Eric Kohn. In early February , just a few months after Cartoon Network notified the team behind its most surprising breakout hit that the show was canceled, the cast finished their last round of voice work.
The final episodes were written, and the saga of Finn and Jake in the magical, post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo came to a close as the cast and crew scattered to new projects. The fruits of their labor will gradually unfurl on Cartoon Network until — although the timing remains uncertain.
Fans must wait for the slow march to the finale, but the creative team is moving on. Not its reclusive creator, Pendleton Ward, who left his top job on the show two years ago, and certainly not Cartoon Network, which never knew quite how to handle its success.
People at the network were scratching their heads. Since Ward first launched the saga as a surreal short film in , its episodes have oscillated between the deep, existential yearnings of diverse characters waking up to the world and sophomoric gags, sometimes within the span of a few minutes. Even as the ancillary potential of the show grew, with toys and costumes, comic books and video games, it expanded beyond the narrow parameters of the Cartoon Network viewership.

Crazy credits Some episodes have different versions of the opening theme. In Food Chain, the opening has all the characters with Finn and Jake's faces and the theme song is sung by a different singer as well.
Alternate versions Episodes shown many countries particularly UK and Australia have contain many of the more vulgar and sensitive scenes edited out. In fact, some of the more vulgar and violent episodes have never aired in some countries as well.
However, DVDs and some syndicated airings are uncut. User reviews Review. Top review. It's Awesome. For a kids show, Adventure Time has surprising mature and deep themes, making it a joy to watch for all ages. The characters are all so diverse and unique and the voice acting is perfect.
For the most part they are light hearted and funny, but as the show gradually reveals their backstories and flaws, it adds quite a bit of depth and even sadness at times. This allows them to feel real and relatable despite the supernatural setting.
What I enjoy most about Adventure Time is that even though the episodes seem random and disconnected, they all help build up a rich and diverse world and reveal many subtle ideas and story arcs that are massively paid of in the future. It is a show that leaves me smiling every time I watch it, with a heartwarming display of friendship, morality and forgivenss. In addition, it is also hilarious and full of clever, memerable one liners.
For me, the only thing holding this show back from being a masterpiece is that it has a few boring and even uncomfortable episodes that I don't feel like are representative of how good the show normally is. Despite this, I love this show and quite simply, its awesome. FAQ 4. Which one is Finn and which one is Jake? Who are Finn and Jake? When does Adventure Time take place? Adventure Time. View source.

I mean, we would basically just use whatever characters we liked, but if you saw that a character got a good reaction, you might be more tempted to use them.
Not in an exploitative way. Muto: We have characters that are, like, super divisive. Sorcher: Pen is highly intelligent, very, very thoughtful and empathetic and shy, shy -- and clearly a person who had never had to run an enterprise, which is what a television production is.
When there was talk of turning it into an episode, I was eager to get to work on it. And by doing this one episode, you could see what all the other episodes would be if they were Fionna and Cake instead of Finn and Jake. I wanted to give you all the information you would need to translate every other episode into that.
Everything just feels so considered. Sorcher: The show got more serial, it got a little bit darker, it went into more intense themes, and it did travel to a slightly different audience than when it started.
But by then you had a group who had masterfully succeeded in producing something new. I felt they had earned the right to tell the stories they wanted to tell. Pott: I felt very new, like I was walking into a high school in the last year.
Sorcher: "Adventure Time" was playing less and less on Cartoon Network, yet we were moving towards a large volume of episodes. So we were already an anomaly. Muto: When we picked the last episodes, I tried to make it so that a lot of them could function as the last episode for that character. Like this could be the last Tree Trunks episode, that could be the last Lemongrab episode.
Olson: Adam Muto had a really great way of putting it, that the ending of the show was getting stretched and stretched and stretched out because of how softly they let us know.
Muto: I freaked out a little because endings are so hard on TV shows. And I'm going to turn off my Twitter when the episode airs. I feel like we were able to have moments of what the show always was and things that were important to us that, regardless of reaction, I think will be satisfying to the people that made it.
I would be so happy to come to work and brainstorm with him and sit down and draw on paper and pitch these stories with Post-its tacked up to the wall, just like they did in the s with the stick and the song and the dance, the most traditional way of doing cartoons.
DiMaggio: The last day we recorded we had to do the final song that Rebecca Sugar wrote. I was a wreck when I first had to sing it and I was a wreck when I heard her sing it in front of 2, people at Comic-Con. And I feel like that relates to animation as a concept, because you experience animation the way you experience time.
You see one drawing at a time, you see them fly by and it creates this illusion that these characters are moving. You have to see it come and go in order to experience it.
