Froggy


We're not talking Andy Devine's sidekick (and you have to be of a certain age to understand that reference) but a cartoon of renown.

Dec 25, 1955- Chuck Jone's 'One Froggy Evening' premiered. Director Steven Spielberg called it the "Citizen Kane of Cartoons."

If you wonder why you never heard the old-time ditty 'The Michigan Rag' anywhere else but here, was because Chuck Jones & Mike Maltese wrote it specifically for the cartoon.
