Froggy Goes Hollywood
BB got some screen time the other night, so its time for fair turn-around ;)
P and E had a project a few weeks ago. They would make a movie with Froggy. Though P's plush pals are rather round characters, cardboard descriptions would follow thusly:
BB: The ever devoted younger brother who often misunderstands situations. He is scared of numerous things and is therefore fabulously fun to both torment and teach.
Sock Monkey: Hmmm, a little ornery, he's a yarn weaver, loving tall tails and chase based games.
Froggy: Well, basically, Froggy is a fuck. Seriously. He's ornery, tricky, argumentative, and when pushed to his limits, becomes "Super Froggy," the likes of which are not pretty.
From this cast, P has his choice of playmates, and yet, Froggy gets playtime. I don't get it. Well, I guess I do, a little:) When P picks Froggy, the gloves come off. Its jungle rules. Though I'll still hear him ask polite questions on occasion, or try to communicate cooperatively, generally there is just shrieking. Happy shrieks that evolve into pissed off shrieks, then foot stomps, then strongly worded directives to Froggy on how to be a better friend. When P picks Froggy, he has to be tough, stand up for himself, fight for his rights... and he can play a little rotten too :) Now, I just watched the clip below, in which (in typical sneaky Froggy form) Froggy appears to be a pretty nice guy, while the Little Man plays the part of hellion. Rest assured, this was all provoked, pre- camera roll. Well, mostly provoked...
Because, when the three of them decided to make a movie, P and Froggy fought all evening about how the movie would go. Which, basically, became the movie...
