[edit] Summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Limpy is a partially squashed cane toad who lives in a quiet swamp. He is disappointed to know that cane toads around the world are being squashed by careless drivers. Limpy wants to find out why humans hate cane toads so much, and why they go out of their way to squish his family. He and his dumb cousin Goliath set out on a journey to stop cane toad squashing. On his journey, Limpy finds out that games called the "Olympics" are being played in Sydney. Limpy enters the gates of the Olympic Games and finds a sweet girl who saves him from being squashed. Limpy finally finds a way to protect his family from the terror of the highway. Soon, Limpy's plan prevails, and cane toads everywhere (well...almost everywhere) are safe again.
