Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Absolutely the worst movie.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Everytime my 8 year old decides to watch this, I want to drill a hole into my head. The animation is "meh", clearly dubbed from its original language, and lacks imagination. The voice acting is emotionless, poorly timed, and at times feels like lines were made up for the sake of filling space. The script and story line are repetitive and utterly predictable. The plot goes on without building any secondary characters or plot interest. Everytime it's on, it feels like a 20 minute show that's been stretched into 3 hours. There's not even a morale to the story or lesson to learn. My kids don't have discriminating tastes, but I will say that most of the shows they watch at least try. This is a dumpster fire in action and I can't think of a bigger waste of time.
Frog Kingdom is one of those movies that wants you to focus on the dialogue, not the action. I can tell that because the lip-syncing makes me want to hurl violently. However, the animation and modeling is quite smooth and the plot isn't that bad. Another con that I have is the jokes. A drunken uncle tells better jokes than this movie does. And this movie tells them a LOT. I would look at the bright side, but I can't when the characters are saying bad puns with lips that look like a sphincter trying to squeeze out a solid brick. I got so carried away that I actually destroyed my copy of this movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9yrEP-6fcs). Don't buy this movie.
The design and animation looked quite good at first, but then the voice acting is just so bad that it's had to concentrate on anything without cringing. It's like they hired amateurs, you can feel they are reading their text without even looking at the screen, worse, they all sound bored. Like, "I don't care what I'm doing, all I want is the money, let it end as soon as possible." Just another detail: as it deals with frogs in a watery scenery probably, I have been focusing on how the water is rendered from the very beginning, and that very first scene alone was screaming: "We're doing the minimum we can for it to look decent." A total waste of time would be my conclusion.
Positive: Animation quality was good, but not great. Negatives: 1. Most notably the actors chosen for English voice over were both mismatched to their characters and just plain robotic and boring. 2. Dialogue was just as bad; pointless without meaning or feeling and with no direction (conveying storyline/plot convincingly); didn't seem to have a targeted audience in mind either to young viewers or broadly intelligent enough for all ages; the worst was not being synced to the characters mouth movements which turned out to be an irritating distraction. 3. Animation quality as mentioned above was good but it also had the distracting quality of being too much (too misdirecting) in each scene making it difficult to focus on the central character's actions each moment. 4. Nothing creative in the storytelling: the usual princess doesn't want to be married, especially to the many unlikeable suitors; just wants to freely follow her own dreams but then, of course, one suitor is a little different from the rest which could affect her plans. The usual evil adversary to add an antagonist to the story which didn't turn out very believable.
