The Frog, the Dog, and the Devil Audience Reviews

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Robert Reynolds This short was nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short. There will be spoilers ahead: This short is a quite unusual short. It centers around one drunk whose principal focus is getting his next bottle. He fills his empty bottle from a horse trough and gets a frog into the bargain.He goes into a bar, orders a bottle, puts it in his pouch and, when he then has no money to pay for it, the barkeep demands the bottle back. He switches bottles, giving the bottle with the frog instead. Problems ensue and he beats a hasty retreat to his horse and leaves town. That's where the "fun" begins.This is a spooky horseback ride indeed. The drunk sees a naked woman and then his horse gets spooked and his life gets interesting. The woman turns into a devil, among other things and the drunk and a dog barely escape with their lives.Back at the saloon, the drunk ultimately pays for the same bottle he switched to begin the nightmare. The end is eerie and best watched cold.This short isn't in print, but it can be found online and is well worth watching. Most recommended.
