If Roddy is going to get home, he and Rita will need to escape the clutches of the villainous Toad, who royally despises all rodents and has dispatched two hapless henchrats, Spike and Whitey, as well as his cousin--that dreaded mercenary, Le Frog--to see that Roddy and Rita are iced, literally.

Since it says "literally", then it means they are either frozen or turned into ice.
"Literally" means that you're taking the exact meaning of the word or phrase. If someone said, "I drank so much coffee that I was bouncing off the walls, literally", then that means they were really bouncing off the walls, that they weren't just using that as an expression.
Edit: People here either don't know what "literally" means or they are skipping by that word. The expression (or slang term) means murdered, usually by someone who was hired to kill the person. It comes from the expression "being put on ice" because when a person died, in order to keep the body from rotting quickly it would be put in a cold room with ice or directly on the ice.
So the expression "iced" means they were murdered. But the paragraph states that they "are iced, literally". This means that you are supposed to take the literal meaning of the word "iced" and not the slang term. As I said, if they were "iced, literally", then it means they are either frozen or turned into ice.
