" The Jim Henson Company has announced a Frog and Toad movie. The Muppets owners have acquired the rights to the popular children&amp;#039;s series.  An animated feature will be adapted from Arnold Lobel&amp;#039;s four illustrated books, which were originally published in the 1970s. &amp;quot;Frog and Toad has tremendous value with parents who read these charming stories when they were children and are now sharing them with their own kids,&amp;quot; said Lisa Henson, CEO of The Jim Henson Company. &amp;quot;With such high-calibre talent on board, the delightful and funny adventures of these two great friends - with a nod to the classic &amp;#039;buddy movie&amp;#039; - will bring a whole new audience to their big-screen debut.&amp;quot; Hoodwinked writer/director Cory Edwards, who is also penning the Fraggle Rock film, is attached to helm the project. Craig Bartlett, veteran of kids&amp;#039; shows including Dinosaur Train, Sid The Science Kid and Hey Arnold!, is working on the script. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
