bunch.

	[No title]
		Some of the cartoons are accompanied by commentary tracks, isolated music tracks, or even short documentaries, and while they vary in interest there’s some good stuff.
		Chief among the new titles are “One Froggy Evening” and “What’s Opera, Doc?”, two of the best cartoons ever (regardless of the originating studio) and each of these masterpieces has an accompanying documentary that puts them into their historical (or should it be hysterical?) perspective.
		One Froggy Evening is the cartoon about the singing frog who’ll only sing when there’s no one to hear him except for his human “master.” It’s a wonderful morality tale as well as being very funny.

		If "What's Opera, Doc?" is notable for its clever use of classical music, Jones' "One Froggy Evening," starring a character who didn't have a name for years, rightfully earns acclaim for using nothing but Tin Pan Alley songs and no dialogue.
		In the short, a demolition worker finds a cornerstone that contains a shoe box with a frog (later dubbed Michigan J. Frog, who ended up as the mascot of the WB network) inside.
		The four DVDs include commentary, with some even including archival comments by Jones, who died in 2002.

		The WB Television Network is a television network in the United States, founded by the Warner Bros. film studio and Tribune Company in January 1995.
		The network is typically referred to as The WB or sometimes The Frog (referring to the network's mascot, the animated character Michigan J. Frog who was introduced in the 1955 animated short, One Froggy Evening).
		Much like its contemporary UPN, the WB was a reaction to the success of the Fox Network and first-run syndicated programming during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

	One Guy's Opinion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		“One Froggy Evening,” for example, is the inspiration for the manner in which Alvey drives Tim berserk--an even worse misuse of the classic than making the frog the WB Network mascot.
		Otis’ plots against Alvey, meanwhile, are basically Road Runner bits, though they’re so terrible that Wile E. Coyote has greater justification for bringing legal action against the filmmakers than he would against the Acme Corporation.
		Kennedy plays Tim as though in a 95-minute television sketch, with the broadest of gestures and the leanest of comic results; Cumming continues his series of bewilderingly bad choices with a role even more dreadful than the one he had in “Spy Kids.” Howard comes on too strong--what a surprise.

		Fans often wonder if all the songs in One Froggy Evening are authentic tunes or whether they were written just for the cartoon.

	EI > DVD > Looney Tunes - The Golden Collection, Volume Two (2004)
		In this second of what will hopefully be a long line of "Looney Tunes" collections coming down the pipe, Warner once again gets the impossible task of picking just 60 more of these animated shorts in an archive of over 1,100 to comprise this landmark second volume box set.
		Kudos to Warner Bros. for even attempting something this ambitious, as they've once again painstakingly (and wonderfully) restored all 60 of these classic shorts.
		Fully restored and completely uncut, the collection includes many of the all-time animated classics, from the early years to several of Chuck Jones's greatest masterpieces "What's Opera Doc," "One Froggy Evening," as well as an unprecedented number of never-before-seen features from mini-docs to rare TV pilots.

		Originally, we were to see the protagonist in the park again, after getting out of the loony bin.
		The man looks even more disheveled, and now it's snowing on him--and the frog is singing "Ri-di, pagliaccio!" from the opera, "Pagliacci." For those of you who might not know, it translates as "Laugh, clown!"
