"So who's Felix? Felix is the frog that we meet in this delightful "Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends" DVD release. Those that watched "The Prince, the Princess and the Bee" have already met Felix, but now you can have a proper introduction to him with a set of three specials from the show. This DVD combines the three specials into one full-length movie. They are "Secret Frog," "Big Green Bug" and "Be Good to Bugs... And Frogs."
Squirt, Shimmer and Spinner are out playing at the Taddy Puddle, fantasizing about monsters. They discover Felix and are afraid at first, because Felix is a frog and generally, frogs eat bugs. They discover that Felix is prone to getting his tongue tied around things because he has bad aims. But he doesn't eat frogs and is happy to be their friend, because he doesn't really fit in with other frogs. The kids soon have lots of fun playing with Felix, but are disturbed when Spiderus (in one of the late, great Tony Jay's final vocal performances) starts an anti-frog squad.
"A Froggy Day in Sunny Patch" carries the same philosophy found in other releases in the series and known and loved by fans of the series --- be kind to others and you'll probably receive kindness in return. The CGI animation sparkles as always. Felix is a nice addition to the series and the stories include both great action and tender moments. No "Miss Spider" fan should miss this DVD."
