Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero is an American animated series produced by Disney Television Animation for Disney XD. The series debuted on December 5, 2014, as a preview, followed by the official premiere on February 13, 2015. The series was ordered on October 16, 2013, for a scheduled fall 2014 premiere.
The series' co-creator, Jared Bush, also co-wrote and co-directed Walt Disney Animation Studios' 2016 film Zootopia.
On April 22, 2015, it was announced that the series had been renewed for a second season.
On July 19, 2016, it was announced that the show would be ending after two seasons. The second season will air through 2017.
The series follows the adventures of Penn Zero, who unexpectedly inherits the job of his parents: being a Part-Time Hero. Penn must zap into various dimensions to take on the role of the hero in that world and save the day in their place. With the help of his friends, Boone, the Part-Time Wiseman, and Sashi, the Part-Time Sidekick, he must save the worlds from Rippen, a Part-Time Villain and Penn's art teacher, and his Part-Time Minion and principal of Penn's school, Larry. As shown in the 2016 Comic Con trailer, the second season will feature Penn trying to find two shards which will help triangulate the location of "The Most Dangerous World".
Penn doesn't want to celebrate Christmas because his parents won't be there. However, he is sent to the North Pole to fill in for Santa Claus to save Christmas.
When Penn and his team are zapped into an old west cowboy world where the cowboys ride dinosaurs, the town sheriff joins them on their mission to prove he still has what it takes.
Penn, Boone, and Sashi are zapped into a world of living stuffed-animals to save the town's mayor from giant babies.
Penn and Boone's friendship is put to the test when they both fall for a beautiful alien princess that they must escort though the jungle back to her tribe.
When Penn, Boone, and Sashi are zapped into a world where everyone has superpowers, Penn learns that you don't have to have superpowers to be a hero.
Exhausted from recent missions, Penn is relieved when he is zapped into a seemingly ordinary job as a food court employee in a mall, but it turns out that Penn and his team are in an alternate world where a zombie apocalypse is taking place.
When Penn, Boone, and Sashi are zapped into a clown world as clown cops, Sashi must tap into her silly side to save the mission.
Penn becomes concerned that Sashi takes her role as sidekick too seriously. Meanwhile, he and his team are zapped into a new world as spaceship heroes to save a starship from destruction, but the mission is complicated when Sashi accidentally turns Penn into a weird space animal.
