What happens

Charlie Strapp and Froggy Ball Flying High (Swedish: Kalle Stropp och Grodan Boll på svindlande äventyr) is a 1991 Swedish animated feature film directed by Jan Gissberg after an original script by Thomas Funck, using Funck's already well-established characters. It follows a shorter film made by the same team in 1987, Kalle Stropp och Grodan Boll räddar Hönan. This is the first time since before 1954 where a Kalle Stropp production features voice acting by others than only Funck himself, only with the exception of children that had participated in other productions as well. It was dubbed into English by Filmor and Cinélume in 1994 and was only released straight-to-video in Canada under the name Charlie and Froggy from Alliance Films and Australia under its original title from Rocvale Video. The majority of the characters' names were changed and four minutes of footage were removed. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
