[frogs croaking]

Question: Why are the Plantars flooding our lawn?

Sorry, that's on me.

They've been really homesick lately, and I thought a swamp might cheer 'em up.

They don't look very cheery.

[both sigh]

[groans]

They were for a bit, but then they weren't.

So now I'm making them cookies, the answer to all of life's problems.

Anne, you can't keep giving them things just because you feel bad.

They need to learn how to cope on their own.

Maybe you're right. I'll go talk to them.

Mmm! How did you get them so crunchy?

Oh, that's the cicadas! Thanks, Mom!

Do I smell cookies? [shouts]

[garden hose tap squeaks]

Guys, I know you're homesick, but I don't think any of this is helping.

[sighs] Anne's right, kids.

This was nice, but let's clean this up and get back to the village.

Sorry, the what now?

Why, our miniature re-creation of Wartwood, of course!

May I have this dance, tiny Sylvia?

- Aw. - [sobs]

Okay, this can't be healthy.

[phone ringing, vibrating]

Hey, Dr. Jan. Tell me you've got good news.

Great news, actually. I've got a lead!

One of my colleagues knows

a string theory expert who works in the area!

- Uh... - In other words,

we found someone who might be your ticket back to Amphibia.

Wow! Just wait till I tell the Plantars!

I wouldn't just yet.

There are a lot of loose cannons in the scientific community,

and I'd like to vet this "Dr. Frakes" before we meet her.

Okay, let me know when you're ready, Dr. Jan.

- Was that Dr. Jan? - [shouts]

- Sounded like she had news! - A lot of news!

Sorry, guys. No good news to report.

- Aw. - Oh, man.

[Hop Pop] All right, kids, back to the tiny village.

Just kidding! Dr. Jan found someone who might know how to get us back to Amphibia!

Holy cow!

Think they could get us home by the weekend?

What are we waiting for? Let's meet this wizard!

Well, we can't go right now. Dr. Jan says...

...that today is great!

I have her name. Let me look her up, and we can head on over.

[Polly, Hop Pop] You're the best, Anne!

[Sprig] All right!

This is fine. It's a good idea.

They need a nugget. Right, fake Wally?

- [wind whistles] - [metal squeaks]

Oh, who asked you?

According to the Internet, our scientist works right here?

[all] Whoa.

[children chattering, giggling]

- [shouts] - [beeping]

[screams]

- [scream echoes] - [phone clatters]

And whoever can answer the question gets a snack.

He got snacks!

[screaming]

Whoa. So this is where they keep all the dark Earth magic.

I can't believe we'll be going home soon.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We're only here to ask some questions.

Now, stay close. The government's still on our tail.

[all] Hmm.

[sighs] I keep telling you kids, we don't have extra snacks back here.

Oh, hello.

Are you here to see Dr. Frakes?

- Absolutely! - We want to meet the doctor!

[Anne groans]

- I mean, maybe. - [Sprig] No big deal.

- Meh. - Is she available?

Only by appointment. Sorry.

Oh. Well, we tried.

[groans] Wait!

Actually we are reporters, and we were just wondering

if you could answer some questions about inter-dimensional travel?

- Aren't you a bit young to be a reporter? - [grunts] Silence, Terri!

At last, the media has caught wind of my amazing discovery!

What kind of discovery?

Oh, nothing big. Just a portal to another dimension!

[all] Did you say portal?

Now come with me! Terri! Music!

[Terri sighs]

[dramatic music plays]

The great Dr. Frakes may currently be stuck running the Brainasium

and looking after hordes of snot-nosed brats,

but that doesn't mean my research has stopped!

Oh, no! Behold, Frakes Ferrofluid!

Over here is an example of a Frakes Fractal.

Look over here! My Frakes Field!

Wow! So many things named after you!

Well, science is the pursuit of naming things after yourself.

Huh. I thought it was the pursuit of knowledge.

- [music stops] - Don't be stupid, Terri!

[beeps]

Voilà! The Frakes Portal Chamber!

- [Anne] Whoa. - [Plantars gasping]

It all began a few months ago,

when the city was hit with a wave of very strange energy.

- [electricity crackling] - [pigeons coo]

[electricity crackling]

[whoosh]

[screaming]

Since then, we've been able to repeat the anomaly several times.

But no matter how many times I do it, no one believes me!

Everyone says that my images are faked.

Hard to get a good picture with all that magnetic distortion.

[all gasp]

But here today, I will prove otherwise!

Now who's ready to see me burst through space-time?

Doctor, this process is still very unstable and dangerous.

Should we really involve civilians?

[mocking] "Unstable and dangerous."

Fine, fine! We'll let the press decide!

I think one of those pictures is Amphibia.

I'm almost somewhat certain about it!

I'm not so sure, guys. The images look pretty fuzzy.

And besides, we just came to ask questions.

Okay, but can we at least look through it?

Please, Anne? We'd be able to see home again!

No! We have no idea what will happen! It's too dangerous!

[Plantars crying]

[groans] Fine! Just a peek.

But then you're not allowed to be sad for the rest of your lives. Got it?

[Plantars] Yeah!

[chuckles]

All right, Dr. Frakes, let's see that portal.

That's what I'm talking about, baby!

[cackling]

[beeps]

[powering up]

It's...

It's...

not Amphibia.

[electricity crackling]

[all gasp]

- [groans] - [gasps]

[both coughing]

Unfortunately, I can only hold the portal open

for about five seconds before it collapses and--

Uh, were you three always giant talking frogs?

- [gasps] - [chuckles]

- [gasps] - Um, so... I can explain.

We're frog people from another dimension!

We just wanna go home!

I knew they weren't reporters.

Hmm.

- Ow. - I see.

[sniffs]

[chuckles]

Terri, clear my schedule!

[shouts, grunts]

Frakes Field activate!

[Plantars scream]

[cackles]

I can see the headlines now: "Frakes Frogs Change the World."

I'll be the most famous scientist in history,

as soon as I dissect you and catalog your organs.

Come back with my frog family!

- Don't try to stop me, Terri! - I'm not!

Frakes may be an unparalleled genius,

but that doesn't mean she can just kidnap people!

- We have to stop her! - Oh.

Well, that's a nice turn. Let's do this!

[karate yell]

There! The stairs! She's heading for the dissection lab!

[children sniffing]

Snacks!

Oh, no. My granola bar from lunch!

Run, Anne!

- [children clamoring] - Go! I'll be fine!

Ooh, snacks!

[grunts]

Anne!

- Help! - Pokey things!

[tools whirring]

[yells, grunts]

[Dr. Frakes] You can't stop me, Anne!

When I'm done, everyone will know my name!

You're crazy, Dr. Fink!

- It's Frakes! - Whatever.

Not today.

[shouts]

- Dang it. - [Terri] Anne!

Snacks...

- Here, take my key card! - Don't you dare, Terri!

One email from me, and you'll never work in any scientific field ever again!

Do you really want to risk your entire career for these creatures?

[breathes heavily]

Yep. [grunts]

No!

- [whirring] - [Plantars groaning]

[clanks]

Let's go!

Terri, Terri. Stop it, Terri!

[screams]

[panting]

[whirring]

[narrator] Behold, the baby penguin, so noble, fluffy and precious.

- [Dr. Frakes roars] - [children scream]

What do we do, Anne? She's after us and madder than a hornet!

I have an idea.

Terri, take the Plantars and go.

Here's a physics lesson for you, Anne.

I'm bigger than you, and I have momentum.

You can't stop me!

I have a lesson for you too.

Cookies really are the answer to all of life's problems.

[cackles] Oh.

Hey, kids! Snack time!

Uh...

[children] Cookies.

[screaming]

- What? No! - [children clamoring]

This is all your fault, Terri!

You'll never work again, you hear me? Never again!

[Dr. Frakes shouts]

- [Hop Pop] Good thinking! - [Sprig] Nice job, Anne!

[Polly] Any cookies left?

Look, guys. I'm doing my best to get us back to Amphibia, okay?

And I get how much you miss it, but you gotta stop guilting me.

I can't resist!

- Sorry, Anne. - We should have known better.

The Plantars always did have powerful guiltin' skills.

Yeah, but you cost this poor lady her job and nearly got dissected!

I think you all actually did me a favor.

Frakes was brilliant, but also a huge jerk.

This whole thing reminded me that science is for helping others,

not just helping yourself.

And I think the portal we'll build together

will be more than enough to get me a grant.

Wait, you mean...

- What? - [Polly and Sprig gasp]

Yep! I'm gonna help you get these goobers home.

[cheering]

[Anne] Thanks, Terri. You're good people.

[Sprig] Hey, Terri, can I drive your car? Please?

[Terri] Aw, just look at that face. Well, okay.

- [Anne, Polly, Hop Pop] Terri, no! - [Terri screams]

[Anne laughs]

[Hop Pop] Whoo-hoo! Baby ♪

- [Sprig vocalizes] - [Hop Pop] Whoa!
