Really very charming stop motion animated short film with dead frogs! It was made by Wladyslaw Starewicz, the great Lithuanian-Russian filmmaker of famous and excellent 'The Cameramen's Revenge', which had insects instead. This 'Les grenouilles qui demandent un roi' was made when he belonged to the Russian Art Society of Paris, together with other artists who opposed the Bolschevik Revolution. As he knew but a hundred years afterwads some people still do not know, monarchy is a quite bad political idea. A froggy idea. I am exploring the extraordinary aninated filmography of this pioneer and I have not watched a single bad film so far.
