Gotta love the creative imagination work of Craig McCracken, the creator genius of "The Powerpuff girls" and "Foster's Home for imaginary friends" which both were cool shows.
I was pretty curious about it, so I decided to watch it.
The pilot was very amusing, the antics of the main character made me laugh in that one especially when obliviously annoying the villain. Believe me, there are many positive things about the character I seen, that are cute, sweet and funny.
I actually approve this new show and look forward to seeing more of this series. If you like good laugh and enjoyable characters, I recommend it.

This show was unbelievably good at so MA you things
With good characters you can make any boring story into a fun ride some episodes have a really boring plot but with these characters they managed to be great fun the animation while sometimes feeling it was animated by different people manages to be jaw dropping and the background just beautiful stuff and let's not forget about the amazing character designs this show did won an award for character designs
My only problems sometimes the show can be bit childish and not really funny but annoying
Still wander over yonder is a great show
Love itt.

I watched the first episode today(the greatest/the egg) with my sister and we were laughing outloud throughout all the episode
I grew up watching the likes of Powerpuff Girls,Fosters for Imaginary Friends both shows Craig created and I remember he wrote a bunch of episodes for Classics like Dexter's Lab and Johnny Bravo all shows I really loved...and I can safely say that Wander over Yonder is a great show...Craig still has it in him to deliver the laughs
The cartoon series is inspired/pays homages to old Warner Bros Cartoons with a '50s style Sci-fi kind of Style The episodes all seem to base around one thing much like in oldschool animated film shorts
Overall great show 10/10

This show is so adorable and funny to watch.but I gotta say I didn't think it looked so great at first, one day I decided to watch an episode with my little sisters just to see what it was like and I have got to say I completely misjudged the show, because it was so GREAT AND FUNNY. I don't normally like watching Disney channel shows since there's mostly teen shows, but I gotta say wander over yonder is now one of my favorites to watch right along side Gravity Falls. Its entertaining for the whole family and has a little bit of everything, not only that it gives excellent life lessons to the little ones about doing good and being good in the funnest of ways. Definitely a must watch

Wander Over Yonder doesn't have the best writing but it's a genuinely good and fun show. Give it a shot.
Disney killed this show with a knife in a dark alley. Watch it pls, it's amazing.

Much like Uncle Grandpa, this is a simple, wacky, optimistic show that is driven mostly by the desire to tell jokes and make the viewer smile. There isn't much to it, but there's really very little bad to say.
Visuals: This show uses as style of animation similar to Craig's previous show, "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends". The animated acting and characterization is pretty good here, and the characters are free to express themselves. They don't go over-the-top with it as much as something like "Ren and Stimpy", restraining themselves to something similar to classical rubber hose cartoons. Wander's Smile is infectious and Felix-the-Cat-like. The main difference between this and Foster's is that the characters have very thick, slick-looking black outlines. The color scheme is very simple, but it looks decent. The movements of the characters tend to follow a rhythmic pattern with sounds effects that takes advantage of Flash, but not as much as possible. I really like Wander's design, but not all of the characters are so blessed. The style here isn't my favorite, but I can see people liking it.
Characters: This show is mostly driven by the strong, simple personalities of the characters. None of them are too complex or fresh, but none of them are too annoying or unlikable. The sympathy is usually where it should be.
Storytelling: Very simple and straightforward, as well as being fairly energetic. It can be somewhat predictable and follow patterns we've all seen before, but it works.
Audio: The music is distinctive, consisting mostly of folk tunes and banjo plucks. It helps give the show an identity. The theme song is so heinously catchy and smile-inducing that you will never get it out of your head, and I really like it for that. The voice performances also work pretty well. Wander has that "Nice-Guy" sound that he really needs.
To sum up, there really isn't too much to talk about here. This is just a show that wants to have some fun with you and make you smile if you'll let it. It's almost like a midway point between the typical Craig McKracken style and some sort of classical rubber-hose cartoon. Strangely, I think that "Mickey Mouse" fans might enjoy this, as will fans of Craig and Lauren's other shows.

Let me begin by saying that I am witless to explain how this program can rate 7+ on IMDb unless the same fool is voting six times under six different aliases.
I cannot fathom the "personality" of this character, Wander. He is unable even to say "hello" without yelling, dancing, singing, and quite literally bouncing off the walls. Any ten seconds spent watching this pathetic program will result in an immediate migraine headache.
The show makes no sense. The plots are dull. The characters are annoying. The graphics are loud and distracting. Plus, all Wander ever does is wander from here to there, screaming, yelling, going off on ADHD-style tangents and thoroughly obnoxificating the audience.
Steer WAY clear of this abject trash.

When I learned that former Cartoon Network TV creator Craig McCracken was working for Disney on "Wander Over Yonder", I decided to give it a shot. And boy, it exceeds my expectations!
With great quality animation, superb storytelling, tremendous humor, and terrificly heart- warming character developments, this show is instantly destined to be among many of Disney's animated TV classics and critical contemporary hits, from "Gummi Bears" and "Darkwing Duck", to "Kim Possible" and "Phineas and Ferb". While it has the signature Disney storytelling, there are Craig McCracken's story sensibilities we all know without much compromise. Even most of the episodes have become instant fans' favorites, from "the Greatest" and "the Good Deed", to "the Troll" and the emotionally resonant "the Little Guy".
I'm totally positive that your review will be similar to mines after watching "Wander Over Yonder" the 1st time.

It is an awful show - I wish they would invest in something good and creative instead of this recycled shapeless sludge

After disasters like Mr. Young, Crash and Bernstein, A.N.T Farm, Shake It Up, Austin and Ally and Dog with a blog I lost all hope for Disney. After I heard that Craig McCracken, the creator of Foster's and The PowerPuff Girls would make a new show, I had high hopes. And boy, I wasn't wrong!
I really love this show. The characters are very funny and amazing, Wander is a great role model, he and his horse are a great team, Lord Hater(Sure, not a great name, but since when did character names matter?) is funny, and so is his partner! The plots are creative and fun, unlike most DC shows. I like the dialog and the script, it is not generic and boring like most DC shows. I also have to praise the animation, which is brilliant! The voice acting is great too!
10/10(Great characters, funny, brilliant plots, good script and dialog, fantastic animation and great voice acting!)

Craig Mccracken the creator of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends and The PowerPuff Girls (1998) did an excellent job making Disney Channel and Disney Xd look awesome with wander and sylvia.

When I first watch the episode The Picnic, I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. I thought Wander was a little too annoying and hyperactive, and I didn't like the idea of him being so perfect he's able to get away with anything, unscratched. After realizing the show was made by Craig Mccracken, I decided to give it another go. So, I watched The Fugitives. This episode was much more satisfying to me cause it showed Wander was not perfect, and the fact he was literally obsessed with helping people was a hilarious concept. Wander is like a combo of Spongebob and Wilt (from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends). He's super hyperactive and naive, but also very helpful and kind. He's sidekick Sylvia is the smarter, tougher half. Their relationship is so cute. Sylvia gives Wander strength and protection, while Wander gives Sylvia calm and kindness. The series is definitely worth watching. While I've only disliked two episodes (The Troll and The Hero), the rest has made me laugh and smile. I've loved it so much, just hearing the theme song will make me smile now. And I am so excited for season 2, and the seasons to come! While the first season was plot-less, the next season will have more serious story arcs!!

This is by far one of Disney's greatest cartoons. I laugh so hard when I watch this show. Wonder is definitely me! He and Sylvia work so well together and Lord Hater is a great villain! I recommend this show to anyone and if you like this one check out Phineas And Ferb And Kim Possible if you haven't already.

One of the most enjoyable cartoons I've seen in ages. Wander Over Yonder is very comfortable being as loopy and noodly and cartoony as a cartoon aughtta be, contorting and articulating about in exaggerated whimsy. Characters talk and move about in rhythm with their emotions, and it makes for a really fluid style of animation.
Beyond that, it's exceptionally well-voiced and reasonably well-written for an episodic series. Characters avoid being annoying or boring, each different enough from the other to keep scenes fun and moving. I particularly like Jack McBrayer's Wander (perfectly cast), April Winchell's Sylvia, and Tom Kenny's Commander Peepers - they add a flavor and realness to their characters that goes a long way toward keeping things delightful.
Only real missteps are a recurring story element with Lord Hater in season 2 that gets a little one-note until about halfway through the season. Emperor Awesome is also a little bland once you've seen him once.
That aside, though, I'd definitely recommend the series.

I'm a 40 year old guy who grew up watching all the classics: looney tunes, Hanna Barabara, Disney's after school shows, etc. I never stopped watching animated tv shows/movies. I like CGI and traditional animation. I liked Dexters' Laboratory, loved Powerpuff Girls, and Fosters Home. But when i saw Wander Over Yonder, it blew my mind. The color palette was gorgeous, the art/animation and motions of characters were imaginative and hilarious, the dialogue was spot-on, and some of the gimmicks, "hates great, best villain" only a child born before the 90's would get it, Miller Lites' slogan, "tastes great, less filling". It's little gens like that, that made this show perfect.
That it was only on for 2 seasons is in my mind an absolute tragedy and a crime. The potential for character development was wide open, and their arcs would've been spectacular. This was THE BEST CARTOON I've ever seen in my life, with no hesitation or second thoughts. Craig McCracken and Genndy Tartakovsky are untouchable in their craft. I still watch Samurai Jack, Dexters' Lab, PPG, and Fosters regularly. If you haven't watched this cartoon, you're missing out, but be prepared that it stops after season 2. I guess we can thank Lord Disney for that bone-headed move.

Just watch it, charming as hell. Animation is very expressive, and you can't go wrong with Tom Kenny in the cast.
