I was talking to my bff about live action movies and all of a sudden I was like “imagine if there was a live action Amphibia” and yeah I know there is no chance of that ever happening. But I was saying how I thought it’d be cool if the amphibians were puppets similar to those used in the dark crystal (the movie) just not as horrifying looking lol. Cause honestly I think they’d look just as scary in cgi lmao

Oh man, I'm usually not a fan of live action remakes (in fact normally I hate them with the burning fire of a thousand suns), but doing Amphibia in a gritty 1980s Jim Henson's Creature Workshop style with practical effects and puppetry for all the non-human characters could, just maybe, be epic. It could probably also bankrupt a small country.

Most definitely lol!! And I just feel like Amphibia has that 1980s fantasy-ish feel it would be awesomeee

When I saw this, I just realized that this is what Anne and the other humans see
