There's a lot of really specific cultural references in the show that are for me. I just wanted this character who people would remember and really love. Stuck in this fantastical world of amphibians, Anne quickly bonds with the adventurous Sprig and discovers the true meaning of friendship. It has to be a great, memorable character. It's one thing to create a character, and they're diverse. I think, for me, the most important thing was. We just had this really fun fan celebration, and I ran into so many people who came up and were like, "Hey, I'm Thai, and I can't tell you how much this means to me" - people who are just of Asian American descent feeling the same. What does it mean to you - both as an animator and just as a fan of animation - to know generations of fans will grow up with these characters?

The moral of these episodes - and the show as a whole - can be explained with the line, "we can't forget the past, but we can change the future." Why was that so important to make that core message of the story?
