Wander Over Yonder (2013–2016) User Reviews

Cute and Funny

[ethereal_heart · 8/10 · 25 November 2013]

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.

A fun, underrated cartoon

Wander Over Yonder doesn't have the best writing but it's a genuinely good and fun show. Give it a shot.

An Unexpected surprise and a really good one at that

[ahmadmalake · 8/10 · 29 November 2022]

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.

Craig McCracken DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!

[dammn · 10/10 · 27 September 2013]

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

Amazing!

[madera-m123 · 10/10 · 30 January 2014]

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

Absolutely Genius

[omgitsamystery · 10/10 · 3 December 2013]

"Wander Over Yonder" has to be in all honesty one of the best cartoons I have seen in a while, everything about it blows me away it is hilarious, artistically gorgeous, has great characters, and great morals. I Have been a fan of Craig McCracken since I was little and "The PowerPuff Girls" were around and you can tell this is his show, it has a 90's nostalgia to it mixed with some classic looney tunes vibes. The animation is fun and energetic, I find all the characters lovable and relate-able and it's so nice to see a show that is so upbeat for a change. It's been years since I have had a reason to watch Disney Channel. The music in it is also amazing, there is so much detail in every aspect of it and it seems to get better with each episode, I can't possibly touch on everything. I hope it is around for a long time.

Best show ever made :)

Disney killed this show with a knife in a dark alley. Watch it pls, it's amazing.

Saintbeacon Wander Over Yonder Review

[saintbeacon · 17 September 2014]

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.

bizarrely obnoxious--obnoxiously bizarre

[bdwilneralex · 1/10 · 1 June 2014]

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.

An Instant Disney/McCracken Classic!

[Benjamin_406 · 9/10 · 26 January 2014]

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.

terrible

[neverknewit · 1/10 · 4 November 2019]

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

Fantastic show!

[Showtime2345 · 10/10 · 23 February 2014]

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!)

10/10

[arielsiere · 10/10 · 11 March 2022]

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.

Cute Show!!!

[b-53690-52030 · 10/10 · 28 May 2021]

I love watching the funny adventures of Sylvia and Wander as they go across the galaxy to do stuff like helping people to annoying Lord Hater!!!

Good show

[elguthrie-36750 · 10/10 · 3 February 2021]

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

Terrible and lacking creativity

[lostpenguin-99117 · 1/10 · 4 November 2019]

Shapeless and uninspired characters and overall an awful show: glad its gone

One of the best cartoons of all time

[leumasgoncalvez · 9/10 · 17 August 2021]

One thing I love to see in cartoons is that they make an effort to be 100% enjoyable. But this cartoon is no exception. Wander Over Yonder is one of those cartoons that I'm sure will remind you of cartoons from the golden age of animation like Hannah Barbera and Warner Bros. Animation. This cartoon has it all, a colorful, attractive, fluid and simple animation. Adventure, impressive and entertaining plots. Silly jokes that remind you of Looney Tunes and incredible creativity everywhere, from the backgrounds, the character designs and even the episodes can be creative (See the Void for example) Wander Over Yonder is simply an awesome cartoon.

Now let's talk about the characters; Wander is my favorite character for simple reasons; He is very nice, friendly, kind, he likes to do good, he likes to see good in everything (even in the most evil and selfish people) and it is very funny that with all his witticisms and antics he will make you remember Bugs Bunny.

Sylvia is another one of my favorite characters and she proves not only to be Wander's steed, but his best friend. There is one thing that I really like about the chemistry between Wander and Sylvia and that is that they both learn something new about each other in every adventure they go through; Wander is crazy, curious and does his best to do good, Sylvia on the other hand is safe, rude and wants to do things in a somewhat violent way.

Wander teaches Sylvia that not everything has to be done with violence and that you don't always have to be rude to others despite everything they do to you and Wander from time to time also learns a little from Sylvia. Their friendship is something that I value very much.

Now let's go with the antagonists that I am sure and without a doubt are the best characters in the series: Lord Hater is simply a fantastic villain and everything he does I'm sure will make you laugh. From time to time, Lord Hater acts like a clumsy child, but most of the time he can be terrifying and incredible, especially with his powers.

Commander Peepers also counts as the right hand of Lord Hater and because he is so short he makes you think that he is funny and cute at the same time (the same I say for the Watchdogs). His voice is also funny, besides being played by one of my favorite actors; Tom Kenny. (SpongeBob's voice).

Now that I talk about the protagonists, let's talk about the episodes: oh yes, this series has a bit of everything and they do it in an incredible way, especially with their creativity.

Writers and animators can manage to give us many moments of healthy fun and creativity.

They can get by by making a full episode being a catchy, colorful musical (My Fair Hatey), an epic action-packed and suspenseful episode (The Battle Royale), and an epic Season finale (The End of the Galaxy). As for the regular episodes, they can give us sentimental moments (As in The Axe, The Black Cube, The Bot, The Flower and The Wanders for example) and give us many funny moments in most of the episodes and the best thing is that of From time to time it can teach you something like learning to treat people well and help them, to see the good in others, to have fun with your friends and many valuable lessons.

Many of these factors is what makes this series so special and unique.

I must say that Craig McCracken is a legendary animator and everything he does, he does for everyone ie: colorful characters, action-packed storylines and adventure, and many valuable lessons that adults can appreciate.

My final verdict: this cartoon is amazing. I think I already said a lot about this series and I really recommend it.

the show sucks

[BowlingGod146 · 1/10 · 31 December 2013]

this show isn't even that good. Disney channel has done better with it's TV shows such as Jessie, Good luck Charlie, Liv & Maddie and much more. it's dumb, idiotic, stupid and not worth watching. I'd rather pull my hair out than watch this garbage. I hate it, there is nothing good about it. why bother watching it. you should watch something else because I'm sure you will find something better than this piece of poop. yeah you have a much better bet of finding something better to do than by watching this episode. it should be called boring over loser or something like that because it seems boring and not fun to watch at all.

Just an absolute delight

[mightymothra · 10/10 · 27 March 2016]

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.

Animation Domination

[chewyn-84107 · 10/10 · 9 June 2019]

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.

Mccracken never lets us down

[trishcuffari · 10/10 · 16 June 2015]

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!!

A wackier and more fast paced version of adventure time.

[kumargopinath · 9/10 · 8 October 2013]

I'll admit,when I first watched this show,I was a little disappointed.The show was extremely fast paced,the main character felt like a Spongebob clone and most of the jokes were just immature.But after watching it again,I have to say,this show is pretty good.Anyway,I watched the next two episodes,and I thought those two were even better.So yes,I really like this show.This,along with gravity falls are probably the only two shows on Disney channel that are worth watching.Anyway,onto the characters - wander is a fun loving,hyperactive alien who loves spreading joy and happiness.And I really like him.He's kinda like Spongebob,except that loves making people happy instead of annoying them.Sylvia is a tough and violent but also kind hearted "zbornak".I like her too.She kinda reminds me of buttercup from power puff girls.But her voice is just.......*shivers*.Anyways,Lord hater is the main antagonist of the show, who's only goal is to conquer every planet.He is probably my favorite character on this show.He's like a toned down version of mojo jojo.Peepers is an eye(who can somehow talk) who is one of lord hater's minions.I don't really like him.He has no real personality.But maybe we will get more episodes focusing around him and his back stories in the future.All the other characters don't really have any personalities either,but it's still fun watching them.So overall,this show is really good but not as good as Mr.Mcracken's previous shows.The show can be a little childish at times.Also the show is not that original.I think it's kind of like an adventure time rehash(even though I do find this show to be more enjoyable than adventure time).But still,I find this show to be very enjoyable and very funny.And if Disney keeps on making more cartoons like this,maybe,just maybe,the channel will turn good again.Well that's all I've got to say.

Unfunny and unoriginal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stephenchase-63504 · 1/10 · 26 March 2021]

Not good at all, due to its lack of humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Asks the Hard Questions for a Whimsical Cartoon

[aachamriel · 9/10 · 1 May 2016]

This show presents that doing the good thing can sometimes be a LARGE inconvenience to the doer. This show confronts the fact that sometimes when you do something good, it actually turns worse for others. Yet Wander and Sylvia has model strength of character to persevere until everything turns out alright.

Craig and his crew have handled balance the balance of cute, funny, smooth animations, colorful settings and character development.

If I'm going to have children, this is one of the shows I'd love them to watch. Wander is that uncrushable spark in a dark, lawless galaxy whose motto is "It never hurts to help!"

not good

[myonlyshoe · 1/10 · 11 July 2020]

Everything looks awful in this show. why can't we have good shows like dexter's laboratory or ed edd n eddy or recess? or at least ones AS good.
