Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaArlo has an older sister (mentioned but not seen) named Arlene. Despite the clear similarity between the names, they do appear to have different origins.
- Alternate versionsCompared to the earlier Orion VHS and Image Laserdisc, the version distributed on VHS and DVD by Feature Films for Families cuts almost 2 minutes in 7 small sections. These cuts are primarily concerned with references to astrology, witchcraft, and other "non-Christian" subjects, and some sexuality, although sexuality does not seem to be the primary focus.
- Arlo promises to behave on his date: "by the blood of a horny toad, I swear!"
- Before Arlo heads out for his date, his mom offers to read his date's palm and asks him to at least find out her sign; his dad wants to talk about his first date with Arlo's mom, and encourages Arlo to stay out late. (The palmistry book his mom is reading remains visible, and his dad's later comment that a 9:15 return is "the best you could do" retained.)
- Part of a long panning shot showing the double date inside the movie theater is cut to hide 2 teenagers making out a few rows ahead.
- Both times Gus' story of how he became a frog (first told by him to Arlo, then by Arlo to Susie) are severely shortened. The wicked witch who wanted a kiss from him, his refusal, and her turning him into a frog are all removed, so the story basically becomes that he used to be a prince, and now he's a frog (600 years).
- Before Arlo tries getting his mom to give Gus a good night kiss, he makes up a story that Gus isn't feeling well in order to build up sympathy, and she is surprised her "beetle mash" remedy didn't do any good.
- While Arlo's outside trying to recruit a girl to kiss Gus, his parents talk about him inside. Cut is a line from his mom chalking up his behavior: "Well, Mercury is in retrograde! I'm gonna do his chart again." Arlo walks into the house, between his parents, during the cut.

Featured review
If you liked "The Matrix" you'll love Frogs!
Truly one of the finer coming-of-age stories out there. Fine acting from the mother, whom you may remember from The Shining amongst other items. She even played a major role in the production. The effects are stimulating. The young boy going against his RUBUS state, squarer than a L-7 Weenie, through the help of his frog/science project. The frog effects bedazzled me.
His large reptile collection represents an urge to go beyond his mere human emotions, consisting mostly of an overwhelming sense of rejection and helplessness. If only the Coloroda shooters had frogs of their own. If every boy was issued a frog and no fret of a mother's concern of the dangerous swamp.
The final war-rally of the frogs is almost a scene out of Braveheart.
My emotions are too overpowering to continue with the review. This breathtaking romp through the spectrum of human emotion still sends shivers down my spine. This is something YOU MUST EXPERIENCE FOR YOURSELF. Even if it's the last thing you do....
Viewing recommended only under extreme medication. It's just that good.
