Story Synopsis:
They’re green, they’re mean, and they’re hopping mad! Frogs is an ecological cautionary tale of what could happen if us selfish ole’ homo sapiens continue our disregard of the earth and its creatures. Mean millionaire Mr. Crockett (Milland) has it in for the animals of the world-at least those that invade his island estate. He poisons anything that creeps or crawls, and the critters decide it’s time to strike back-just as the old man’s family gathers for a big birthday bash. This is a scary-good time with great Florida scenery and close-ups of lizards and spiders and stuff.

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a dated picture, with images that can be slightly soft and hazy. That said, detail is nicely rendered, especially close ups of those amphibians (and reptiles and creepy crawlies). Though slightly dull and wanting in definition, colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep blacks. Visual information tends to get lost in the darker scenes. For its age, the picture looks quite good. There are few distractions in the way of pixelization or edge enhancement, though source element artifacts are occasionally bothersome.

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 2.0 soundtrack is big fat mono. When ProLogic®-decoded, the audio is properly placed in the center channel. This is basically the typical 1970’s lackluster mono film sound, with a significantly muffled sonic character. The poor fidelity makes every aspect of the audio sound unnatural.
