One Froggy Evening (1955)

hilarious--one of Warner Brothers best cartoons

[10/10 · 14 June 2006]

This is simply hilarious! A poor shmoe is helping demolish an old building. When he gets to the cornerstone, a live frog is miraculously living inside. But this is no ordinary frog, but one that sings and dances! The guy runs out to find an agent, but the frog won't sing for him. So, he uses all his money and rents out a hall. When the people come, the frog stops singing. It seems that the frog will only sing to this guy and this guy alone. Eventually, the guy is left penniless and quite irked at the dumb frog. In the end, he, too, sticks this frog in the cornerstone of a building under construction. Later, in the distant future, another poor shmoe is seen finding the frog and assuming he, too, will become a rich man!
