A moving-image reproducing apparatus determines whether one frame of a movie has the same image as that of the previous frame on the basis of the analysis of the movie, inputs compressed frame data about a frame that is not determined to have the same image as that of the previous frame into a decompressing unit, causes the image in the frame data decompressed by the decompressing unit to be displayed as at least one frame, and causes the compressed frame data about a frame that is determined to have the same image as that of the previous frame not to be input into the decompressing unit.
