It is the first animated series airing on Disney Channel and Disney XD whose creator is a woman named Daron Nefcy. The development of the series is done by Gibran Pena, Dave Wasson, and Jordana Arkin.
Like every animated series has one central character, Star vs. the Forces of Evil has Star Butterfly, showing her adventures.

When Star Butterfly comes to earth, she develops a friendship with Marco Diaz who is a human (voiced by Adam McArthur) and becomes his roommate. Now she starts leading a half normal life in a fictional town in Los Angeles. There she goes to school and makes new friends. In the whole season 1 of Star vs the Forces of Evil, we will see how Star and Marcos traverse through faraway dimensions carrying measured scissors all to keep Ludo, Mewman monster, away from stealing the magic wand of Star.
As the animated series progresses further, more new characters become friends and foes to Star and Marcos. Both of them travel to more strange and savage dimensions. Star vs the Forces of Evil adheres to the fixed 11-minute duration of each episode for all the first three seasons. The fourth season did extend to some more half-hour episodes.
The animated series was green-flagged in 2013 for Disney Channel, with the airing of the first episode as a preview on 18th January after two years.

Story plot

She is legally entitled to the royal throne of the Butterfly Kingdom. On the occasion of her 14th birthday, Star is given the family heirloom wand according to tradition. She is known to be a brash and turbulent child by her royal family.
When Star blazes off the family castle accidentally, her parents decide to send her as a foreign exchange student to the earth where she can continue her training of magic. They consider it as the safer option to go with. When Star comes to earth, she befriends Marcos at Echo Creek Academy. He is a resident of a Los Angeles suburb with his family.
And then begins the sequence of misadventures. Now there is one important task for Star which is she has to keep using the dimensional scissors that can result in the opening of the portals. But more than that both Star has to protect her magic wand with the help of her friends to ward off the reach of Ludo, an evil birdman and commander of his gang of monsters.
When the series moves further it introduces more new villains in the animated series. One such is Toffee, a strange monster. Before the much emphasis was on saving the magic wand from the clutches of monster Ludo, but later the plot shifts from it and highlights multiple conflicts moving around prejudice against monsters. Besides this focus is also put on the origins and supremacy rule of Mewni.
