Based on a series of beloved children’s stories from the 70s written byArthur Lobel,Frog and Toadfollows two best friends as they enjoy their charming rural life together. Lobel’s stories are full of gentle humor and surprisingly deep wisdom about love, friendship, and self-acceptance for people of all ages, including perhaps the books’ author. Lobel’s daughter hasspeculatedthat writingFrog and Toadmay have been “the beginning of him coming out.” Lobel was a skilled illustrator and showrunnerRob Hoegee(who also voices Mole) clearly took inspiration from the distinctive style of Lobel’s illustrations, while still adding in brighter colors.

Nat Faxon as Frog
Frog, who is voiced here byNat Faxon, is an outgoing green frog who likes adventure and excitement. He’s usually more extroverted than his friend Toad but still appreciates having time alone to think and reflect. Despite his love of adventure, Frog is more practical than Toad in some ways and less likely to become overwhelmed by his life. He loves trying to share the beauty of the world with Toad.
Nat Faxon has an impressive resume of writing, directing, and acting. He, along with his writing partnerJim Rash(the Dean fromCommunity), won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay forThe Descendants. Faxon may be most recognizable to audiences these days as The Swede from HBO’sOur Flag Means Death.
Kevin Michael Richardson as Toad
Toad, voiced byKevin Michael Richardson, is more of a homebody than his friend Frog, but he too can appreciate the wonders outside his house, even if he sometimes needs a little nudge from Frog. In the end, Toad is usually glad that Frog convinced him to go out. Toad is often more anxious than Frog, with a tendency to catastrophize and assume the worst and a habit of dealing with problems by going to bed. He shows a surprising amount of bravery sometimes though and is certainly a better cook than Frog. Despite being simple amphibians, Frog and Toad truly do contain multitudes.
Toad is a gentler and less violent character than many others that Kevin Michael Richardson has brought to life. Richardson is a voice acting great who has provided the iconic voices of characters including Goro inMortal Kombatand Trigon inTeen TitansandTeen Titans Go!.Richardson also voiced The Joker inThe Batmanand, more recently, he voiced Kamek inThe Super Mario Bros Movie,which is currently out in theaters.
