Video: Apple TV+ Shares FROG & TOAD Trailer Based on Books

Apple TV+ TODAY released the trailer for "Frog and Toad," the highly anticipated animated kids and family series based on the beloved Caldecott and Newbery Honor-winning four-book series by Arnold Lobel, premiering on Friday, April 28.

Frog is a frog. Toad is a toad. They have a lot in common... but they are also very different. Frog and Toad are best friends who know that the true secret to friendship is not only enjoying the things you have in common, but embracing the things that make you different. Since our differences are what makes us special, Frog and Toad celebrate what makes them unique!
