'''''The Crazy Frog Movie''''' was a planned film based on the infamous ringtone character Crazy Frog, also known as The Annoying Thing. It was to be released in late 2008 but was dropped sometime in 2007 or 2008. Alongside the film's production, '''52 one-minute shorts''' were planned to be released via the internet and television to promote the film. The animation might have been done by Swedish animation company Kaktus Film, who also animated the Crazy Frog music videos from May 17th, 2005 to August 25th, 2009.
