About the project
Motorized Frog Squad is an anti-war film that, alongside its timeless theme of futile warfare, destruction, suffering, and war profiteering, also addresses modern-day issues such as mass media, artificial intelligence, and algorithms that dictate what we watch, read, listen to, and like.
Set in a dystopian universe, the story unfolds as the frogs of Northern Toadstool launch an ambitious invasion of Vanity Cloud, a planet ruled by media conglomerates that have enslaved the masses with exorbitant subscription fees. Yet, behind the spectacle of war lies a labyrinth of political conspiracies, shadowy profiteers, and the unexpected rise of a young emo misfit who transforms into a legendary warrior.
The film is currently in the animation production stage. Its completion is planned for early 2026.
The film is inspired by motifs from the song Motorized Frog Squad by the band Moon Unit.
Although initially conceived as a short animated film, this short film is actually part of a larger series project. The ultimate goal is to create an animated series Age of Goyang, based on motifs from Moon Unit's songs from their 2021 album Differences in Language and Lifestyle.
Motorized Frog Squad is supported by the Croatian Audiovisual Centre and the City of Koprivnica.
