I honestly believe Disney has really stepped up its game on animated shows. With the studio coming up with amazing new stories revolving around fantasy-adventure, there just might be hope for them on TV yet! Some animated shows of theirs have come and gone either forgotten or left on a high note, but where Gravity Falls and Star Vs. The Forces of Evil left off? Amphibia is culturally inviting with both lighthearted moments and diversity addressed too.

Enter Anne Boonchuy (voiced by Brenda Song), a thirteen year old Thai-American teen from LA who is transported along with two of her friends Sasha and Marcy to a mysterious world called Amphibia. A place inhabited by anthropomorphic frogs and toads. There, she is separated from her human friends but makes new friends in ten-year-old frog Sprig and his family, little sister Polly and grandfather Hop Pop (Goofy's Bill Farmer) in their home of Wartwood.

Brenda Song is an interesting choice in voicing Anne following the end of her sitcom Suite Life On Deck as she now follows the trail left behind by fellow sitcom costar Ashley Tisdale in voice acting. Anne does give off a hint of London Tipton vibes in some situations, but is a character that is her own. Upon viewing a sneak peek at San Diego Comic-Con in 2018, I used to think from the beginning this show is played more on whimsical misadventures for laughs. However, I had no clue it would get serious with the lore and a sinister plot building up as time moved forward in each episode.

I recommend it for those wanting a fix in fantasy-adventure. I can tell creator Matt Braly wanted to express his cultural roots through a cartoon show, but he sure made a story that isn't limited to comedy alone. There's depth explored in each of these characters and with world building on each place Anne and her adoptive frog family come across.

Just came out yet it's amazing, already addicted! can't wait for season 2, amazing show not gonna lie, great cast, Brenda Song!!!

What else to say? Humour - good, characters - good, the plot - good, animation - good.

Where can I start, right off the bat the show portrays it's mysterious and delightful vibe. Characters are great and idea is quite interesting and amusing, following the adventures of teen girl Anne as she finds her place in the dangerous yet exciting world of Amphibia. Animation is colorful and attractive, with great character development. You can understand the characters and their personalities even from the first episode which is a hard feat difficult to accomplish. Can't wait for more seasons and episodes to come out.

What can I say, another great show from Disney, like Gravity Falls and Svtfoe combined, with mystery and fun, this is sure a show you can enjoy. Can't wait for season 2!

One of the greatest shows out there, I love Anne and sprig, Spranne against the world!

I've watched many cartoons now, but none of them have stole my heart as quickly as Amphibia! When I first heard of the show, I was a bit skeptical, but by the first episode, I could tell I would love it! The show does a great job of world building. Amphibia is both beautiful and extremely weird and dangerous and it's wonderful! In general, the setting and backgrounds are so well done and give the show a beautiful look. The characters and plot are great as well. Even from the first episode, you can tell how much the Plantar family and Anne care about each other. They each have a distinct personality and engaging dynamics with one another. The show also has a great plot with lots of promise. There is a lot of mystery that will make you want to keep watching, like how Anne will get home, what's the music box, and what happened to Anne's friends.

Amazing, relly loved it wanna watch season 2 sooo bad amazing show!

I loved it, right from day 1, really want to see this win emmyes and go on to be something greater!

Initially I was indifferent to this show because of it's seemingly episodic nature as I found those episodes to be forgettable and filler-y but as it went on, around the season 1 finale, it got so very good. When the show focuses on the overarching plot, it is probably one of the best shows out there and that's what we get as it progresses especially in seasons 2 and 3.

The characters are some of the most likable and fun along with a wonderfully intriguing plot. I loved seeing their dynamics develop and change over time. The only complaint I have with the show is that the occasional filler episode is not as good in quality as the story focused ones but that was more of a problem in season 1 and seems to be disappearing as we move along.

All this show has to do now is stick the landing and it can become a 10/10 pretty easily as season 3 is turning out to be the best so far and I hope for even better things to come. However, the threat of cancellation or being cut short always looms over shows these days so I'm going to stay cautiously optimistic for the future.

I loved Star vs. the Forces of Evil, but then I really hated how it ended. Now I am glad we have this new show on Disney Channel to watch to fill in the hole! Because Ashley Tisdale from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody got to star in the animated Disney Channel series Phineas and Ferb, I'm glad that Brenda Song also got to have a turn with that a decade after The Suite Life of Zack and Cody ended. By an amazing coincidence, I noticed that this show started one day after the reboot of The Powerpuff Girls ended, and Amanda Leighton, the new actress for Blossom from that show, voices Polly in Amphibia. Clearly the only good thing about that reboot series was that it gave new voice actresses some experience for better parts in original series going forward.

Anne Boonchuy opens a strange treasure chest which takes her, Sasha and Marcy to Amphibia. She becomes friends with the Plantar family after Spring Plantar saves her from the other frogs of Wartwood. While helping the Plantar family deal with their everyday problems in Wartwood and going on strange adventures with them, she wants to find Sasha and Marcy. By the end of the first episode, we know where Sasha is, but we have yet to see Marcy by the end of Season 1. I am happy that Disney Channel gave Amphibia a second season before the first premiered because they don't want it to be another 1-season show-much like Dave the Barbarian or The Buzz on Maggie, especially because I am 100% sure we will find Marcy in Season 2. If there is a Season 3, they could finally figure out how Anne, Sasha and Marcy can leave Amphibia.

Maybe I have higher standards because I don't know cartoons often but I don't think little kids are on IMDB so people who are giving this a 10 are a little overrating. It gets boring at points but overall it's good.

My opinion after the first season, for the record: This show has a lot of potential, and quite a few wonderful things about it. I really love the whole main cast; each character is quirky yet relatable. Hop-hops is a kind old grandpa figure, sprig bounces up and down like a maniac, Polly is sweet yet wants to smash all the grown people, and Anne... Anne is the glue that holds everything together, pulling the viewers feel into the world with her own delightful charisma. The world building is distinctive, the animation smooth and striking, and there are a couple of pretty solid minor characters who actually feel fleshed out. Oh, and there are some wonderful 4th wall breaks, too. However, I feel that sometimes the plot can be a bit too cut and dry, and I really think it'd be good if they went to having full 22 minute episodes so that they could swap between characters and really develop some nice arcs, sorta like Gravity Falls. That way, every episode wouldn't have to be episodic (like infinity train), and there could be room for more than one concurrent plot. All in all, I think it's a solid show that has buckets of potential, and I'm really curious to see where it'll go next.

Amphibia is an amazing show. It has great storytelling, humor to make you laugh each episode along with the likeable characters. The show feels one of a kind and has great music. The show steadily builds up so you can get a feel of the characters while introducing some mystery to keep interested. The season one finale was great and I look forward to seeing how they top it in season two's finale.

After watching the first episode I was entranced by the beautiful animation, story line, characters and plot. Really looking forward to season 2, one of the greatest shows out there.

One of the best shows out there, love every episode. Offers something fresh and new compared to the animated mature trash filling the markets today. Thank you Disney!

Absolutely great, loved it from the first episode!

Rich storytelling, great cast and a must watch, really hyped for season 2!

If you're a fan of Gravity Falls and Star vs. the Forces of Evil, then you'll love this show. It has the humor of both shows, the mystery of Gravity Falls, the wonder of SVTFOE, but it's its own type of special. I definitely recommend fans to watch it and fall in love. If you're suffering from extreme Gravity Falls and SVTFOE withdrawal, then definitely watch this!!!!!

One of the best shows that ever came up from Disney...if you love Gravity falls or Paranormal this is a great cartoon for you

I don't think there was on episode I just sat there bored waiting for the next one. The characters are relateable and most importantly there not boring!! So 10/10.

This show is awesome and in hope it doesn't turn out like star as star's finale was horrible.

Honestly, Amphibia proves to be one of the best shows ever, I love the plots and music honestly its literally great!
