The episode opened with a lighthearted party at Prismo the Wishmaster’s, and the appearance by the sarcastic Shelby (who only wants to score points with his girlfriend by getting her a pony) was one of the most amusing interactions in the episode. This is not to say that the premiere, a half-hour special composed of “Wake Up” and “Escape from the Citadel”, wasn’t funny. While most of these episodes have cut through their creepiness with a biting humor (usually aimed at its adult audience), the season six premiere was predominantly humorless and therefore the first truly distressing episode. I think it’s really sweet and universal and well-made.Adventure Time has commanded its place as Cartoon Network’s best animated show for four years now, and in that time it has given us many dark and disturbing episodes. The setting and stuff is kind of…it doesn’t matter, because the relationship would work in whatever world you put them in. It’s very real, like you’re eavesdropping on two people, or two kids. It’s very well-written, which is a hard thing to do. Kenny: When I hear Pen describe it like that, it makes sense, but for me…y’know, I’ve got kids that are super into the show, and for me my favorite part of the show is the back-and-forth and the repartee between Jake and Finn. I know a lot of adults have come up to me and said that it makes them feel like a kid again, and that’s really cool. It’s hard to describe, but to me it’s really just about a boy and his dog and they live in this post-apocalyptic world of magic and dungeons and monsters. Ward: Well, first of all, thanks so much for all those nice things you just said about it! And as for the question, uh, I dunno. But a gallery show filled with artwork based on a topic I had virtually no working knowledge of? And it’s a cartoon? Hmmm, not so certain.

A science-fiction themed show with artwork based on Brazil, Fantastic Planet, Star Trek 2, and Akira? I’m on board with that immediately, don’t even need to think about it. That show-a big-ass, sci-fi-themed spectacle that proved to be one of the biggest draws in Austin during SXSW’s opening weekend-had been flat-out amazing, and the fanboy in me was curious to see what new stuff might be on display during round two.īut the truth was, I’d never actually gotten around to watching much of Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time (not at length, anyway prior to this weekend, I’d only seen one or two episodes, and that was through the bits and pieces I’d glimpsed on YouTube or while flipping through channels). When it was announced that Pendleton Ward’s Adventure Time would be serving as the theme for the second-ever show at the Mondo Gallery in Austin, TX, I found myself in a unique position: as a longtime fan of both Mondo and the stable of artists they tend to work with, I was jazzed that a new show might be arriving so soon after the gallery’s March opening.
