The story about a man-sized frog named Prince Frederic who is turned into a frog by his wicked aunt Messina and hired by British Intelligence to solve the mysterious disappearances of some of Britain's greatest monuments. Several hundred years later, Freddie is now living in modern day Paris -- a six-foot-tall amphibian with the moniker Secret Agent F.R.O.7. Messina, too, is still around causing mischief, joining forces with an arch-villain named El Supremo in a scheme to shrink Big Ben. Freddie, alerted to Messina's nefarious plans, gathers his fellow agents Daffers and Scottie together, planning to hide out in Big Ben and surprise the evil doers when they are set to strike at the much-loved British landmark.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Freddie as F.R.O.7 isn't all bad once i seen it. But i did see some of the reasons why it was a flop and a box office failure. The story wasn't that great, some characters are awful (like the Ravens), and the animation should of been better. What are some of the things that are redeemable about this film? First of all i think Freddie is a likable character. He is based on James Bond, but he also reminds me of Basil from The Great Mouse Detective. Second of all, i love the villains in this movie. Messina was a great villain. She killed Freddie's parents, and she tried to kill her own nephew as well. The real main villain in the movie is El Supremo, a crime boss who is responsible for capturing famous buildings, which he plans to use to create a sleeping virus. He is also Messina's husband. He was great villain to, but he should have a better fighting skills. Finally, some of the songs in this movie are enjoyable. "Evilmania" is the best song in the movie. Overall to bad this film din't success very well. It had its mistakes, but i do find this movie okay to watch, just for the villains and the songs. So i,m giving this movie 5 out of 10 stars.

forgive the pun, i watched this movie about a week or two back for the fun of it since i was trying hard to remember it after not seeing it since childhood, let me tell you, the film seemed a hell of a lot better when i was a child.i gave it a 2 because of the good animation but other than that this is a pretty pointless and awful movie.the dubbing was the worst part of this movie to me, but the characters never had any worth remembering lines anyway so it doesn't matter.there were two songs in this movie that i really didn't see the point of, the queen of evilmania and nessie's song, both of them had absolutely terrible lyrics not even fit for an episode of postman pat and both seemed utterly pointless and wasted time, they were probably only put in to fill gaps.do we even find out at all during this movie who this insanely evil and pudgy dictator is, i don't think i hear his name once or even why he's involved with the movie.i don't get why freddie decided to go back to France to stop crooks, i don't understand why he drives this weird green car and i don't get how he managed to turn from a 6 inch frog to a 5 foot man during one scene or how exactly the other frogs managed to find him clothes, the fact that it's a kids animation is not a plausible excuse.the only other good bit i thought was the British man who always tripped over his own phone chord and got tangled up in it more than once in the film and each time more ridiculously, this to me was a pretty original and funny joke but they didn't execute it perfectly enough to make it funny.there's a Scottish character in it, and guess what his name is, that's right, Scottie, very very typical.my real question is, why exactly could all of britains monuments be used to power up a crystal which puts people to sleep, if you cant answer that question then there really is no reason for the second half of this movie.so anyway, my verdict, the film was too short, made no sense, was a work of nonsense and was poorly casted vocally.

If you're a fan of animation from independent companies, you can stumble across anything far worse than Freddie as F.R.O.7. It's not a horrible movie, but sadly it isn't a great one, either. The main weakness of it is that the plot just isn't very believable, as the story of a young prince transformed into a frog saves England from disappearing buildings is just plain silly. If you can ignore the confusing silliness of the plot, you might find it a charming cartoon.And it helps that some have actually put some effort into the film. The animation isn't up to par with Disney, but like all indie company efforts, some shots are truly gorgeous. The nessies are particularly well animated, our first encounter with one of them is beautifully handled. The voices are topnotch, too, with Ben Kingsley pumping charm through Freddie.Other than that, it's pretty weak. While kids would love the characters and good intentions, it's not satisfying enough for the big screen. But at least it has its charm.

Wow, my first new review in months. What a great one to start out on! Am I glad to see that IMDB has an entry for this completely demented movie. I was starting to doubt my own sanity.On to the review. This is one of those movies that is way to incomprehensibly bizarre to hate. If you like insane films, and you find it in the video store, rent it and watch it. Like it's obvious soul-brother, "Sayu-Ki", it might just change your life. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
