Star vs. the Forces of Evil is an American animated fantasy television series produced by Disney Television Animation.[3] The first episode was shown on January 18, 2015 on Disney Channel as a special preview, and the series officially premiered on March 30, 2015 on Disney XD.[1] The show was created by Daron Nefcy, who had worked on storyboards for Wander Over Yonder and Robot and Monster. Nefcy became the second woman to create an animated series for Disney Television Animation (the first being Sue Rose, who created Pepper Ann), and the first woman to create a Disney XD series.[4][5] On February 12, 2015, Disney renewed the series for a second season prior to its premiere on Disney XD.[1]

Plot

Star Butterfly is a magical princess from the dimension of Mewni who, on her 14th birthday, receives the family heirloom wand. However, after she accidentally sets fire to her castle, her parents decide that a safer option is to send her to Earth as a foreign exchange student. She befriends Marco Diaz and lives with his family while attending Echo Creek Academy. They must deal with everyday school life while protecting her wand from falling into the hands of Ludo, a villain from Mewni who commands an army of monsters. Star and the folks from Mewni are able to travel across dimensions using "dimensional scissors" that can open portals.

Characters

Main characters

  • Star Butterfly (voiced by Eden Sher)[6] - The titular character is a magical princess from the dimension Mewni. On her 14th birthday, she is given the family heirloom, but after she causes a big accident, she is sent to the Earth dimension as a foreign exchange student. She then lives with the Diaz family.[1][7] She enjoys exploring and being away from her parents and their pressure to make her into a perfect princess.[8] Nefcy had originally designed Star as a fourth-grader obsessed with Sailor Moon and wanting to become a magical girl despite not having any powers. The design was initially just her with heart cheeks and the devil horns came later. By the time she pitched the idea to Disney she had made the character older, and an executive suggested she would have actual magical powers, leading to the current foreign exchange student concept. Nefcy says Star is very much like her, and that she has a lot of flaws and aspects of being a real girl.[9] Star is Eden Sher's first voice acting role. Sher describes Star as Disney's first-ever kick-butt princess and identifies with her a lot: "she's always wrong. She's always messing up. But at the same time, this character has such a good heart. Star is fiercely loyal when it comes to her friends and never backs down from a fight. There's so much going on there. And that's what makes this character so much fun to voice."[10]
  • Marco Diaz (voiced by Adam McArthur)[6] - Marco is a 14-year-old boy who becomes Star's best friend and partner in their inter-dimensional adventures. Prior to meeting Star, he was known as a safe kid but thought of himself as a bad boy. He helps Star during their fights against the villains.[8] Nefcy originally conceived of Marco to be a kid obsessed with Dragon Ball Z and karate. After Star's character was changed to be a foreign exchange student, she felt Marco's character needed to balance out Star's, so he became more of a straight man yet is still quirky. Some of Marco's character was based on Nefcy's husband. She likes that McArthur portrays him away from being nerdy or unlikeable, and that Marco is smart and thinking of things.[9]
  • Ludo (voiced by Alan Tudyk)[6] - Ludo is Star's nemesis from Mewni. He plans to snatch Star's wand and use its powers to take over the universe. He is a short, dark grayish-green monster with a round head and a beak. He wears a cap made out of the upper part of a creature's skull. He commands an army of monsters,[8] many of whom are anthropomorphic mixes of animals and who are occasionally spotlighted in an episode:
    • Beard Deer (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) - A light blue deer-like monster with a beard.
    • Bearicorn (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - A brown bear with a unicorn horn.
    • Big Chicken (voiced by Adam McArthur) - A large white chicken.
    • Buff Frog (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) - A frog-man who acts as Ludo's spy.
    • Emmitt (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) - A humanoid with the horns and hindquarters of a bull.
    • Lobster Claws (voiced by Brian Posehn) - A lobster-like creature.
    • Man Arm - A large green alligator monster with a human left arm.
    • Spike Balls - A creature with spiked mace balls for hands.
    • Three-Eyed Potato Baby - A humanoid who wears a brown shirt.

Recurring characters

  • Mr. and Mrs. Diaz (voiced by Artt Butler and Nia Vardalos)[6] - Marco's parents, who host Star while she is on Earth.[1]
  • Flying Princess Pony Head (voiced by Jenny Slate)[6] - Star's best friend from Mewni is a floating unicorn head.[11] She is described as sassy, sarcastic, and mischief-making. She does not get along with Marco and is sometimes jealous of him when he interacts with Star.[8] Nefcy said that Pony Head originated from an early story of Star where the latter was a fourth-grader and was discouraged during her attempts to recover a stolen bike; an image of Pony Head appeared and told Star not to give up.[9]
  • Ferguson and Alfonso (voiced by Nate Torrence[6] and Matt Chapman) - Marco's two friends at Echo Creek. Ferguson has orange hair and enjoys making belly faces. Alfonso has curly hair and wears glasses.[12]
  • Jackie Lynn Thomas (voiced by Grey Griffin) – A skateboarding classmate who is Marco's crush since they were little.
  • Miss Skullnick (voiced by Dee Dee Rescher)[6] – Star and Marco's homeroom and math teacher at Echo Creek Academy. She is accidentally turned into a troll by Star in the episode "Match Maker" and then retains her form for the series.
  • King Butterfly (voiced by Alan Tudyk)[6] – Star's father and the king of Mewni.[1]
  • Queen Butterfly (voiced by Grey Griffin) – Star's mother and the queen of Mewni.
  • Toffee (voiced by Michael C. Hall) – First appearing in "Fortune Cookies," he joins Ludo's gang as an evil efficiency expert -- though Toffee has his own agenda.[13][14][15]

Background and production

Nefcy said she originally created Star as a girl who wanted to be a magical girl like Sailor Moon, and Marco as a guy who was obsessed with Dragon Ball Z and karate; and they would be enemies instead of friends. Star did not have any actual magical powers but make things happen by her determination.[16] Nefcy began pitching the show when she was in her third year of college when Cartoon Network had solicited a bunch of pilot shows.[9] As a reflection of her own life, Nefcy originally placed Star in the fourth grade when she was still obsessed with Sailor Moon, but later made the character to be older by the time she proposed it to Disney.[9][17] An executive then suggested the idea that Star would have actual magical powers, which she worked into the current version, along with the different dimension, the foreign exchange student, and birthright ideas.[16] Nefcy said that the overall concept has evolved over about six years.[17]

In addition to Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z, Nefcy said the she was influenced by the anime shows Magic Knight Rayearth, Revolutionary Girl Utena and Unico, the last of which featured a pink unicorn. She also cited non-anime shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer,[16] and was influenced by indie comic series such as Scott Pilgrim and The Dungeon.[17]

One of the concepts she likes about the show is that it doesn't make high school the most important experience for teenagers. She also likes that Star does her own thing instead of being concerned about fitting in.[16] Nefcy did not want the gimmick about keeping the magic powers a secret from others as typical of magical girl shows, so she had the students already know about it and Marco's parents as well. She also portrays Star as not really a superhero as she does not specifically go after super-villains except when they attack her, and that she doesn't really save people.[9]

Storyboarding and design are done in Los Angeles.[17] In describing the process, Nefcy said that the show is storyboard-driven, with each episode mapped out by the storyboard artists. The storyboarders also do the writing, taking a two-page outline and turning it into a full script. A storyboard for 11 minutes would require about 2000 drawings to be done in a six-week period.[18] After pre-production in the US, the first season animation was done at Mercury Filmworks in Ottawa, Canada. Mercury had also done Wander Over Yonder and the Mickey Mouse series.[17] For the second season, the animation was done in the Philippines.[18]

The theme song was done by Brad Breeck, who also did Gravity Falls' opening theme; Nefcy said "when we were listening to it we didn't know, because we just listened blind". Brian Kim was chosen among a group of about ten people as the composer.[9][19]

Promotion and release

The show's title sequence was promoted at Comic-Con 2014 six months prior to its scheduled broadcast premiere. As a result, the footage was uploaded by fans to YouTube who then started generating fan art and fan fiction.[17] The first episode premiered on Disney Channel in January 2015. The positive reaction on social media has prompted Disney XD to order a second season of the series in February 2015, six weeks ahead of its launch of the series on Disney XD in March.[20] Disney sitcom actors Olivia Holt and Kelli Berglund participated in promoting the series the weeks before its Disney XD premiere, with Holt dressing up as Star.[21][22]

Adam McArthur, the voice of Marco, stated on Twitter that Season 2 would premiere in the spring or summer of 2016.[23]

Star vs. the Forces of Evil made its international debut on Disney XD (Canada) on April 6, 2015.[24] The series later premiered on Disney XD (United Kingdom and Ireland) on April 16, 2015,[25] Disney Channel (France) on June 3, 2015,[26] Disney Channel (Korea) on June 15, 2015,[27] Disney XD (Germany) on July 20, 2015,[28] Disney XD (Australia & New Zealand) on August 3, 2015,[29] Disney XD (Africa) on October 5, 2015,[30] and Disney Channel (Europe) on October 12, 2015.[31] The show will also debut on Disney XD (Spain) on October 24, 2015[32] and Disney Channel (Asia) on November 8, 2015.[33]

Reception

Reviewing the pilot episode of the series, Kevin Johnson of The A.V. Club said that the show was something children could have a lot of fun with, noting how the show follows current trends in western animation "towards large-eyed characters and quirky visual trends." Johnson stated that Star vs. the Evil Forces "excels on wild, silly, and clever set-pieces to bring the laughs and action," but expected that adult viewers won't get much out of it.[50] Furthermore, the premiere of Star vs. the Forces of Evil became the most-watched animated series debut in Disney XD’s history.[51]

In reviewing episodes from the first season, Marcy Cook of The Mary Sue described the show as a blend of others such as Invader Zim and a "sanitized Ren and Stimpy, with great appeal to tween and teen girls as well some laugh out loud moments for adults. She said "It’s really cool to see a girl who is into cuteness and rainbows also kick-ass and enjoy it." Cook was bothered by the short episodes that made the plot seem rushed or underdeveloped. Cook was bugged by Marco's retconned personality from the pilot episode where he was a safety conscious kid to the series where he was a martial arts fight seeker.[34]

Awards and nominations

The episode "Party with a Pony" was showcased in the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in June 2015.[52][53]
