"The Bad Hatter" is an episode of Wander Over Yonder.
Synopsis[]
Lord Hater gets more than he bargained for when he steals Wander’s hat in order to impress Lord Dominator.
Plot[]
After another failed attempt to impress Lord Dominator, Lord Hater and Commander Peepers flee from her ship and end up flying over a planet that Wander and Sylvia are sleeping on. The rush of their ship removes Wander's hat and ends up on their ship. Wander awakens, initially oblivious to his missing hat, until Sylvia points it out to him. Peepers sends Hater to his room where he discovers the hat and decides to use it to try and win over Dominator's affection. He asks the hat for what he needs and it gives him self help books which angers him.
Meanwhile, Wander is in a panic over the loss of his hat which Sylvia tries to calm him down over it. She takes him into town to try and buy a new hat, but all of them do not satisfy him. They find a red variant of his hat, but it stresses out Wander even more. Hater decides to torture the hat until it gives him exactly what he wants: which in this case are girly objects. Peepers discovers what Hater has been doing and takes the hat with the intent to have it give him weapons. The two tussle with the hat until it finally begins to rapidly spew out a tidal wave of weapons and girly objects.
As Wander resigns himself to going hatless, he and Sylvia spot Hater's ship spewing items. Wander deduces that that is where his hat is and reveals to Sylvia that he stole the hat from a nation that was having a civil war over its power. He slowly gained the hat's trust and it has been his constant companion since. They climb the mountain of items and ask Hater and Peepers for the hat back which they immediately oblige as it is causing them more trouble than it is worth. The hat stops spitting items and Wander takes the hat back as he and Sylvia continue their travels.
