I almost turned 13 when Adventure Time premiered, and now I’m almost 23. I saw early promos for it in 2009 and I thought it looked weird but the later promos left a better impression.
I saw the show when it premiered because I regularly watched Cartoon Network mainly for Pokémon and their original shows. I was already an avid cartoon viewer but thanks to this show It proved to me that TV cartoons for kids can be very artistic visually, narratively and aurally. Other shows that I loved would follow like Gravity Falls, Harvey Beaks, and Hilda.
I’m already looking forward to the specials because I’m planning to get HBO Max.
