Alright, so this definitely got in the top ranking on my favorite animated films. Probably number 3 [Monsters Inc, and Robots being first.]

I'm surprised we don't already have a topic on it, as it was played in by two of our beloved Lord of the Rings actors.

Sir Ian McKellen
and Any Serkis

Both of whom did a brilliant job! It was a bit freaky to see McKellen play a pompous, slightly insane, toad with a HUGE mouth. But he surprisingly pulled it off really well. And then his villain counter part, Le Frog, was hilarious! Andy Serkis did a great job as well, as a "overenthusiastic loser."

One of my favorite bits about it was all the cultural humor. The different British accents [posh, chav, cockney], then jokes about the French, and then the hilarious American tourists that pop up every now and then.

The slugs were also so cute and random! I love how they just appeared at random moments, doing the randomest of things!! [Don't worry, be happy... LOL!]

So... surely I'm not the only one obsessing over this little cartoon?

It was pretty good as far as kids movies go, but I miss the old disney animated classics.

I agree, Hugh Jackman did a great job! As well as Kate Winslet. And of course our beloved Andy and Sir Ian.

I loved the french ninja frogs, though.
"To action!" "We surrender!"
(No offense to the french though, you guys are great! )

^ True, and it was a lot more original than pretty much all the disney movies.

No, I didn't catch that! How awesome!

Oh, yes! The mime frog was great! Especially when they had him act with the Toad on a cell phone.

Yay! so I'm not the only person on here who actually watches [and loves!] cartoons!

Rofl, yes the frogs were great! I haven't quoted a movie so much since pirates came out.
[i]You will pay for that, my little chocolate croissant!!"
*dies*

Oh yes, I did see that Bill Nighy was in it! Did anyone beside me watch the behind the scenes... extra slug songs? Those were great! And the interviews with the actors too... Andy Serkis was so funny! I love his description of Spike.

Oh, and Rita's family! It cracked me up because it reminded me so much of my eldest sister and her 9 kids. "They call me Shocky." Hahah!
