Trivia

  • Grundel was voiced by the late Joe Lynch in his final film after, his retirement that same year and his death in 2001.
  • Grundel is the eldest of Mrs. Toad's sons of the film Thumbelina.
  • His name is similar to Grendel from the Beowulf story only more into the humor and on a play.
  • He is also considered someone confused and not sure if he's in love with somebody.
  • He is similar to the main villain of Better Off Dead and is often considered a bully.
  • In one book, Grundel and Berkeley are shown to have fought Cornelius, until they give up and run away. This is different from the movie, in which the toad bashes the beetle's head in, and eventually tumbles off the tunnel bridge to his doom, taking the prince with him.
