The singing Frog is cruel, but a lot of the Looney Toon/Merrie Melodies characters are cruel. The frog, at least, doesn't drop anvils on someone else's head, or get them hit by cars, or run over by trains, or smashed by cannon balls, or shot by Elmer, or.

*blink* ...but that's slapstick. Not only that, it's animated slapstick. No animals were harmed during the making of these cartoons, etc.

Do you think humans doing slapstick is cruel? Because. If you think something that's totally safe (okay mostly) and harmless and meant to make you laugh because there are no dangerous consequences (due to your brain expecting it, then getting the shock reaction when it doesn't), is "cruel" then. Well. I really don't know what to say.

Okay I'm biased. I like slapstick, okay.

I never said I didn't like it. I associate a lot of classical music with Bugs Bunny, after all. I'm just saying, that as far as cruelty goes with the singing frog? He's kinda low on the list.

And, no, I actually don't like human slapstick very much. Jerry Lewis, John Ritter, myeh.

I'm not sure that it is on the frog because he dislikes, cruel, even with the "devil spawn" epithet. More I got the impression that they just find him annoying.

No, the Frog in One Froggy Evening isn't cruel. The guy who thinks he's going to get rich off of something that sings just for him is comically greedy and sets up his own undoing. It's a modernization of a tale as old as Aesop, possibly also referencing a folk myth about frogs found entombed in rock.

It's a different kind a of cruel.
