[3] Inspired by bedtime stories, Acevski told his son about his favourite toy frog working as a secret agent.
In the Middle Ages, 10-year-old Prince Frederic is orphaned when his evil aunt Messina kills his parents in hopes of taking the throne for herself.
The story flashes forward to the 20th century, where the seemingly immortal Freddie has grown up to become a member of the French Secret Service, with the code name F.R.O.7.
By the time Freddie arrives, Nelson's Column, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Stonehenge are already missing.
Freddie and Scotty are thrown into a pool of sea monsters, while Daffers gets taken to be brainwashed into a mindless follower and enslaved person of El Supremo and Messina.
A final battle ensues between Freddie, Daffers, Scotty, the Loch Ness Monster, El Supremo, Messina, and their army.
[4] The film was inspired by bedtime stories Acevski told to his son about his favorite toy frog working as a secret agent.
As previously mentioned, the Freddie the Frog cut was released directly to VHS by MCA/Universal Home Video and Shapiro-Glickenhaus Entertainment in 1995.
"[9] Derek Elley of Variety said, "A shake 'n' bake mixture of virtually every toon genre going, it makes up in energy what it lacks in originality".
[10] "The movie, which bills itself as the most ambitious animated film ever to come out of Britain, is a convoluted adventure story that swirls classic fairy-tale mythology together with modern pop-cultural iconography into an unwieldy hodgepodge," said Stephen Holden of The New York Times.
Due to the disastrous critical and financial performance of the film, production was cancelled, and the animation studio filed for bankruptcy shortly afterward.
As of 2016, no other information of Washington exists outside a few pencil tests which still can be seen on a YouTube video uploaded back in 2009; presumably from a former animator involved in the film's production.
