This early silent era film also known as "La Grenouille" in France was released in 1908 and directed/created by Segundo De Chomon. It follows a magical frog and a young woman whom upon climbing unto a fountain rock turns into a large frog, two very strange heads. then she reappears with several other people draped in gowns, flowers and eventually on horses. A rather unusual film for the era.

Segundo Víctor Aurelio Chomón y Ruiz (17 October 1871, Teruel, Aragon - 2 May 1929) was a pioneering Spanish film director. He produced many short films in France while working for Pathé Frères and has been compared to Georges Méliès, due to his frequent camera tricks and optical illusions.
