Warstory
Due to being shot in the middle of winter, care had to be taken to avoid the harsh weather conditions causing the all-amphibian cast to die from the cold. This involved digging up a square foot of grass from a nearby park, and shooting all shots of the frogs in a "carefully controlled studio environment".
