This is a bad film. The characters and story are very poorly developed even for a kids film. There is quite a lot of needless arguing and fighting between the friends in the film which really sets a poor example for small children and made the relationships seem very strange between the characters.The animation doesn't add to the experience and there are a number of times when the movement of characters looks very unnatural. Mouth movements look like the film was probably made for the Chinese market and simply dubbed into English.Probably the worst thing about the movie is some cringe worthy dialogue and action, which for a small kids film is often inappropriate. This includes one overweight female character being called a "chubbo" and another character asking one "Are you tripping?". There is also a scene where a male character marches in 3 girls hitting them with a bar to keep them in line. This ain't Toy Story. Do your kids a favour and give it a miss.

Frog Kingdom is one of those movies that wants you to focus on the dialogue, not the action. I can tell that because the lip-syncing makes me want to hurl violently. However, the animation and modeling is quite smooth and the plot isn't that bad. Another con that I have is the jokes. A drunken uncle tells better jokes than this movie does. And this movie tells them a LOT. I would look at the bright side, but I can't when the characters are saying bad puns with lips that look like a sphincter trying to squeeze out a solid brick. I got so carried away that I actually destroyed my copy of this movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9yrEP-6fcs). Don't buy this movie.

The design and animation looked quite good at first, but then the voice acting is just so bad that it's had to concentrate on anything without cringing. It's like they hired amateurs, you can feel they are reading their text without even looking at the screen, worse, they all sound bored. Like, "I don't care what I'm doing, all I want is the money, let it end as soon as possible." Just another detail: as it deals with frogs in a watery scenery probably, I have been focusing on how the water is rendered from the very beginning, and that very first scene alone was screaming: "We're doing the minimum we can for it to look decent." A total waste of time would be my conclusion.

Positive: Animation quality was good, but not great. Negatives: 1. Most notably the actors chosen for English voice over were both mismatched to their characters and just plain robotic and boring. 2. Dialogue was just as bad; pointless without meaning or feeling and with no direction (conveying storyline/plot convincingly); didn't seem to have a targeted audience in mind either to young viewers or broadly intelligent enough for all ages; the worst was not being synced to the characters mouth movements which turned out to be an irritating distraction. 3. Animation quality as mentioned above was good but it also had the distracting quality of being too much (too misdirecting) in each scene making it difficult to focus on the central character's actions each moment. 4. Nothing creative in the storytelling: the usual princess doesn't want to be married, especially to the many unlikeable suitors; just wants to freely follow her own dreams but then, of course, one suitor is a little different from the rest which could affect her plans. The usual evil adversary to add an antagonist to the story which didn't turn out very believable.
