Production[]
Amphibia was created by Matt Braly, previously a storyboard artist on Gravity Falls and later a director on both Gravity Falls and Big City Greens. According to his Twitter account, he had been working on the series for almost two years before being greenlit.[1] The show was based on Braly's childhood trips to Bangkok, Thailand.
James Turner, a British illustrator most well known for his work on the Pokémon series of games (having created several Pokémon designs and worked as the art director for Pokémon Sword and Shield), provided artwork during the initial stages of the project.
On February 23, 2018, Amphibia was greenlit by Disney Channel alongside The Owl House.[2]
On March 27, 2019, it was revealed that Brenda Song would return to Disney as the voice of Anne Boonchuy.[3]
On May 15, 2019, Disney Channel renewed Amphibia for a second season ahead of its premiere.[4][5]
Rough Draft Korea, SMIP, and Saerom each provide animation, and takes about nine months for each episode to be complete.
On June 23, 2020, the show was renewed for a third season ahead of its second season premiere.[6] It was premiered on October 2, 2021.[7]
Trivia[]
- This is the first time Brenda Song had starred in a Disney Channel production since the ending of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody sequel, The Suite Life on Deck in 2011.
- Coincidentally, Song guest starred in Miles from Tomorrowland, another show that Justin Felbinger appeared, voicing Felbinger's character Miles Callisto's aunt, Frida Liang.
- Amphibia is one of the few non-action cartoons to have a human character animated with five fingers. The anthropomorphic amphibians having four fingers makes sense since real-life amphibians have four digits on their hands.
- The episode title cards depict a wood carving in darkness lit up with the title superimposed over it. This is an actual wood carving that is photographed and reused every episode.
