Freddy Frogface (Danish: Orla Frøsnapper) is a 2011 Danish 3D animated comedy film directed by Peter Dodd, and based on the book Orla Frøsnapper by Ole Lund Kirkegaard. It was later dubbed into English and was released in several other countries.

Plot

The story follows Victor, a 10-year-old boy who lives in a small sleepy town, where he and his dog Sausage spend the summer pulling pranks on adults. He usually hangs out with his best friend Jacob and his cousin, Claire, who recently moved into town. Despite this, he constantly gets picked on and beaten up by Freddy, the town bully, who is considered the meanest kid in town. After an altercation, Victor ends up embarrassing Freddy in public after he puts a frog in his mouth, which ends up giving Freddy the nickname "Freddy Frogface". Around the same time, the circus comes to town, and Victor tries his best to train Sausage for a big act he's planning for. Unknown to him however, Freddy secretly follows him and tries to steal his act.
