'Frog Kingdom'
(Bella Thorne, Cameron Dallas, Rob Schneider, Drake Bell, Keith David, et al / DVD / PG / (2013) 2015 / LGF)
Overview: Princess Froglegs goes undercover to compete in her father's Froglympics in order to avoid being married off to a male suitor.
DVD Verdict: When the Frog King announces that the winner of the Froglympics will marry his daughter, Princess Froglegs, she runs away, and begins training as a commoner. She is determined to win both the games and her freedom. Meanwhile, the villainous snake Serpent has ideas of his own: to ruin the Froglympics and take over the kingdom.
With a little luck - and a little help from their friend, the trusty Sidekick - Freddy and Princess Froglegs must save Frog Kingdom from the wicked clutches of Serpent.
With regard story lines, this is a highly original one, I'll give it that. As for star power on vocal display, well, Bella Thorne is always hot property, but Drake Bell and Rob Schneider seems likes a bottom of a barrel dive, to me, sorry. That said, they vocally perform to their highest of personal levels as quirky characters trying to hold a tale together that, for the most part, will entice your young ones to watch avidly. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1:85.1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Special Features of:
