Description[]
In the Yonder Galaxy, two rival intergalactic villains, Lord Hater and Emperor Awesome, bump heads (and armies) at a planetary alignment that signals the rise of an all-powerful wish-granting being. Unfortunately for both Hater and Awesome, there comes a grain of sand in the cogs, in the form of a happy-go-lucky little fellow by the name of Wander, whose plans for the planetary alignments are to sit in front of it and watch it as he eats a picnic with his best friend, and whose comical obliviousness to the evildoers' designs proves their undoing…
Behind the scenes[]
This short, released in August of 2013, is the first released episode of Wander Over Yonder. It is worth noting however that The Greatest (episode 2 in the final broadcast order) was produced with the intent of being episode 1.
