Premise
editThe series chronicles the adventures ofAnne Boonchuy(Brenda Song), an independent, fearless and braveThai-Americangirl.[12]On her 13th birthday, Anne is peer-pressured into stealing a mysterious music box known as the Calamity Box that magically transports her and her two best friends Sasha Waybright (Anna Akana) and Marcy Wu (Haley Tju) to the world of Amphibia, a wildmarshlandtropical islandinhabited byanthropomorphicamphibiansand threatening creatures, where they are separated from each other. Anne is taken in by the Plantars, a family of frogs consisting of excitable young Sprig (Justin Felbinger); unpredictable and adventurous baby pollywog Polly (Amanda Leighton); and overprotective and traditional grandfather Hop Pop (Bill Farmer) who live on a farm in the town of Wartwood. As she bonds with her newfound family, Anne gradually learns what it means to be a hero and develop a true friendship, while trying to find her friends and return home. Sasha allies with Captain Grime (Troy Baker), leader of the warfaring toads of Toad Tower, who seek to control their home of Frog Valley.[13]
In the second season, Anne and the Plantars go on a road trip to Newtopia to learn the secrets of the Calamity Box and find a way to get Anne home. There, Anne reunites with Marcy, who offers to help restore the box's power through a series of ancient trials, unaware that Amphibia's ruler, King Andrias (Keith David), secretly has plans for them. Meanwhile, Sasha and Grime plot to invade Newtopia and overthrow themonarch,allowing the toads to rule over Amphibia.
In the third and final season, Anne and the Plantars are transported to Anne's home in thesuburbsofDowntown Los Angeles,where she must now help them adjust to the human world and keep their identities a secret while searching for a way to return to Amphibia and stop Andrias'sinvasionof themultiverse.Upon returning, they discover Sasha and Grime have formed a resistance force in Wartwood and aid them in their rebellion against Andrias, who is using Marcy as a host for his master, a multi-eyed artificial intelligence entity known as the Core.
Episodes
editProduction
editDevelopment
editOn February 19, 2018,Amphibiawas greenlit by Disney Channel alongsideThe Owl Housewith an order of 20 episodes.[6]The series was created and executive-produced byMatt Braly,previously a storyboard artist onGravity Fallsand later a director on bothGravity FallsandBig City Greens.According to his Twitter account, he had been working on the series for almost two years before being greenlit,[14]though he began to conceive the project while work onGravity Fallsbegan to conclude.[15]Matt had been developing the series with prototype designs of the protagonists in early 2015.[16]
On May 15, 2019, Disney Channel renewedAmphibiafor a second season of 20 episodes ahead of its premiere.[17][18][3]
On June 23, 2020, the show was renewed for a third season of 18 episodes ahead of its second-season premiere.[17]In a Reddit AMA, Braly referred toAmphibiaas a "three-act story" with season two as the "2nd act".[19]He further clarified in the AMA that he had "structured the story for 3 [seasons] currently", implying that the third season would serve as the final season of the show.[19][20]Later on March 16, 2022, storyboard artist Alex Swanson confirmed onTwitterthat season 3 was set to be the show's last.[21]
Writing
editThe show was based on Braly's childhood trips toBangkok,Thailand.[22]The series' tone was inspired by films byAardman AnimationsandStudio Ghibli,[22][15]while its storytelling format was inspired byGravity Falls(which Braly previously worked on) andSteven Universe.[23]Braly was also inspired by video games such asThe Legend of ZeldaandChrono Triggerwhen creating the series.[4]Other inspirations for the series include shows Braly watched in his childhood, such asBatman: The Animated Seriesand Disney'sGargoyles;he precisely citedGargoylesas an inspiration for the series' story arc.[24]According to Braly, one of the reasons he created the series was because he wanted a show whose lead character had a similar arc toGravity Fallscharacter Pacifica Northwest, as he felt that "to have this character change so drastically was so rewarding, and that's why [he] knew [he] wanted [his] own show to have some of that element as well".[22]The character of Sprig went through several changes through development, with the developers constantly giving him different ages, before choosing to make the character a younger brother-like figure for Anne.[25]Similarly, Anne, Sasha, and Marcy were originally fifteen-years-old because they wanted the series to have a high school-like feel, but were aged down in order to appeal to the series' target demographic; due to this, the trio often realizes actions more akin to high school students, such as driving and having part-time jobs.[26]
The series marks the first animated show to have a Thai-American lead.[15]Braly, who is also Thai-American, chose to make the series lead character,Anne Boonchuy,Thai-American because he wanted more Thai characters in television series.[27]According to Braly, Anne was loosely inspired by his grandmother.[22]He described Anne being Thai-American as "a number one priority", as he wanted Thai-American kids to see themselves reflected on television.[15]Braly also made the character dark-skinned due to his mother's family being tanned.[28]Season 3, which is set on Earth, further delves into Anne's Thai heritage, including an episode set at aWatThai temple in Los Angeles. Braly described the temple's representation in the episode as "pretty accurate", as it is important for him to represent Thai culture accurately.[26]
Braly chose to make the series to be centered around a frog-populated world because he felt that, due to how frogs change from tadpoles to frogs, they were perfect for the series' theme of change.[29]Braly also implemented themes involving social classes and environmental awareness into the series, with Anne interacting with frogs of several different social backgrounds and learning to "appreciate the natural world around her".[28]
Three of the series' four writers are women, which Braly felt necessary due to the show centering on a teenage girl.[22]Storyboard artists are allowed to pitch their ideas for an episode, a practice Braly took from his time atGravity Falls.[22]Braly wanted the series to feature intense sequences, yet still being appropriate for all ages, constantly checking-in whether a scene is too terrifying for children and whether a scene is what it's intended to be.[25]
Casting and voice recording
editOn March 27, 2019, it was revealed thatBrenda Songwould star in the series as the voice ofAnne Boonchuy.[30]In April 2019, it was reported that Justin Felbinger would voice Sprig Plantar in the series.[18]On May 15, 2019, it was reported thatAmanda LeightonandBill Farmerjoined the cast as the voices of Polly and Hopediah "Hop Pop" Plantar, respectively.[18]Over 50 actresses auditioned for the role of Anne, includingAnna AkanaandHaley Tju.While the role ultimately went to Song, Braly cast Akana and Tju as Anne's human friends, Sasha and Marcy respectively, instead.[19][17]According to Braly, certain roles were written with a specific actor in mind, such as King Andrias, who is voiced byKeith David.[19]
Muppet performerMatt Vogel(asKermit the Frog) made an appearance in the season 2 episode "Swamp and Sensibility".[31]However, Kermit himself (whom Vogel performed since 2017) was credited for the role in promotional material;[32]Kermit previously appeared in two promotional web videos for the series,[33][34]as well as in aD23 Expopanel promoting both the series andBig City Greens.[35]
Voice actressAnika Noni Rose,best known for starring as Tianna inThe Princess and the Frog,was cast in the recurring guest role of Dr. Jan, a museum curator and conspiracy theorist.[36][37]
According to Braly, Song ad libbed several jokes during recording.[38]Similarly,Alex Hirschimprovised several lines for his appearance in the season two episode "Wax Museum".[39]During theCOVID-19 pandemic,cast members had to remotely record their lines from their homes, after which they sent their lines to the series' editors.[40]
Animation
editRough Draft Korea,Sunmin Image Pictures,andSaeromeach provide animation. Braly chose those animation studios due to them still working withhand-drawn animation,a style Braly favored for the series.[41]The animators spend three to four months working on pre-production, with an episode taking about nine months to complete.[22]Forty staff members atWalt Disney StudiosinBurbank, Californiaalso worked on the series.[22]
James Turner, a British illustrator most well known for his work on thePokémonseries of games (having created several Pokémon designs and worked as theart directorforPokémon Sword and Shield), provided artwork during the initial stages of the project.[42]The series' visuals were inspired byJim Henson's 1982 filmThe Dark Crystaland the1977 animated adaptationofThe Hobbit.[22]The series' environments were also inspired by natural settings.[38]According to Braly, storyboarding for an episode begins after its script is finished.[41]Braly said that the different character designs for Anne and Marcy, in spite of both characters having Asian backgrounds, were because the producers "never wanted to be trapped into a character design just because of what people might think an Asian person 'should' look like in a cartoon", as the characters "are representations of folks, not caricatures".[19]
By March 24, 2020,Disney Television Animationwas closed in response to theCOVID-19 pandemic,with work on the series continuing remotely.[43]By that point, the producers had started storyboarding the season 2 finale, while other episodes were only partially completed.[44]
Music
editT. J. Hill composed the score for the series.[45]During production on the series, Leslie Wolfhard, wife of storyboard artist Steve Wolfhard, pitched to the producers a song, which they ended up using in the season 1 episode "Taking Charge".[46]On July 23, 2020, Hill created aSoundCloudplaylist featuring 10 tracks from the first season's score.[47]
A song titled "Welcome to Amphibia", performed by Celica Gray Westbook, was originally intended to serve as the series' theme song.[48]However, the song was later discarded in favor of an instrumental theme.[49]According to Braly, "Welcome to Amphibia" was written due to orders from Disney, but he eventually convinced the studio to use an instrumental theme instead, as he felt it didn't fit with the show or its main character.[49]
Hyper Potions composed a new version of the instrumental opening for the show's first "Theme Song Takeover" video.[4]A third version of the opening, with lyrics by writer Dan Siegel, was written for the second "Theme Song Takeover" video.[4]
The first-season finale, "Reunion", features the song "Lean on Me"byBill Withers.Braly said that he constantly listened to the song while developing the relationship between Anne, Marcy, and Sasha, so, when work began on "Reunion", Braly chose to use the song for the scene in which Sasha tries to sacrifice herself.[50]
On April 23, 2021, anextended playalbum, titledAmphibia: Battle of the Bands,was released.[51]The album features the songs "Heartstomper", written by T.J. Hill and performed by Akana, and "No Big Deal", written by Adam Gubman and performed by Song, Akana, and Tju, as well as instrumental covers of both songs by Hill, Todd McClintock and Adam Gubman, respectively.[52][51][53]
Season three featured a Christmas special with a song titled "Our Special Time of Year", which was written byRebecca SugarofSteven Universefame; Braly previously served as a writer and storyboard artist in theSteven Universeepisode "Lars and the Cool Kids".[54]
The third-season episode, "All In",features the song"As If It's Your Last"by South Korean girl group,Blackpink.
Marketing
editOn July 19, 2018, during theStar vs. the Forces of EvilandBig City Greenspanel atSan Diego Comic-Con,Disney released an early version of the intro for the series.[55]They also gave away a limited-edition plush toy of Sprig Plantar.
On April 26, 2019, Disney FanFest released a music video for a vocal version of the opening theme titled ″Welcome to Amphibia″ performed by Celica Gray Westbrook[48]and a two-minute clip[56]during a livestream.[57]It was originally planned to be used as the show's theme song.[58]
On May 14, 2019, Disney Channel released the trailer,[59]with Disney Channel releasing the final version of the intro 3 days later.[60]
Amphibiaalso included shorts and a point and click game namedAmphibia: Locust Pocus.[61]The shorts began withTeen Girl in a Frog Worldand premiered on September 3, 2019.[62]
Reception
editCritical reception
editCommon Sense Media's Emily Ashby rated the show 4 out of 5 stars and praised the series for its characters and themes, writing that "Sprig and Anne's adventures are a joy to behold, mostly thanks to their delightfully compatible personalities and the sweet friendship that develops between them" and that "the story illustrates issues likebullyingandemotional manipulationin ways that will resonate with kids and tweens and can prompt discussions about the topics ".[63]Bekah Burbank ofLaughingPlace.compraised the series' ability to balance its humor and its terror elements, as well as its pacing, characters, and animation, stating that "Amphibiais clever and goofy with plenty of jokes to keep kids laughing and just enough scary content to hold their attention. The show moves quickly and is broken into two 11-minute episodes that, at least for the premiere, form one complete chapter. The animation is bouncy and colorful and the characters are a delight ".[11]Collider's Dave Trumbore gave the series' first two episodes a 4 stars rating, feeling that they "[served] as a great introduction to the series".[10]
