    This has the look of a wartime concert party show to it, only set in the Mississippi delta and obviously largely consisting of energetic frogs rather than Bob Hope. Including a combination of rhythmic jazz music and some lively dancing of differing styles, there are plenty of characterful antics going on amongst the reeds and the weeds. It’s a steady style of animation rather than a particularly innovative one, but there is still some fun to be had especially as they don grass skirts and attempt a belly dance! Not great, but still an enjoyable splish-splash of colour and culture....
