May Muddy Mudskipper from the Ren and Stimpy TV series be a reference to One Froggy Evening?

I'm wondering why Steven Spielberg compares One Froggy Evening to Citizen Kane.

[edit] Inspirations

Anybody know which African myth was an influence on One Froggy Evening? -- Logotu 16:59, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe the reference to such a myth was, in itself, a myth. Baseball Bugs 17:58, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

It concerns a speaking (and silent) skull. Nigerian? A version is somewhere on the Internet. This isn't very helpful I know. "An inverted cycle of tales about a skull that refused to talk occurs in several African and African American traditions, commonly titled 'The Talking Skull Refuses to Talk'", say Dov Noy et al. in Folktales of the Jews (Chjapter "The Rabbi Who Was Tricked" p. 31).

Not only was I not hallucinating, but many moons ago I got the gist of the Yoruba tale into Skull (symbolism). --Wetman (talk) 02:42, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't know much about that subject. I'll have to bone up on it. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 02:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
