"It inspired my children and brought out their creativity. They asked for clay and they're making their own movie called CITY FROGS." -Marilyn, mother of three

"The kids were able to use their imagination. They enjoyed the story and the music." -Rosemarie McBride, 4th Grade Language Arts/Reading Teacher, Brooklawn Elementary School

"Terrific family entertainment with an important message for all of us.” -Rebecca Rivera, Staff Trainer, Kindercare, Solon, Ohio

I recorded the traffic, planes and birds outside my house in the city. My dog, Sybil, a yellow Lab, did her own barking, growling and moaning. I had to eat a half dozen cupcakes in front of her so she would perform. Neighborhood dogs bark for the other dogs. There was a dog that lived two doors down from me and sat on the roof of his garage just like Smokey in the movie. Cleveland radio personalities, local actors and school children provided the voices. It took six months to build the miniature set and create the clay cast and two months to film, record music, voices and edit the program. There is nothing high tech about it. With some cardboard from a box, poster board, glue and a piece of sandpaper, a child could make a dog house just like Sybil's. Other materials in the set which measures 13 X 8 include plaster, twigs, steel wool, colored foam and popsicle sticks. One mother said her children were inspired by the movie and asked for some clay to make their own movie.
