Total Drama World Tour (often shortened as TDWT and formerly titled Total Drama, the Musical) is the third season of the Total Drama series. The series' extension was commissioned by Teletoon from the producers, Fresh TV.[1] The season's elements and plot structure is largely based on The Amazing Race, with the semi-final episode being a direct parody of the reality series.

In this season, fifteen returning contestants and two (later three) new contestants are taken on a trip around the world, and compete in cultural themed challenges of countries they visit. An added twist in this season is that they are required to break spontaneously into song, or else be immediately eliminated. The original cast from this and past seasons do not compete in the next season, Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, as there is a new cast. However, nine of these original contestants each have a cameo in the next season, while seven of them return to compete again in the fifth season, Total Drama All-Stars.[2]

A spin-off series based on this season, The Ridonculous Race, premiered in September 2015.

Plot

[edit]

As with the previous seasons, fifteen returning contestants and two new ones (Alejandro and Sierra, later three with the addition of Blaineley) partake in an elimination-based competition for the grand prize of C$1,000,000 (US$731,485.00), led by series host Chris McLean (Christian Potenza).

In this season, contestants are taken around the world throughout international based challenges and are required to break into song whenever Chris rings a special chime (usually forced and when a mishap happens; Bridgette gets stuck to a pole, the 15 contestants remaining fall off the plane onto Japan, the final four are attacked by a condor, etc.), or face instant elimination. There are 30 songs in total, and every episode takes place in a different location.

As the contestants are eliminated, they take the "Drop of Shame".

This season's entire plot structure and elements is expanded into a related series called Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race, which aired in 2015. This series also takes place around the world and also features eighteen competitors (teams) like Total Drama World Tour, however whereas World Tour was still organized like Survivor, The Ridonculous Race was based on The Amazing Race.[3]

Heather manages to trick Alejandro, bringing them to their ultimate downfall in the game.
Alejandro's ending: (Canada, Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Africa, Denmark, Sweden, and Hungary). Despite outsmarting Alejandro and kicking him down the volcano on a block of ice, Heather accidentally drops Alejandro's tribute into the volcano, meaning he wins on a technicality. A feral Ezekiel appears and attacks Chris for the case. Everyone runs from the erupting volcano, trampling Alejandro, who asks if he is going to get his money. Then, Alejandro is completely covered in lava flowing down the mountain.

Post-credits scene: After the credits, Chris placed Alejandro into the Drama Machine after he was trampled and burned so he could sign release forms. Then, he arises and asks Chris if the money is safe and Chris tells him about its fiery demise, causing him to shout in horror, parodying Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

Episode finale variations

[edit]

The show's producers created two alternate endings for the final episode, such that the winner seen in one country's broadcasts is the runner-up in other countries (and vice versa) where the show airs. Heather was shown as the first winner when Australia aired the season for the first time worldwide.[citation needed] Heather was also depicted as the winner in airings from Brazil, France, Israel, Italy, Latin America, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, Portugal, Serbia, Singapore, Spain (including Catalonia), and in the United States.[citation needed] Canada then aired Alejandro as the winner, which was later aired in Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, South Africa, and in Sweden.[citation needed]

Characters

[edit]

The main Total Drama World Tour cast consists of host Chris McLean, assistant Chef Hatchet, and the contestants. The remaining contestants from Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action also appear in the show but serving in lesser capacities as commentators on The Aftermath.

Production

[edit]

The season began production in 2009 when Fresh TV commissioned Teletoon to order new Total Drama episodes for an upcoming third season.[1] This season was to be called Total Drama: The Musical when it first entered production. Keith Oliver and Chad Hicks directed this new season while two new voice actors, Marco Grazzini and Annick Obonsawin had to be hired if they wanted to voice the two new characters, Alejandro and Sierra. The season's title was later changed to the current title, Total Drama World Tour in 2010 upon the airing of Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special due to the singing no longer being the main focus for this season.

Reception

[edit]

Awards and accolades

[edit]

Total Drama World Tour won numerous awards in 2011, from such outlets as the ToonZone Awards and the KidScreen Awards. At the ToonZone Awards, it won "Best Foreign Series", "Best Music Score on a TV Series", and "Best Voice Actress" for Annick Obonsawin. It was additionally nominated for "Best Original Song" for Oh My Izzy (sung by Scott McCord and Megan Fahlenbock), and "Best Voice Actor" for Carter Hayden.[19] In the 2011 KidScreen Awards, the season won "Best Animated Series", "Best Voice Talent", and "Best Tweens/Teens Program".[20]

Critical reception

[edit]

Despite the many accolades and the enormous fan appraisal that still goes on to this day, and critical acclaim,[21] some events of this season were severely criticized, such as the under-use of characters who had smaller roles in the preceding seasons, and the overuse of characters who had already won a preceding season or, at the very least, made it far into them. Other aspects of the season that had a negative reception were the creator's handling of Ezekiel (where he was turned into a feral monster over time), as many fans felt he was not given jusitifable character development; the constant losing streak of Team Victory and the love triangle between Duncan, Courtney and Gwen. The love triangle was eventually addressed in a video with the show's creators on Christian Potenza's YouTube channel, revealing that the breaking up of Duncan and Courtney was actually a network request, rather than a decision on the creator's part.[22] Total Drama World Tour currently holds a 7.8 on Metacritic, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[23]

Media

[edit]

DVD releases

[edit]

Australia is the only country that released Total Drama World Tour on home video, which was released on a Region 4 DVD. The first part of the season was released in a Collection 1 DVD on April 3, 2013[24] while the second half of the season was released in a Collection 2 DVD on August 7, 2013.[25]

Online website

[edit]

Teletoon hosted a Total Drama World Tour based website starting in 2010 called Total Drama Online where people could play games and earn badges to win prizes, but was only available in Canada.[26] The site was then replaced with universal games available to everyone in 2013, but removed all special features from the site.[citation needed]
