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.
