Flip the Frog makes his debut on Blu-ray! All 38 cartoons, restored from their original master materials!

As a schoolboy, über-animator Ub Iwerks was best-known for dropping a frog down a classmate’s clothes. 25 years later—now more famous as the co-creator of Mickey —Ub left *Disney* to launch “Mr. Frog” as a star all his own! With work by classic cartoon colleagues Grim Natwick, Irv Spence, Al Eugster, Shamus Culhane, and Ben Clopton, this wild, racy, musical series finds our feckless Flip in and out of trouble in the Great Depression... with “help” from mawkish mule Orace, the ornery Old Maid, pesky Willie the mouse, and no less than four girlfriends. (Oops... kissed a frog!).

Remastered from original camera negatives and 35mm fine-grains around the world, Flip’s 38 classic tales look better than ever—from the haunted hijinks of The Cuckoo Murder Case to the Hollywood hysterics of Soda Squirt.

And more! Look for previously unseen scenes, galleries of animation art, a library of Flip’s vintage comics, and commentary tracks by a whole pondful of classic cartoon fans and scholars. Why settle for a frog who only sings Michigan rags—and only when no one else is around to see?
