* Really, the premise itself (though [[SoBadItsGood not by intention]])! Just say it out loud with a straight face: a magical prince in a medieval kingdom gets turned into a frog by his evil aunt, who wants to rule the world. [[AssPull Then]] the prince is saved by the Loch Ness Monster and [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext grows up to be an anthropomorphic human-sized frog who becomes a French secret agent with a sentient car in the early 1990s and confronts a hammy cult leader voiced by BRIAN BLESSED who, assisted by the protagonist's seemingly-ageless aunt and a troop of cyborgs, Nazi SS officers and Klansmen, is scheming to shrink and purloin British landmarks and unleash a sleeping virus on Britain enabling him to achieve world domination]]. It almost feels like [[ClicheStorm a]] ''[[ClicheStorm parody]]'' of [[UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation late '80s/early '90s animated family features]] with its cookie-cutter fairy tale plot, stock sidekick characters and AwardBait music, and yet the experience is just so indescribably bizarre. It's up there with films like ''Film/PinkFlamingos'' or ''Film/TheRoom2003'' who's mere ''existence'' is hilarious in and of itself!

** In fact, right after the disappearance of Canterbury Cathedral was announced by the BBC, a telephone made a distorted, very hilarious-sounding ring while shaking uncontrollably, and its final one got it to shake violently enough to go flying right off the pillar it hung from before the Brigadier caught it.
