What happens

Freddie as F.R.O.7 (also known as Freddie the Frog) is a 1992 British animated musical action fantasy comedy film written and directed by Jon Acevski and starring the voice of Ben Kingsley. The film was inspired by bedtime stories Acevski told his son about his favourite toy frog working as a secret agent. The story is a parody of James Bond. The film was released in both the United Kingdom and the United States in the summer of 1992. It was negatively received by critics and audiences. It held the record of the lowest-grossing opening for an animated film at the US box office until The Ten Commandments in 2007, also starring Ben Kingsley and became a box office failure.
