Frog and Wombat is a 1998 independent children's film written and directed by Laurie Agard, about two 12-year-old girls who investigate a murder in their hometown, which they believe was committed by the middle school principal. Their investigations become more and more involved, to the point where they sneak into the principal's car and hide in it to reach his house. As the two get closer to discovering the truth, the principal kidnaps one of the girls.
The title derives from the nicknames the girls use over a walkie-talkie, as they refer to themselves and each other as "Frog" and "Wombat".
Synopsis
Allison et Jane sont deux amies espiègle à qui rien n'échappe. Avec leurs vélos et leurs talkie-walkie, elles quadrillent leur quartier à l'affût du moindre ragot. Quand le nouveau principal du collège s'installe dans leur rue, c'est l'effervescence. Un soir, elle voit la nouvelle directrice de son école traîner un énorme sac jusqu'au coffre de sa voiture et le soulever avec difficulté. Contiendrait-il le corps de sa nièce qui a mystérieusement disparu? Intimement convaincue de la culpabilité de la nouvelle venue, Allison se lance dans une longue et délicate enquête, afin de tirer cette mystérieuse affaire au clair. Véritable petite détective, Allison est à la recherche du moindre indice qui pourrait la mettre sur la voie. Mais cette soudaine obsession n'est pas sans contrarier Jane, la meilleure amie d'Allison, qui ne voit pas d'un très bon oeil cette dangereuse obstination.Actors
