Another Froggy Evening is a 1995 Looney Tunes short directed by Chuck Jones.

Title

The title is a play on "another foggy evening."

Plot

Michigan J. Frog has lived for centuries, from the cave era to the space age, and with the same unsuccessful result for both the frog and its helpless finders.

After Marvin the Martian captures Michigan J. Frog into his spaceship, he learns that the singing frog's croaking noise is actually Martian for "Would you like to hear me sing?", which the Martian agreed to. The cartoon ends with both Marvin and Michigan singing a duet of "Let the Rest of the World Go By" in outer space.

Musical Numbers

The songs performed by Michigan J. Frog are the following, in order of appearance:

• "Hello, My Ragtime Gal"
• "The Michigan Rag"
• "On Moonlight Bay"
• "Yankee Doodle"
• "The Prisoner's Song"
• "Let the Rest of the World Go By"

Notes

• This cartoon is a sequel to the 1955 short "One Froggy Evening".
• This cartoon marks the only theatrical cartoon where Marvin the Martian appears without either Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.
  • It is the second time it happened overall. The first time he appears without them was "The Man from M.A.R.S." in Taz-Mania.
• Pussyfoot makes a cameo in the scene where the lions and the tigers appear in the Ancient Greece scene.
• For unknown reasons, this short is not available on Boomerang or HBO Max.
• The audience in Rome represents the following: Tina Raleigh, Don Arioli, Rose Long, Chuck Jones, Michel Breton, Ben Jones, Herman Sharaf, Warren O'Neill, Greg Whittaker, Tod Polson and Lawence Marvit in the back row; Steve Fossati, Bob Givens, Linda Jones Clough, Greg Duffell, Tom Decker and Jill Petrilak in the middle row; Charlie Puzzo, Ted Bemiller, Mike Polvani and Stan Freberg in the front row.
  • In the cartoon, however, O'Neill and Decker are only partially present, with Whittaker, Petrilak, Polson and Marvit are cut off by the camera.
• The Chuck Jones website claimed it was released in January 1995.

Goofs

• Michigan J. Frog is depicted as being the size of a normal frog. However, at the end of the cartoon, he is the same size as Marvin the Martian when they sing their duet.
