Feature length theatrical adaptation of Jim Henson's 1989 special. Milton, a golden toad, is desperately searching a mate, yet no female answers his call. He is lonely and begins to fear that his call will never attract a mate. As the animals begin to fill the rainforest with their beautiful music, two humans (which the animals call "Uprights") enter the rainforest. The two humans are scientists, who are in search of a male golden toad and hope to capture a male of the endangered species in hopes of preserving it from extinction, and when the forest creatures overhear the two scientists and learn about the fate of Milton's species they all begin to worry about his fate as well. The "uprights" continue their quest to capture a male golden toad, in hope to take him back to their lab. They use a female, locked in a cage, to attract the male. Milton detects the scent of a female golden toad. He follows it only to encounter traps that the "uprights" have laid. Milton doesn't know what to do. Should he attempt to free the captive female? Should he continue to sing his song to attract a mate? Or should he remain silent as to not tip off the "uprights" to his presence?
