Amphibia

A found house, a real apology, and a way home. Good for the middle years if you watch the turn.

Anne starts as a girl who steals a music box to impress friends who were using her. The Plantar family — a grandfather, a young frog, a tadpole — takes her in and expects work. The show is funny and then it is about whether she will tell the truth to the girls she left, and whether a person can change enough to be allowed back.

The invasion plot gets large. The part that belongs on this desk is smaller: a girl who learns that loyalty is not the same as going along, and a family that is not hers by blood and is hers by care. Stay for the apology. Leave if it becomes only a battle.
