Cane Toads: An Unnatural History (1988) is a 47-minute documentary film about the introduction of Cane Toads to Australia. Cane Toads were introduced to Australia with the aim of controlling a sugar cane pest, but they over-multiplied and became a problem in the Australian ecosystem. The film was directed by Mark Lewis. It is often humorous, and is used in high schools and colleges as a complement to curricula in biology, ecology, environmental science, and geography.

The film includes Don Spencer, a popular children's entertainer, singing "Warts 'n' All" to accompany scenes of children playing with cane toads.

The film is distributed in the United States by First Run Features.
