The Hare and the Frog

Abstract

This series uses the same Cosby framework as the earlier Lorimar tape but presents only one interrupted fable and adds a cartoon at the end. Typically the animated introduction to the fable-world, with music but no words, is some six minutes long, while the fable takes less time--here less than five minutes. The animated introduction here includes a storm, frightened rabbits playing games with their shadows in their castle, mice helping to stop the flood there, and rabbits frightened of mice. Within the fable there is a great frog band with frog singers on the pods.
