Synopsis:

Freddie the Frog is an enchanting tale about an extraordinary young prince named Frederic who becomes a superhero. When the beloved monarch is orphaned, his wicked Aunt Messina casts an evil spell on him and turns him into a frog so she can assume the throne! But you can't keep a good man - or frog! - down, and soon, 'Freddie' begins a new life filled with exciting adventures.

As he grows, Freddie the Frog's own magical powers set him apart from his new friends, who urge him to use his talents to fight evil. He becomes a world famous secret agent and is called upon to help find England's vanishing historical monuments! But when he discovers the mastermind behind this fiedish plot is none other than his power-hungry aunt, Freddie counts on the help of his friends - a lovable sea-monster named Nessie, a bumbling general, and fellow agents Daffers and Scotty - to help him meet the biggest challenge of his career.

Original music from George Benson, Patti Austin, Grace Jones, Asia and Boy George.
