I say let ol' Michigan show up in Roadrunner's neck of the woods. Will the Coyote enjoy a bit of dinner theater, or make a tasty frog soup? Your call....
The best thing about this is that Siskel & Ebert are in the Colosseum crowd at 5:13. What a honour for them to be immortalized in a Chuck Jones cartoon like that.
His real name is Chet J Michigan. One night as usual the darned frog wouldn't sing. It was close to Christmas and the guy holding him at the bar needed some cash, so he said, "You darned frog, you'll sing or else!" The runt wouldn't whistle a tune. So, the guy held him over a candle and the frog began to sing: "Chet's nuts roasting over and open fire...."
Hmm...Let's recap: Michigan J. Frog is immortal or at least has a long life span, travels/lives in a box that has kept the same form over decades, hat can change shape/costume changes over time, can understand alien languages, know songs before they're even created...I'm just going to say it: he's a time lord.
@Kronos64 and the most badass amphibian on the face of the planet! that's why i hate the CW! i can handle the doing away with the rest of the stuff but you do NOT F*CK WITH THE FROG!
@jsl151850b "One Froggy Evening" ended in 2056. But this whole cartoon takes place before that cartoon. You can see in "Scene 7" that the castaway has a box with "Robinson Crusoe, Esq." on it. So I guess Marvin the Martian let Michigan J. Frog go (perhaps after a similar fate as all these guys) in 1892, just in time for the dedication of the building torn down in 1955.
@jumpropeman I know. I liked his original voice better. :( BTW, the guys at 5:13... who're they supposed to be, Siskel & Ebert or something like that?
@Bobzeaux The animation has been tweeked. Movement, colors and angles are a more modern style. This was released in 1995 with City of Angels movie. (IMDB)
woah! Marvin can sing?! And he's good?! Marvin's awesome level just went up 1000 points! But what's up with his girly eyelashes? Is it to show that he's happy? We already know that he's happy.
i was going to propose the question of how the hell he got a tophat, cane and metal box...and learned english 300,000 years ago...but being that its a cartoon about a frog that lives forever and has a beautiful singing voice...i decided not to lol
I knew there was a logical explanation for stone henge, none of this alien rubbish it was a platform for the Michigan J. Frog. Somebody update Wikipedia.
I don't think he's immortal, I remember searching up Michigan J. Frogs history, and on his final act, he appeared as a ghost bowing down to the audience at the end of the final episode in June or July 2005
@Marvincmf One time when I was watching this, I was folding towels and when it came to this part, I sang Marvin's part and Mom complimented me on my harmony.
Notice when Caesar unleashes the lions and tigers...the very last one is the kitten from that cartoon where the kitten gets comfortable on the bulldog's back?
The quality of talent working today isn't less than it used to be. But the crew that made the classic films are now gone. Anything new made with Bugs, Daffy, and the gang will always seem like a dim reflection. We should be looking to make new films with new characters.
At the time Froggy evening was made, Marvin Martian was extremely popular. Suddenly there was a request from the top to add Marvin to the story... because Warner Bros. wanted production cels of Marvin to sell in the gallery.
While I appreciate their attempts to create new looney tunes shorts, everytime I realize they will never be as good as they were. The animation quality is worse, the slapstick is just not right, and how similar the voices of billy west and co. may be the voice acting is just not the same without mel blanc. Maybe we should just let the looney tunes rest.
I think Stan Freberg or Don Arioli thought the Titanic bit up. Chuck thought that using the Titanic wouldn't be tasteful, and might offend some of the families of those that died! Could have been a great story though.
@RandomDumbass You had to know he was immortal from day one. When he is originally removed from the cornerstone of the condemned courthouse (in the first one) in 1955, a letter says he's been there since 1892. *grin* How did he live if not immortal?
@NoxiNobodi I just bought an anti-demon-frog-cuz-they-so-scary kit from my alien friend paul, he is also immortal and he knows the frog very good. he sais that if we want the frog to sing we give him a donkey that poops rainbows so he can have lots of leprechaun gold for his work..... to be honest with you i dont realy care and im very, very, veeerrryyyy high right now.... do i have detention now?
@joneswill37 Nope, I caught onto that joke too. Nice touch. Plus the dog's kitten from an earlier cartoon chasing after the Roman guy along with the jungle cats.
@MrJohn2010 The original was done in 1955. This was done in 1995, so they used a different actor to do the singing. Also, with the change in recording technologies, the quality of recording is different.
