Ironically enough, despite its pedigree, the series would go on to be the [[ShortRunner shortest-lived animated series]] produced by Disney Television Animation, premiering its sole, 13-episode season on June 3rd, 2017 with very little fanfare and airing all its episodes over the course of two weeks. It's considered something of a CreatorsOddball in the Disney TVA canon, due to its humour and style resembling a Nicktoon more so than a modern-day Disney show, along with its premiere being overshadowed by the hype of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017''. However, it has come to be appreciated in recent years for its kooky plots and generally light-hearted tone.

The show follows junior high students Zeke (Creator/TomKenny) and Marsha ([[VideoGame/BoxxyQuest Catie Wayne]]), who inadvertently find themselves spending summer vacation in the company of their lab partner, the enthusiastic yet eccentric inventor Billy Dilley ([[DescendedCreator voiced by Springer]]), after a mishap with his science fair project "The Cheeserator" sends them hurtling deep into the earth's core. The trio (with Billy's pet rat Anaximander tagging along for the ride) eventually wind up in Subterrania-Tania, a strange and exotic fantasy world, which leads to many adventures exploring and adapting to this bizarre new environment whilst finding a way to fix Billy's invention, which will eventually help them get back on the surface.

** A more accurate comparison would be ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' (which Aaron Springer previously worked on), ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'', or ''WesternAnimation/The7D''.
** It's also the third in Disney's unofficial "Summer Vacation" trilogy, following ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' and ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' (which each premiered five years apart).
