Cheeky change of perspective: The children of the Frog King tell how it really was. The frog children Hipp and Hopp live happily and contentedly with their father, Papa Grünsprung, by a small lake. But one day, they have to witness their father being kissed against his will by a long-legged, pale being with a crown. To the horror of the frog children, their father's beautiful green color fades from his frog legs, and he grows horrifically long arms and legs! Hipp and Hopp want their father back. Only Princess Irene can transform him back with a kiss. However, Irene lives ten large forests away. How are they supposed to get there with their little frog legs? Fly?.
