About

Crazy Frog: the myth, the phenomenon, the internet craze, the artist, the concept – the little creature you either love or hate. Originally sprung from the brilliantly twisted mind of our friend, colleague and former employee Erik Wernquist.

​

The Axel F clip marked Crazy Frog’s debut single and music video. In 2005, it didn’t just go viral, it took over the world. If you missed it, you were either not born or living on another planet.

 

Released in May 2005, the single – powered by the iconic video – shot straight to No. 1 in 23 countries. In the UK, it knocked Coldplay off the top spot. In France, it stayed at No. 1 for an incredible 15 weeks. Following the release, Kaktus Film received over 20 diamond, platinum and gold records worldwide.

 

The track was produced by Berlin-based duo Bass Bumpers, while the concept and video were entirely developed and produced by Kaktus Film – from initial idea and storyboard to full 3D animation.

 

Today, the official Crazy Frog YouTube channel has over 10 billion views (as of January 2025), 17 million subscribers and more than 5 million daily views. Don’t miss the latest music video: Hands Up (Explode), released Christmas 2024.
