In light of my recent movie night streams I feel like this topic is perfect. I'm sure Leo The Lion has been mentioned so I'll talk about the gem known as Frog Kingdom.
Weird computer animated movie about frogs. Keith David is in it bless him but also how the heck did he get into these shenanigans. Plot? The King Of The Frogs™ wants his daughter to get married so he legit jist makes her first prize in the frog olympics. The ole Girl Pretends To Be A Dude trope. "I'll be shootin fer me own hand" trope. Prince Froggee Abawbwa is a character in this movie, hes basically one big weak aladdin reference. Random drifter becomes Best Bros with the princess' alter ego (some romance heavily implied too like this dude really falls in bro love). Giant snake who inexplicably has an icemaker machine at his disposal lives solely on a diet of frogs. Coincidentally the Frog King somehow killed his parents during some frog-snake war. The frog olympians are abducted and imprisoned to become snake food, this doesnt work thanks to Princess Pop Culture Reference. Snake crashes the olympics to confront the King and to eat the princess as some weird form of revenge. Did i mention the voice acting is positively horrendous, nonw of the voices sync with the character's faces. Poor Keith David. Froggy Love Interest actually leaves the princess at the altar in favor of a vagrant lifestyle, which turns out to be the freshest twist in this stale box of crackers of a movie. This movie is nearly 2 hours long.
For the love of god don't watch Frog Kingdom.
