Synopsis
Wartz has decided that from now on, he is going to be a monkey. Smooch and Winslow are excited to have him join them in their monkey ways, but Wartz runs into problems when he doesn't like their banana and tree sap breakfast and can't keep up as they swing around the World Tree. As a sad Wartz accepts that he can't become a monkey, Snook reminds the little frog that there are some very cool things about being an amphibian, and Smooch and Winslow arrive just in time to ask Wartz for some help. Since they've showed him what it's like to be a monkey, can he show them what it's like to be a tree frog?

Production notes
Same/Different Animal Characteristics- - We are all different in our own special way and have different abilities and ways of doing things.
The series uses Shadowmation, a technique combining puppetry, animatronics and computer-generated animation. The patented process utilizes real-time virtual sets and run raku-style team puppetry, integrating live-action animatronic characters and computer-generated animation in real-time, high-definition virtual environments.
Forty half-hour episodes are planned. Each episode contains two 15-minute segments.
On July 14, 2005, the Writers Guild of America, East went on strike against Big Big Productions, the producer of this series, for refusing to honor WGA minimum pay and standards. Writers picketed the company's Wainscott Studios on Long Island.
Despite having a budget of over $10 million dollars, the Guild alleged, producer Mitchell Kriegman wanted to cut writers' script rates by two-thirds of the WGA minimum payment for this type of show and insisted on virtually eliminating residual payments for six years.
