This would be the easiest way to pay homage without stepping on anyone’s toes continuity wise. The decision was made early to feature alternative universe versions of Grunkle Stan and Soos as frogs. Jenava herself was a huge ‘Gravity Falls’ fan and leapt at the chance to work with its iconic characters. So when ‘Amphibia’ writer Jenava Hudek pitched an episode where the Plantars would stop at a creepy wax museum during their roadtrip, I knew this was our golden opportunity. The two shows share so much DNA that it seemed like a missed opportunity not to have the worlds interact in some fashion. I have always wanted to create a ‘Gravity Falls’ tribute in ‘Amphibia.' I just didn’t know when or how. SQUEE! Braly explained that he asked Hirsch about adding the homage and if he’d be open to voicing the characters. Both of these characters will be voiced by Gravity Falls creator and voice actor Alex Hirsch. This hut is owned by The Curator who bears a striking resemblance to Grunkle Stan and Frog Soos who looks like a frog version of Soos. On August 8, the episode “Wax Museum” will air, which features the group of heroes traveling to a roadside attraction oddly similar to the Mystery Shack called the Curiosity Hut. I recently got to interview Braly and while he was tight lipped about what to expect as an homage, Variety has gotten and spilled the details.
