Trivia When this short was remastered in 2004 for the VHS and DVD release of "Giggle, Giggle, Quack", new sound effects were added that were not heard at all in the original version, such as sounds of a frog croaking as the bullfrog's voice, and crash sounds when he explodes in all directions.

Quotes Narrator: There was the bullfrog in mid-air. He looks down; there's nothing underneath him. He looks over; there's nothing to land on. He says...
Bullfrog: Where am I?
Narrator: The only thing left was the road. He started hopping down the road.
Bullfrog: [hops down the road and stops when he sees everyone in the Corner Store singing his song and having a dance party] Hey, what's all that racket down at the corner store? Why they're singing! They're singing about *me*!
Narrator: And he was so proud, he puffed himself up with pride.
[the bullfrog inflates with pride each time the narrator says what is next]
Narrator: And he puffed, and he puffed, and he puffed, and he puffed, and he...
[the bullfrog explodes in every direction]
Narrator: Pow, he exploded all directions! Cows, barns, farmers, chickens, wives, children, the whole Corner Store went up in the air!
[everyone comes back where they were supposed to have been]
Narrator: And everybody floated down from the sky... landed right where they were supposed to have been the whole time. Sat down eating supper, feeling kind of foolish for themselves.
