Teddy Eats Frogs

Teddy walks in while a man is about to have his dinner. Teddy interrupts the man every time he wants to eat. When the man runs away angry, Teddy quickly eats his food: frogs. The frogs have their effect on Teddy immediately: he jumps through the house and ends up on the street where he jumps over streets, trees, water and trains. Meanwhile, a growing parade of people follows Teddy, until he can no longer jump and is taken away in a cloth.

Directed by —, Teddy Eats Frogs leans on a strong ensemble — Édouard Pinto — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1912.
