A younger Waldo (voiced by Joshua Rush) is a Wanderer-in-training under the tutelage of the eccentric mentor Wizard Whitebeard. Working closely with his junior-level partner Wenda (voiced by Creator/HaleyTju ), the two inquisitive kids solve various missions across the world, in an effort to earn their Wanderer stripes and gathering Magic Keys in the process.

* ShoutOut: Thanks to taking place during a comic book and kaiju festival in Tokyo, "Big in Japan" is one to Franchise/SuperSentai, Anime/SailorMoon, Franchise/PowerRangers, and Main/HumongousMecha series in general.

* NiceHat: Both Waldo and Odlulu wear nice spiffy hats. Waldo's is notable as apparently he can stuff anything into it from a bunch of spices to the suitcase that teleports him and Wenda everywhere.

* {{Meganekko}}: Odlulu. Waldo could qualify as a male example.

Not to be confused with the similarly named older adaptation ''WesternAnimation/WheresWally1991: [[AnimatedAdaptation The Animated Series]]''.

* ArtisticLicenseArt: In episode "Once upon a time in Denmark" the iconic Copenhage statue of The Little Mermaid looks nothing like the orginal, which is strange for an educational show. Possible explanation of the change may be do to the fact that the actual statue has nude breasts and is overall far removed from how children imagine mermaids.

** When both Waldo and Wenda hear about trolls causing chaos in Reykjavík in Iceland their first asumption is that they have to be dealing with pranksters in costumes since "trolls are only fun legends". Its takes them a while to realise that the trolls in question are the real deal.

* CastOfSnowflakes: The TitleSequence's final seconds demonstrates a massive crowd of unique extras, recurring, and main characters, at Whitebeard's headquarters, featured in the series. Every one of them reflects a unique visual trait related to their culture, profession, or hobby. A very modern take on the similarly classic page spread format of the books, wrapping up with Waldo revealing himself.
