REVIEW: Amphibia – Season 3, Episode 11, “Commander Anne/Sprivy”
*SPOILERS* “Commander Anne” opens where “Escape to Amphibia” left off, as Anne and the Plantars look on at a destroyed Amphibia. They’re attacked by a giant centipede and subsequently rescued by Sasha and some of the Wartwood folks. Anne and Sasha surprisingly have a wa...
