- | {{Template}}Frogs feature prominently in [[folklore]], [[fairy tale]]s and popular culture. They tend to be portrayed as benign, ugly, clumsy, but with hidden talents. Examples include [[Michigan J. Frog]], [[The Frog Prince (story)|''The Frog Prince'']], and [[Kermit the Frog]]. Michigan J. Frog, featured in a [[Warner Brothers]] cartoon, only performs his singing and dancing routine for his owner. Once another person looks at him, he will return to a frog-like pose. "The Frog Prince" is a fairy tale of a frog who turns into a handsome prince once [[kiss]]ed. Kermit the Frog, on the other hand, is a conscientious and disciplined character of ''[[Sesame Street]]'' and ''[[The Muppet Show]]''; while openly friendly and greatly talented, he is often portrayed as cringing at the fanciful behaviour of more flamboyant characters. | + | {{Template}}Frogs feature prominently in [[folklore]], [[fairy tale]]s and popular culture.
