I think this is the funniest documentary I have ever seen. I've played to the students in my Biol classes and they love it!! Especially the cane toad humping the flat, squashed dead cane toad in the middle of the road!

We watched the movie in Zoology and the Biology Society at Adelaide Uni and it's very funny!  The opening scene with the VW Combi sets the tone for the whole MV and the little girl who puts a toad in a dolly dress is a real scream.  :bouncegiggle: so i give it a  :thumbup: and say everyone should  get a view of it :cheers:

The Horror of the Cane Toad marches on:

"The poisonous toad is responsible for killing native animals from snakes to small crocodiles."
If you're an Andy Milligan fan there's no hope for you.

I saw this thing on Yahoo News as well.  That is a fig bucking toad.  One has to wonder how long it will take for SciFi to put out a movie about huge cane toads eating a bunch of annoying teenagers on spring break in Australia.

Just where do you get this bad boy? I sure don't think Blockbuster would have a clue.

Andrew : For God's sake, don't give them creeps any ideas! Let the Tremors team do it....then i'll want to see dat!

Lived a few misspent years of my youth in Tully; memories of mashing cane toads in the church yard next door.  Got in great trouble later for the stink of death!  Will have to share the film with my brothers over the holidays. :twirl:

The fact that my professor before starting the movie said, "this movie selection is highly recommended stoned" told me right away this movie was ridiculous...
My fav. part is the old man getting emotional about them as friends, and the old lady looking up to the ceiling to gather herself before talking about her bond with her "mates", the Cane Toads.
:thumbup:

I wish I remembered the name of another movie I saw in my Biological Invasions course...it's a Matrix vibe about invasive species where this girl travels back to when animal and plant life existed...because she is the only one in society who can see life other than their underground bunker in her dreams...she meets a black ecologist man and decides to throw the traveling glass away and live forever in the past...
It's some University movie that won awards...if ANYONE knows the name of it please let me know!

This movie was badass.

Saw this more than a decade ago...will never forget little girl playing with the toad like a doll.

We had significantly smaller toads as science class pets who would only pee rather than poison anyone, but who were also quite the little lovers. The act would actually trigger a series of quick high-pitched chirps from the toads, a look of disbelief almost too stunning for laughter from the students.

I too saw this movie in science.
I plan to download it and get baked and watch it again!

A friend tracked it down for me.
All who watch it love it...they can't believe what they've seen mind you... :bouncegiggle:
