World of Quest is a Canadian animated series based on the graphic novel series of the same name by Jason T. Kruse. The series was produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment, in association with Teletoon Canada Inc. and Kids' WB!. It appears to be a parody of the fantasy genre that blends swords, sorcery and technology, in the vein of Masters of the Universe. It premiered on March 15, 2008 on Kids' WB on The CW in the United States and in Canada on Teletoon on August 10, 2008 as a preview, with regular airings starting on September 1, 2008.[1] The CW4Kids dropped it from its schedule after airing the first-season finale "Search For Power" on June 14, 2008. It was the last series to be produced for the Kids WB block. The remaining episodes can be seen on Netflix Instant Streaming.

The show aired on Teletoon in Canada[2] and Cartoon Network (UK) in the UK.[3] It was also being shown on Disney XD in Poland and Latin America, and on Disney Channel in Russia and Hungary. In mid- September 2015, Disney XD Canada was airing reruns of the show. Since the rebranding of Disney XD Canada, from 2015-2016 it aired reruns on Family Chrgd.

The show was nominated for Best Children's and Youth Programme or Series by the Canadian Film and Television Production Association for their 2009 Indie Awards.[4]
