107 Amphibia Facts You Should Know | Channel Frederator

107 facts about amphibia with an overwhelming amount of requests after the one of seven facts you should know about the owl house we decided that gathering facts about amphibia was a good idea after all with its similar popularity how could we pass up an opportunity to take a deep dive into an interesting show be warned though spoilers ahead for the first two seasons so without further ado i'm adrian and these are 107 facts you should know about amphibia number one the wood carving at the start of every episode isn't an animated element but a real photographed wood carving with the title superimposed on it number two matt brownlee similar to dana terrace started his career at disney working on gravity falls even though he had already worked at dreamworks and shorts hd prior number three in fact bradley won an annie award for the episode of gravity falls that he directed number four brenda song who voices anne boone choi has spent a lot of her youth working at disney but then took an almost decade long break from the company until taking up this role similar to how i haven't voiced the frederator video in almost a year or two number five and rather fitting and is of thai american descent just like song herself number six in fact and is the first lead ever in an animated show to be of thai descent number seven something that can even be seen in the show's intro is that anne's weapon of choice is frequently a tennis racket this is likely because she used to be in her high school's tennis varsity number eight anne is also quite skilled at cooking and chopping food number nine again rather appropriate given that her parents own a restaurant called ty go number 10 she has a talent and willingness for breaking up relationships on the behalf of her friends to the extent that she garnered the nicknames the breakup queen and the angel of death number 11 originally anne was going to be a very different character and would be much more boring before coming to amphibia the creators changed this fairly early on in the show and instead based her among others on pacifica northwest from gravity falls number 12 and another inspiration for anne was apparently matt browley's grandmother from back when she had been a little girl number 13 anne's last name boonchoy roughly translates to one who performs good deeds which is rather fitting number 14. anne's cat domino is based on and named after matt browley's cat number 15. in season 2 she's revealed to have a deep-seated hatred for plays after she accidentally set a stage on fire when she was young number 16 it takes 12 episodes for us to actually see anne with clean hair outside of the intro number 17. what's worse it's only in episode 57 that anne herself realizes the leaves are stuck in her hair not that it really matters given that the leaves are still stuck in her hair in the following episodes number 18 prior to the events of the show anne was grossed out by frogs something that her friend sasha used to caesar with quite a lot number 19 speaking of frogs let's talk about a few of them starting with sprig at the start of the show many of the villagers think of him as a strange frog boy but their affection for him slowly shifts with some even referring to him as a fun plantar number 20. incidentally a plantar is another name for veruca a type of wart number 21 sprig is quite the marksman with a slingshot number 22 he's also quite musically gifted being both a good singer and playing the fiddle even at the same time number 23 his design went through a lot of iterations including having a blue tongue different clothing smaller eyes and being called weed instead of sprig number 24 the name they ended up settling for is a reference to his favorite season of spring number 25 incidentally it's fairly common for people both in the show and out to misspell his name as spring number 26 according to disney spriggs pink color scheme comes from the strawberry poison dart frog from central america number 27 but there is some debate about the merits of this given that those frogs are usually more red or orange number 28 as for the design he ended up with he's worn his hat since he was a tadpole number 29 and while on tadpoles let's move on to paulie her name is probably short for pollywog a different word for a tadpole number 30. it should be noted that paulie's development is really slow for a frog between the first episode and the end of season 2 and has been in amphibia for 6 months and polly only just started growing hind legs for most frogs that takes about 2 months at max number 31 on the plush side at least polly now has legs she can move around on number 32 polly's weapon of choice is a rolling pin that she has named doris number 33 even though it took polly quite a while to warm up to anne she is now frequently seen using the human as a means of getting around number 34 a talent she shares with her brother is the ability to perfectly mimic voices number 35 according to james turner who drew up early concept art for amphibia paulie's full name was originally supposed to be polly anna marie number 36 instead it's revealed in the episode truck stop paulie that her middle name is petunia number 37 when sprig first plays into paulie's candy addiction the sounds she's making are suspiciously close to that of arcade era pac-man number 38 let's move on to hop-hop for a little bit despite the fact that he farms and processes food for a living most infamously the pain peppers nobody really thinks that hop hop is a very good cook number 39 his full name is actually hopadaya plantar the suffix aya is fairly common among farmers in the midwestern united states making this a good fit for his profession number 40 his spats bear more than a passing resemblance to those worn by scrooge mcduck though that might just be a reference to his age in the real world these began to fall out of fashion in the 1920s number 41 though that would be a bit of a stretch because in the episode's stakeout he reveals to anne that he's 68 number 42 all right enough about the main characters for now let's focus on the show again originally it was supposed to be called amphiboland which can be seen in the pilot that only aired online this was changed for legal reasons number 43 the script for that pilot was later reworked into the second part of the first episode best friends number 44 a lot of episode titles are plays on words either with common sayings or other pieces of media grubhog day is a reference to groundhog day the event not necessarily the bill murray movie the same name number 45 the episode title cain crazy is very likely an allusion to plane crazy which is one of the earliest cartoons published featuring mickey mouse number 46 and children of the spore is a reference to the movie children of the corn which is an adaptation of a stephen king novel number 47 the references aren't limited to just titles though in the episode cursed the character of barry is based on gene wilder's willy wonka number 48 the episode breakout star pays homage to both monty python's life of brian with hop-hop using ann shu to distract the crowd chasing her and lord of the rings by quoting gandalf as he says fly you fools number 49 much like the owl house the episodes of this show did not air in the same order they were produced in the production code for the first episode is actually 103 whereas the second episode gets 101. number 50 season 2 stuck a lot closer to the order they were made to be the order they were released in with the only outliers being episodes 11 and 12. number 51 the work for this show was split over three animation studios but not consistently across the seasons sunmin image pictures only worked on the first season and didn't do any work on the next and while rough draft korea only did six episodes for the first season they did the majority of the episodes on the second season number 52 from season 2 on the end credits of the disney channel were compressed down to the role during the last 30 seconds of the show rather than take up time which the channel could use for commercials however the credits remain the same on disney plus number 53 this is the last disney channel show to prepare in the 2010s in fact it was the only show to premiere on the disney channel in 2019 number 54 the episode contagion was pulled from the airing schedule in march 2020 because it would have been quite inappropriate during the pandemic it did remain available on disney plus and returned to the disney channel in october of that same year number 55 the episode toad tax didn't have the theme song play at the start this is likely due to the fact that it's 13 minutes as opposed to the normal 11 minutes specials excluded number 56 then again reunion doesn't have the theme playing either and that's a 22 minute special number 57 because she technically appears in a picture in the episode prison break and is the only character to appear in every episode so far number 58 from that same episode the heron is a real family of birds and while they do appear almost all over the world the primary diet for most of them consists of reptiles and amphibians number 59 the infamous wilhelm scream is heard two times over the first two seasons in the episode prison break and later on in season 2 during the episode a caravan named desire number 60 in a dark twist it's revealed that heron's killed and probably ate spriggan paulie's parents number 61 in breakout star one of the statues in anne's room that toadstool gives her is remarkably similar to the statue of walt disney and mickey mouse at disney world number 62 in trip to the archives one of the books in the pile the plantar stack up to escape is one of the three journals from gravity falls number 63 in jonah's jacket he keeps both the sock cleaver and the threaded cane from bloodborne number 64. and in the episode combat camp the armory has a hylian shield and the master sword from the legend of zelda series additionally it has the spear of the nameless king from dark souls 3. number 65 in truck stop poly a lot of puns on famous book titles can be seen like war and peace and the great gatsby number 66 the book she ends up choosing is an allusion to fergus finds a friend but perhaps slightly more titillating it's signed by sprig and paulie's mother most likely before paulie was born as it's only made up to him number 67 the creatures they run into ohms are real salamander-like animals though normally not conjoined number 68 the shape the character on sasha's phone takes when grimes is watching it is a reference to edward munch's famous painting the scream number 69 the oddity hut is a thinly veiled reference to the mystery shack from gravity falls with the entire episode full of more references number 70. in fact that's alex hirsch reprising his role as the deliberately not stanley pines and not zeus number 71 the hairstyle sprig tries on in the episode the plantars check in go from dragon ball z to final fantasy number 72 the menu and lost in utopia was basically enough for fans to decipher almost the entire amphibian alphabet it has 26 characters plus a question card same as the latin alphabet they just look different number 73 marcy's plant in the sleepover to end all sleepovers is a venus flytrap though they normally aren't that aggressive number 74 in king andreas book one of the five planets on the cosmic map has the distinct purple and brown color scheme from the demonic realm in the owl house number 75 the opera anne points to on the map in that same episode is made of shells and looks like the cindy opera house fitting given that seashells is what the design of that was based on number 76 paulie's water blast looks exactly like the blast from squirtle in pokemon number 77 even though it aired in the main sequence the episode the shut-in is not actually considered part of the canon of the show matt brownlee himself confirmed as much on twitter number 78 the scene in the episode night drivers where hop hop says play the forbidden note has become something of a meme mostly because it lends itself well to editing in whatever the editor wants over sprig blowing the horn number 79 the triplet tadpoles that have been showing up at the end of the intro since episode 1 finally appear in return to wartwood but still won't get named until maddie and marcy rosemary lavender and gingerflower number 80 during the love nato among the objects you see are dipper's hat from gravity falls and anne's missing shoe number 81 the episode the first temple plays on average at least marcy's theme more than once a minute because it's heard 23 times number 82 even though the game of flipwart was mentioned as early as the season 1 finale it takes until the first temple episode 34 of the second season for those who have been keeping count for amphibia to actually show it being played on screen number 83 and when flipwart is being played it's in a giant version that looks more than a little like the giant's wizard's chest from the first harry potter movie number 84 a traditional noise for anything airborne in the nosedive is heard when joe sparrow makes his way down the jericho siren from the german world war ii aristoca dive bomber nothing else would make this noise [Music] number 85 even though the robot frobo has appeared numerous times it's not until the episode friend or frobo that he actually has his name said out loud number 86 additionally frobo is voiced by matt brawley himself number 87 the episode barrels warhammer is the first episode in which anne doesn't appear not even in a picture however she's mentioned so depending on how loose your definitions are she may or may not have made an appearance here number 88 barrel's warhammer itself functions pretty much identically to excalibur in the king arthur legend number 89 one of the armor sets anne tries on in bessie and microangelo is the barbarian set from the legend of zelda and the next set which bernardo refers to as sorcerer supreme has king's skull mounted on the staff from the owl house that name is most likely a reference to doctor strange from the marvel comics which is his official title number 90 the poster seen in the background mimic those of scott pilgrim versus the world number 91 the season 2 finale true callers is the longest episode by quite a margin clocking in at 24 minutes number 92 it's the first episode of the show to be tv y7fv rated mostly due to marcy getting injured by king andreas sword number 93 however it must have been doing something right as it holds a 9.9 rating on imdb which is up there with some of the highest rated episodes of all time in any show number 94 while the show is overall pretty well regarded it should be noted that there's a definite spike for both season finales so far as they're considered the strongest episodes number 95 in fact three of the other best-liked episodes by the community are the three focusing on anne's friends sasha and marcy number 96 that having been said the viewership on first airings was kind of all over the place the show usually hovers around 400 000 viewers per episode some a little more some a little less which is perfectly satisfactory for a show on the disney channel number 97 a major exception to this though is the episode reunion the season 1 finale which only pulled in 340 000 viewers which was much lower than the average on season 1 and definitely lower than you'd expect for a finale number 98 since then that dubious honor has been taken by the second episode of season 2 pulling in a mere 220 000 viewers on its debut number 99 on the voice acting side of things it's worth noting that the only actual child on set is justin felbringer who voices spring number 100 in fact his baby sister paulie is voiced by amanda leighton who is a whole nine years older than him in real life number 101 mr flower is voiced by two different actors kevin michael richardson in nearly all of his appearances and fred tatashore but only in the episode new wartwood number 102 the joe johnson who directed no less than 15 episodes for the series is not the same joe johnston who directed jumanji and captain america the first avenger confusing seeing how they're both directors number 103 midway through season 2 disney and sky uk had a falling out leading to amphibia only being released on disney plus in the uk and ireland number 104 for reasons unknown marcy's bird was named after joe sparrow who works as a concept artist for the show number 105 tj hill who did the music for the first season of the owl house did all of the music for amphibia number 106 the three colors of the gems on the box represent the qualities of anne and her friends green for marcy's intelligence blue for anne's kindness and purple for sasha's strength number 107 and finally king andreas book also contains something that's been translated into either a prophecy or a poem three stars burning bright come from beyond to expel the night should they fight or embrace the fall their choice will determine all and that's all we have room for for now the third season is currently still running which means that there are plenty more revelations to be had and we're sure to inform you of them when
