Notes from Chuck’s Diary …
A slinky, slimy green amphibian made cartoon history when it premiered in movie theaters across the country on December 31, 1955. Unnamed at the time, the singing frog tormented and abused the man who discovered him, driving him to rack and ruination in just six and a half minutes.
“I felt I had to make the frog believable in a very short time, so when he pulls himself out of the tin he slips a little bit, and when he blinks he blinks upward. That may sound ridiculous—who knows that is the way amphibians blink? I know it, so I have to put it in, and you’d better be impressed!” — Chuck Jones, Chuck Reducks
It is but a frog after all, and without believability, it wouldn’t have been as shocking as it was, when seconds later it burst into “Hello my baby, hello my darling, hello my rag-time gal …” The true hallmark of the Jones genius was, is, that always there must be believability, without which none of these fables would have the life they do.
Inducted into the National Film Archives of the Smithsonian Institution in 2003, One Froggy Evening joins two other Jones masterpieces there, What’s Opera, Doc? and Duck Amuck confirming their classical immutability. Subtle and grandiloquent at the same time, One Froggy Evening’s silent-movie story (except for that singing!) is one of Chuck Jones’ most celebrated and brilliant masterpieces.
