The WOY finale made it into the top 10 of the iTunes kids charts at #9! Which is great! It was even at #8 earlier in the day, so it looks like it’s slowly dropping. This might be the last time we’ll see Wander this high on the charts, so it would be great if we could keep that number up for as long as we can.
iTunes seems to be only available in the US, but if you happen to have access to it and can afford spending $2.99 (or $1.99 for SD instead of HD) for a single episode, now’s a better time than ever to consider!
Back at the end of Wander Season 1 and just as we were starting Season 2 we got word that the heads of XD were going to be meeting with Disney Consumer Products to talk to them about the possibility merchandising some of the XD shows.
Wanting to convince consumer products that there was a lot of potential in making stuff for Wander our Art Director, Alex Kirwan did these sketches as a visual aid to spark the conversation. Unfortunately nothing ever really happened in regards to Disney getting behind a Wander merchandise plan so these drawings are all we have to show what could have been.
I would fight a dinosaur on roller skates to get that Wander
Also, I just started up my new blog called “Wander Over Yonder Files”. Basically it’s where I put my reblogs of my favorite WOY fanart, crew notes, my thoughts, essays, and reflections.
But most of all, this is where I put up all of the resource links regarding Wander Over Yonder and #SaveWOY in one place.
(NOTE: The Links in this site only appear in the Desktop Version. So for those with phones, you won’t be able to see them. However, I have a “More Info” Link set up to this page here in order to access the links below. I also plan to do some reblogs of the guides some time after each set of posts from the new episodes info (though I may not reblog spoiler highlight posts in case some folks haven’t seen anything about the show. So the highlight reblogs will remain on my normal Kureisan28 blog)).
Also, we got less than 13 hours until theThunderclap Campaign closes sign ins to post the one-time message across social media (which we have enough supporters at least 250) tomorrow at 9 AM PDT / 12 PM EDT. This will redirect to the Save Disney Shows site.
It’s been almost two months since Craig announce that Wander Over Yonder will be cancelled by the end of June, and to this day pretty much every fan even the ones who aren’t fans of the show have been putting aside their time to help get Wander another season, and i think that’s just awesome!
So much has happened thru out those two months that i would like to tell you whats been going on down below.
First off one of thepetitions to help save Wander has reached over 17,000 signatures and counting! This is simply incredible, knowing that there are SO many people who want to save the show really does give you all kinds of hope~ Now the petition is expecting to reach 25,000. Seems like a long run, but with all these increasing fans it might be possible.
Also someone usernamed Peepsuqeak just finished up this map pinpointing almost all of the fans from around the world who signed the petition. Not too much info is leaked, but i think it’s a great way of knowing how many fans of Wander there really are and how spread out they are.
For a while now a lot of fans have been sending letters to the people in charge of Disney TV shows and out of all the letters i’ve read a large majority of them were really polite and considerate! I highly recommend any and everyone to send a letter to the company. I just feel that sending letters are the most effective way of letting Disney know how much you want to save certain shows and the company does often read our mail, as proven by the crew members them self.

I think one of the more common things fans have done to support the show was make
#SaveWOY themed fan art which i find to be just as helpful! A lot of the fan art i’ve seen are so nice and creative, it really does show how much people love Wander Over Yonder. This site is a great source in finding all sorts of
#SaveWOY-esc fan art. [Link]
Speaking of fans, Fans from all around the globe have been creatively expressing how much they would love Wander to get a 3rd season and how much they are heart broken to know that it won’t. Some comments are good and some not so good, but either way everyone was really hoping for another season. If you need anymore proof just head on over here. [Link]
Right now on the official #SaveWOY Tumblr page they are hosting this big event called Operation: FAN BOOM. What this is all about is that fans must make a short video or take a photo of themselves holding a
#SaveWOY
sign saying “Save Wander Over Yonder” and then send their videos/photos via email to savewoy@gmail.com, and for those who are camera shy or don’t have the right equipment this event also accepts pictures, just as long as they have either “Save Wander Over Yonder” or “
#SaveWOY” on it. If any of you would like to participate then i suggest going to this link that should tell you all about the event. [Link] You better hurry cause it may end on June 30th.
It gives me so much hope knowing that even Craig McCracken and his crew want their show to get a 3rd season! Where they would sometimes give out a few hints on what the 3rd season had in stores to the fans, well mostly Dave Thomas and Frank Angones. Craig has even acknowledge how much the fans are willing to help save his show. [Link]
Now on with more events, the same person who worked on the SaveWOY fan map has been working on this project called 200 Reasons To SaveWOY, which is where people send their reasons as to why they want to save Wander to Peepsqueak so that the person can write down each of their reasons on pieces of paper which then get mailed off to the people who are in charge of Disney XD. The event might of already ended, but you can go to their page to see any info. [Link]
Not too long ago a campaign site called Save Disney Shows which is a site that specials in reviving Disney TV series has offered to help our cause in saving Wander Over Yonder, but for a while now the fans have been trying to find a leader for the unofficial #SaveWOY page that Save Disney Shows was kindly enough to make for us. So if you know anyone who knows how to use HTML and would like to run the #SaveWOY page please go to the Save Disney Shows site and let them know!
A while ago someone made a
#SaveWOY
page on a site called Thunderclapto help spread awareness around the internet about the cause. It managed to reach it’s goal to over 500 supporters and has socially reached up to 235,360 people. Not sure if it will do much, but it’s good to know that
#SaveWOY is reaching all though out the internet.
This isn’t really #SaveWOY related, but someone by the username commander-peepers has made a little survey all about Wander Over Yonder, such as favorite character or least favorite episode
Just a heads up on May 30th they will be a two new episodes of Wander Over Yonder called “the Hot Shot” and “the Night Out”, two of which might be Dominator episodes. So it’s very important that a lot of us watch the new episodes when they air.
I think that’s about all the info i have about the #SaveWOY movement. I’m glad to see that it’s still going strong. It may take awhile, but hopefully we’ll get the 3rd season that we always wanted if we all stick together and try to save the show however we can. Sometimes it can take months even years for a show to be revived. Take Kim Possible for example which took 6 months for another season to be announced thanks to it’s fans. Other examples can be seen in this page right here. [Link]
So no matter how things may seem hopeless never stop supporting #SaveWOY★
