Are You Looking For Frog and Toad on DVD??, December 12, 2005
This review is from: Frog and Toad Together: Friends Forever [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I remember watching these cute claymation videos as a child and wanted desperately to get it for my own children. After hours of research and disappointment that it has been discontinued, I had a breakthrough. The director who made these claymation videos (john matthews)also made others, most notably Curious George. You can buy from Amazon the DVD Curious George Comes to America and it also has on it both Frog and Toad Together and Frog and Toad are Friends. I was so happy to have made this discovery. I hope this helps others who are looking for it also.

Fun, intelligent stories for young children, September 19, 2000

The Frog and Toad vignettes are true to the books. The animation is great - these characters really come alive. It is short, but then is followed by a great bonus - a series of songs acted out and sung by different characters (not Frog and Toad). Our whole family sings them.

This review is from: Frog and Toad Together: Friends Forever [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I simply loved this stop-action animation when PBS broadcast it. I was over 25 then but still I taped the two little films and viewed them repeatedly. I am quite upset that they are not currently available. I gave my tape to relatives years ago.
If you have read the books you know that they are made of short, little episodes about the lives of two emotionally committed amphibians, two friends, who find it necessary to confront some of life's serious dilemmmas together. For example, how do you manage to share a basketful of cookies that are simply VERY good; or how do you cope with the loss of a button from a beloved coat. The solutions that these two bright and compassionate characters come up with are surprising and compelling.
I have read the book, but as much as I have enjoyed and loved other readings of Arnold Lobel's authorship, it was through the film that Frog and Toad became my friends. Their personalities are so beautifully resolved in this film and the musical parts are actually audible. Delightfully so.
