A cartoon should always raise a question of viewability with a responsible parent. This rule does not bypass any cartoon creation, whether it is widely known through advertising, or recognizable only by a bright poster and the previous part. The latter include the new adventure of the frog princess and her friends.

Plot description

In a beautiful and peaceful corner of nature, where streams are filled with clean clear water, and trees have grown to the very sky, there is a frog kingdom. Life here went on as usual, until the mystery of the crystal frog surfaced - an ancient artifact that supported the life of the kingdom for many centuries. A group of dangerous bandits - the "Terrible Four" - led by the frog One-Eyed set off to hunt for an artifact.

A squad of frogs was sent to protect the relic, led by Rain, the fiancé of Princess Jackie, who ran away before the wedding, and who joins the squad without the consent of her father, the king. It is clear that the king cannot leave his daughter indanger, and therefore sends his close frogs after her, who soon unite with the detachment of the main characters into one company of artifact rescuers. During the journey, the frogs will not only have to overcome the tricks of One-Eyed and his gang, but also go through the endless desert, ice halls, fight the artifact guard, and, of course, find out the relationship between them.

Genre component

The cartoon "The Frog Princess: The Secret of the Magic Room", the description and reviews of which directly hint at the predominance of the children's family genre, was indeed created exclusively for a children's audience.

• comedy - light Chinese humor in the dialogues, events and habits of frogs, sometimes understandable only to people accustomed to the Eastern type of thinking;
• adventure - the change of events and twists in the cartoon more than enough;
• action movie is too loud a genre for a cartoon, but you can't throw out unexpected shootouts and eternal chase of characters after each other.

Be that as it may, most viewers decided to remain silent regarding the animatedThe Frog Princess: The Secret of the Magic Room. Reviews did not play a too negative role in the attendance of the cartoon in cinemas, given the quality of its script and the minimum accompanying advertising.
