A new animated show based on the children’s books will debut this spring. According to Deadline, Nat Faxon (Elfo on Disenchantment) and Kevin Michael Richardson (Nu Hibbert on The Simpsons) will be voicing Frog and Toad respectively. Additional voices will be provided by Ron Funches (Harley Quinn), Fortune Feimster (Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar), Cole Escola (Search Party), Aparna Nancherla (Corporate), John Hodgman (Dicktown), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), Stephen Tobolowsky (One Day at a Time), Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants), Selene Luna (Coco), Margaret Cho (Fire Island) and Betsy Sodaro (Bob’s Burgers).
