2024 Update!:
A couple days ago, I was finally able to get a hold of some footage of the full Old Croaker show after 4 years! It can be shared since I have permission (and there's no legal ownership issues with it as far as Larry Nikolai knows), but life's been keeping me busy as of right now so I can't post it. I do have it saved on a google drive so if anyone's interested in seeing the full show, shoot me a message!
Bullfrog Bayou Revue
This is my first time doing a post about an animatronic show so here goes :)
Back in March, one of my good friends in the Tales of the Okefenokee discord told me about a animatronic frog show that used to be around back in the early 80s called Bullfrog Bayou Revue. From what I've heard, there was 3 shows that were sold. One at Six Flags over Georgia, another one at a Pizza Parlour in California and the last one at AVG as a demo tool. There is existing footage of the show on YouTube from a AVG Promo reel by XOR Gates (And was also from the AVG website) so I'll share it here (If the time stamp on the promo video doesn't work, just go to 2:11)
https://youtu.be/xKvn2lY5FVA?t=131
Anyway, the animatronics were made from latex foam so they did run into technical issues (like for example, one of the characters mouths wouldn't move) and eventually, they got removed in 2003 due to the cost of maintaining them and longevity issues so who knows where they are now...
Here are some photos of the show that I'll share. Remember, these photos do not belong to me. They belong to AVG Productions
This is Polly-Wog, or just called Polly by her Uncle (Voiced by Tress MacNeille)
This is Uncle Rolly (Voiced by Hal Smith)
This is Tad-Pole, or just called Tad by his Uncle and his Git-turtle Wilbur (Voiced by Alan Oppenheimer and Jack Angel)
Sculptures of the frogs done by Mark Bryan Wilson
Concept art of the stage and a real photo of the stage and the animatronic frogs
And a poster with the frogs
There is also existing audio from the show that was also uploaded to YouTube by XOR Gates
https://youtu.be/Lh1VRzjIrZM
So far, this is the only sound track of the show that was shared (There is a Old Croaker show as well, but cannot be shared to the public at the moment). There might be more in the future, who knows?

Hi! Just learned about Bullfrog Bayou Revue at SFOG. Was wondering if you knew the specific location of the show in the park? I can't seem to find it anywhere!
Hey there!
Hm... I'm not 100% sure where the show could've been specifically located in the park but from what I remember in a comment from Storybook Amusement's video on the show (the picture below), it could've been next to where the Bugs Bunny Theatre is. I assume it's somewhere in Bugs Bunny Boomtown aka Bugs Bunny World, but I haven't been to SFOG in a few years so I'm not 100% sure and I could be wrong 😅. Hope it answers your question though

I gave this old Chelsea piece from a few years ago a redo last night after watching Chicken Run for the 1 billionth time. And I drew her as a chicken this time! (It was mostly inspired by @ jackandsally312's chicken design of Chelsea 🙂)
Chelsea on an aerial hoop :v
Hey, what’s up guys it’s scarce here. Jk lol, that meme is probably dead 😂 *ahem* anyway, i decided to do some digital art of my Chicken Run oc Chelsea on an aerial hoop since she used to be in the circus with Rocky. So here it is right here :v

Ginger and Rocky
Haven't shared much art on here anymore, so excuse me while I share some I did of my two favorite chakons (If you couldn't tell, I was attempting the coloring book styles of them which kinda explains why I didn't make certain things too accurate to their movie counterparts.) Also, a lovely reminder this was my first time drawing Rocky lol
I'm totally not coming back to my Chicken Run phase bc of the announcement of Dawn of the Nugget-

2022 update y'all!:
Old Croaker and the Showboat show audio has been up on YouTube on Brer fox's channel, go check those out if you'd like! Apparently there's audio of a Birthday show, but I'm not sure when that'll be shared. There's also new footage of Uncle Rolly and Tad as well, which you can find on Animatronic Clay Guy's YouTube channel! (Forgot to mention that my friend told me a few months ago that the frogs are out there in storage somewhere!)
