 In this episode of the
animated Christian children’s series, Tony the Frog starts a paper route that
consumes his life. His delivery tactics are quite aggressive and he carelessly
destroys others’ property and deserts his friends in order to build his empire.
His friends are concerned and pray for him. There is a stock market crash and
Tony’s company is left in shambles. His friends send him a picture of all of
them, and he returns to them and apologizes.
A small amount of humorous
“violence” occurs when Tony seeks faster delivery for the papers. He starts with
a bow and arrow on horseback, then graduates to a tank and finally a military
plane and “bombs” his customers with their newspapers.
This episode offers a lesson
on idolatry (putting money before God), and there are subtle undertones of
Christianity. The show teaches a good lesson in a kid-friendly way.
Because of its
portrayal of positive values, the Parents Television Council is proud to award
The Rise and Fall of Tony the Frog with the PTC Seal of ApprovalTM.
The PTC recommends this program children ages 3 and up.
