Dealing with a show like "Tijuana Toads" in 2016 is a tricky situation. Obviously, this isn't a new production, with episodes released from 1969 to 1972, capturing a time when racial and cultural sensitivities weren't exactly a priority to the entertainment business. Indeed, the animated shorts from the DePatie-Freleng Studio aren't exactly kind in their depiction of Mexicans and Asians, and it takes extra effort to look beyond dated attitudes, but there's a highly amusing series that's worth a look for those who are up to the challenge of a viewing while keeping the production era in mind. After all, this is a rare opportunity to watch two silly frogs embark on a prolonged quest for survival, avoiding danger and each other's stupidity along the way. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
