In the vast landscape of animated television, some shows capture a cult following not just for what they accomplished, but for the lingering potential of what they could have become. Disney XD’s Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero falls squarely into this category. Created by Sam Levine and Jared Bush (who would later go on to co-direct Disney’s Zootopia and Encanto), the show premiered in 2014 as a high-octane, reality-bending adventure. It was weird, it was witty, and it boasted a voice cast that included Thomas Middleditch, Adam Devine, and Taran Killam.
It is chaotic. It is rushed in places. You can feel the gears of production straining under the weight of executive mandates. But it is also blisteringly creative. It is a love letter to genre fiction—sci-fi, fantasy, horror, noir—and a meditation on what it means to grow up.
