| First mention | |
Murrieta-animata is a spell that can bring any inanimate object to life. It is first used in "Pop Me and We Both Go Down" by Max during a magic lesson. It is later revealed in "Alex's Spring Fling" that if you leave an animated object animated too long, then it develops emotions, and it can't be changed back. However, it can be brought back to its original state with water. Also in "Alex's Spring Fling", Manny Kin was dunked in water and was changed back to a mannnequin.
History
Max first attempts to bring a cup to life during a magic lesson. However, the spell doesn't work because Max fails to picture the cup with arms and legs, and was instead thinking about the cheese Jerry drew on the board.
Alex is the second to try the spell during the magic lesson. She animates the figurine of a marathon runner that's on top of a trophy instead of the cup because it seemed easier to her. The spell works perfectly, but the trophy figurene unexpectatedly runs off.
The second time Alex uses the spell it's by accident. In an attempt to use a spell on Justin that will give him clear skin, she accidentally uses Murrieta-animata instead, and animates his zit.
Development
Murrieta-animata is named after Peter Murrieta, an executive producer and writer for the series. Animata comes from the word 'animate' which means to bring to life.
