Star vs. the Forces of Evil is an American animated television comedy produced by Disney Television Animation.[2] The series premiered on January 18, 2015 on Disney Channel and will premiere March 30, 2015 on Disney XD.[3] The first images were shown in the Mercury Filmworks 2014 Demo Reel.[4]

The show was created by Daron Nefcy (CalArts alumni and former storyboard revisionist for Wander Over Yonder and Robot and Monster) who is the second woman to create an animated series for Disney Television Animation (the first being Sue Rose, who created Pepper Ann), and also the first woman to create a Disney XD series.[1]

On February 12, 2015, the series was renewed for a second season.[3]

Plot

After having skirmished with a number of dangerous monsters on her home dimension of Mewni, Star Butterfly is sent to Earth by her parents. She arrives in the town of Echo Creek to live with the Diaz family. However, rather than living a normal life, Star, with Marco Diaz, continues to battle villains throughout the universe and in their high school, mainly to protect her extremely powerful wand, an object that she is still yet to master.

Characters

Main characters

  • Star Butterfly (voiced by Eden Sher) - A magical teenage princess from the alternate dimension of Mewni who is sent to Earth to live with the Diaz family after using her family's prized wand to fight various monsters. She is shown as extremely opposite to what princesses should be like, as she fights monsters and gets overexcited. Using the wand, any thing she thinks, it creates, but she still has yet to master it. On Earth, she isn't quite used to customs there so Marco helps her.[5]
  • Marco Diaz (voiced by Adam McArthur) - The teenage son of the Diaz family. When Star arrives on Earth, she takes him on adventures to fight evil villains. Though Marco appoints himself as a "bad boy" he's got a heart for good and is willing to protect Star. He is extremely good at karate and loves the adventures Star takes him on.[5]

Supporting characters

  • Pony Head (voiced by Jenny Slate) - A floating unicorn head princess from the dimension of Uni who is Star's best friend. She usually gives bad advice to Star, hinting that she is the cause of Star's behavior.
  • Mr. Diaz (voiced by Artt Butler) - The father of Marco who likes puppies.
  • Mrs. Diaz (voiced by Nia Vardalos) - The mother of Marco. Like her husband, Mrs. Diaz likes puppies.
  • Miss Skullnick (voiced by Dee Dee Rescher) - The teacher at Echo Creek Academy who doesn't take her job seriously.
  • Ferguson (voiced by Nate Torrance) - A student at Echo Creek Academy who befriends Star.
  • King Butterfly (voiced by Alan Tudyk) - The father of Star Butterfly and the ruler of Mewmi. He and his wife have Star sent to Earth.
  • Queen Butterfly (voiced by Grey DeLisle) - The mother of Star Butterfly. She and her husband have Star sent to Earth. Queen Butterfly previously owned the Royal Magic Wand before it was handed down to Star.
  • King Pony Head (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) - The ruler of the Uni dimension and the father of Pony Head.

Villains

  • Ludo (voiced by Alan Tudyk) - The primary antagonist of the series. Ludo is a short, dark grayish-green monster with a beak-like mouth. He plans to obtain Star's wand so that he can take over the universe.
