Wonder Quest is an edutainment children’s web series from Disney’s Maker Studios. It is created by Joseph Garrett, a prominent YouTube commentator who posts videos primarily set in the sandbox game, Minecraft. The series is scripted by Patrick Muhlberger, Ryan Burns, and Garrett and produced by Patrick Mulberger. The Minecraft educational content was initially developed by Adam Clarke.
Featured on the Wonder Quest YouTube channel, Maker Studios describes the series as a spinoff series of Joseph Garrett’s main YouTube channel, starring the character Stampy Cat. Citing the runaway success of Minecraft as inspiration for Wonder Quest at the MIPTV television industry conference in Cannes, Garrett states that “If you take their engagement and put it into a more productive space like education or the arts, they’re going to be involved in that, they’re going to be engaged.”.
Wonder Quest premiered on April 25, 2015. As of December 2016, the series has garnered over 101 million views. The first episode of season 2 was released on August 20, 2016.
Set in the town of Wonderberg, Stampy Cat and his newly acquainted friend, Wizard Keen, try to save the town from his evil and not so funny wizard brother, Heinous. Together, they set on an adventure to piece back together the 5 wonderments of the wonder gem to bring back wonder in Wonderberg, but encounter trouble along the way.
Stampy Cat and Wizard Keen return after receiving a mysterious invitation to the Society of Wonderers. As new members of the society, the Head Wonderer, Priscilla, charges the duo to spread wonder and guard Wonderberg from evil forces. The reassembled team encounters Rama, a rejected member of the society who changed the past to stop the world's greatest wonderers from wondering. Using a time machine, the team sets off on another adventure to bring back wonder to the present.
Wonder Quest was first announced by Garrett at the MIPTV television industry conference in April 2015. The series is a partnership between Joseph Garrett and Maker Studios. YouTube secured rights as the exclusive distributor of the series, as its parent company Google pushed for a wider coverage of children’s content on their video streaming site.
