Premise
Adventure Time follows the adventures of a boy, Finn the Human (voiced by Jeremy Shada), and his best friend and his foster brother Jake the Dog (John DiMaggio), who has magical powers to change shapes and sizes at will. Pendleton Ward, the creator of this series, describes Finn as "a fiery little boy with a strong moral". Jake, on the other hand, is based on Tripper Harrison, Bill Murray's character at Meatball . This means that while Jake is somewhat care-free, he will "sit [Finn] down and give him decent advice if he really needs it". Finn and Jake lived in post-apocalyptic Land Ooo, which was marred by a thousand-year-old nuclear war before the series. Throughout the series, Finn and Jake interact with the main characters, including: Princess Bubblegum (Hynden Walch), ruler of Candy Kingdom and a piece of gum; Ice King (Tom Kenny), a threatening but mostly misunderstood ice wizard; Marceline the Vampire Queen (Olivia Olson), a fan of vampire music and thousands of years old rock music; Lumpy Space Princess (Pendleton Ward), a melodramatic and immature princess made of "lumps"; BMO (Niki Yang), a robot-shaped video game console that lives with Finn and Jake; and Flame Princess (Jessica DiCicco), the element of fire and the ruler of the Kingdom of Fire.

Development
Concepts and creations
According to the creator of the Pendleton Ward series, the style of the event was influenced by the time of attending the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) and his experience working as author and storyboard artist about The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, the series running on the Cartoon Network from 2008 until 2010. In an interview with the Animation World Network , Ward said he was trying to combine subversive Adventure Time with a "lovely" moment, using the Hayao Miyazaki movie My Neighbor Totoro as an inspiration for the latter. Ward also named Home Movies and Dr. Katz, a Professional Therapist as it affects, primarily because the two events are "relaxed" and feature "dialogue that feel natural [and none] above [no] cartoonist and shrill."
The series can trace its origins back to an animated short movie for a stand-alone seven minutes of the same name (this brief will later be identified as a post facto event pilot). Ward created the short film almost entirely by himself, and concluded his production in early 2006. The film was first broadcast on Nicktoons Network on January 11, 2007, and was relaunched as part of a random anthology anthology show! Cartoon on December 7, 2008. After the initial release, the video became a viral hit on the Internet. Frederator Studios then launched the Adventure Time series into the Nicktoons Network, which rejected it twice. Finally, Nicktoons right to make the full series come to an end, and Frederator - the short animated production studio - put it up on another channel. One of the studios Frederator approached was Cartoon Network, which said it would be willing to produce a series if Ward could prove that it could be shortened into a full series while retaining elements of the pilot. Rob Sorcher, chief content officer at Cartoon Network, is very influential in getting the network to take a chance on the show; he recognized the series as "something that feels very indie... new comic-y [and]".
Ward and his production team are trying to "keep things good about the original short and fix [them]" while developing the series. His college friends Patrick McHale and Adam Muto (the last to be a storyboard artist and creative director, as well as the eventual runner) helped him to produce a rough storyboard featuring Finn and Princess Bubblegum going on a spaghetti-banquet date. Cartoon Network is not happy with this story and asks others, so Ward, McHale, and Muto made a storyboard for the episode "The Enchiridion!", Which was an attempt to emulate the original Nicktoons short style. This tactic proved successful, and Cartoon Network approved the first season in September 2008. "The Enchiridion!" is the first episode that goes into production.
Ward and his production team start storyboard episodes and write outline plots, but Cartoon Network is still worried about the direction of the new series. McHale later recalled that during the pitch episode entitled "Brothers in Insomnia" (which, for various reasons, was eventually removed) the room was filled by executives from Cartoon Network. The pitch went well, but the production staff were soon flooded with questions about the style nature of the series. Hoping to solve this problem, Cartoon Network management employs three veteran animators who have worked on SpongeBob SquarePants: Derek Drymon (who served as executive producer for the first season of Adventure Time ), Merriwether Williams (who served as news head editor for the first and second season), and Nick Jennings (who is the old serial art director). Thurop Van Orman, the creator of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack , was also hired to guide Ward and his staff during the first two seasons. Finally, the storyboard for "Prisoners of Love" succeeded in defusing many of the fears expressed by some Cartoon Network executives.
When production for the first season takes place, more artists are included. And "Ghostshrimp" Bandit, a freelance illustrator who also writes and a storyboard on Flapjack , is hired as a designer of the event's background; Ward told him to make an art background that clearly set the show "in the 'Shrimp Ghost World' '". Ghostshrimp designed prime locations, including Finn and Jake's homes, the Candy Kingdom, and the Ice Kingdom. The position of the main character designer was finally given to Phil Rynda, who held this role for two and a half seasons. The main production crew for the show (which included Ward and McHale) initially hesitated to take it with him, but they were immediately convinced by director Larry Leichliter, who assured them that Rynda was gifted and could draw in a variety of styles. With satisfied producers, Rynda quickly began designing characters that fit the "natural aesthetic pen". At the same time, he also tries to make simple designs "which can be fabricated and identified by children". In addition, Rynda and McHale began to craft artistic guides for the show, so the style of the animation will always be consistent. With many major production roles filled, Ward turned his attention to selecting storyboard artists for the first season. Finally, he formed a team consisting mostly of "inexperienced young people", many of whom he found on the Internet. Many of these people have backgrounds in indie comics, and Pendleton Ward calls them "smart intelligent people" who are ultimately responsible for incorporating more idiosyncratic and spiritual ideas into the series.
During the first four and a half seasons of the show, Ward served as a performer for Adventure Time . In an interview with Rolling Stone, Ward revealed that he has resigned from this role sometime during the fifth season. As an introvert person, he finds dealing with people every day to exhaust. After Ward's resignation from the post, Adam Muto became the new showrunner of the series. By the end of 2014, Ward continues to work on cartoons as storyboard artists and story writers. After November 2014, she stopped writing episode stories and focused on producing Movie Adventure Time . However, Ward is still browsing through stories and providing occasional feedback, and he goes on to storyboard for this series on a limited basis.
Production
Writing and storyboard
In terms of tone and genre, Ward has described the show as a "dark comedy", noting that he enjoys experiencing ambivalent emotions, such as "happy and afraid at the same time." He also cites the fantasy role roles of Dungeons and Dragons - where many of the show writers are worshipers - are an inspiration for the show. In the United States, the series is rated TV-PG; Ward said that he never wanted to push the boundaries of PG ratings, wrote in the book of Art of Ooo that he "never really thinks about ratings... we do not like things that are too much. " dirty. We love funny things and fun things. "Ward intends the show's world to have a coherent physical logic, and although magic exists in the story, the event's authors try to create an internal consistency in character interaction with the world.
In an interview with The A.V. The club, Ward said the writing process usually starts with the authors telling each other what they had done the previous week to find something funny to build. He also said, "A lot of the time, if we really get stuck, we'll start saying everything that comes to our mind, which is usually the worst thing, and then others will think it's horrible but it will give him a better idea and the ball starts spinning like that ". Due to the busy schedule of writing and coordinating the television series, the authors did not have time to play Dungeons and Dragons, but they still wrote stories they would "want to play D & D with". Sometimes, storyboard writers and artists get together and play writing games. One commonly used game is called a beautiful corpse; an author starts a story on a piece of paper, and another author tries to solve it. However, while some episodes (like the fifth season episode "Puhoy" and the sixth episode of the season "Jake the Brick") have been made using this game, Ward has admitted that his "ideas are usually terrible". Former storyboard artist and creative director Cole Sanchez said the episode script was created by extending the good ideas generated by this writing game, or based on the idea suggested by storyboard artists in the hope of being developed into an episode.
After the writer aired the story, his ideas were arranged into two or three pages outline containing "important taps". The episodes are then passed on to the storyboard artist (often referred to as "boarder"). While many cartoons are based on pitches scripts for network executives, Cartoon Network allows Adventure Time to "build their own team organically" and communicate using storyboards and animatics. Rob Sorcher says the new approach is approved because the company deals with "highly visual people", and that by using storyboards, writers and artists can learn and grow "by actually doing the work". The storyboard artists generally work on an episode in pairs, independent of other storyboards, which, according to freelance writer David Perlmutter in his book America Toons In, avenge the creative boredom and prevent episodes of "equally good content or tone ". The storyboard artists are given a week's time to "thumbnail" (roughly sketch) the storyboard and fill in complete details with action, dialogue, and jokes. The series audience and his creative director then review the storyboard and make notes. The artists are then given another week to implement the notes and to clear the episodes. Writing storyboards and revising usually takes up to a month.
Animation
After the revision of the writing, the voice actors will record their parts for the episode and the animatic will be compiled to reduce running time to eleven minutes as needed. Special artists then create prop designs, characters, and backgrounds. According to former main character designer Phil Rynda, most of this pre-production is done in Photoshop. While the design and coloring of the episodes is done in Burbank, California, animation is actually handled in South Korea by Rough Draft Korea or Saerom Animation. The making of episodes often takes between three and five months only. Animation is drawn handwritten on paper, which is then digitally compiled and painted with digital ink and paint. Executive producer Fred Seibert compared the show's animated style with Felix the Cat and various cartoons of Max Fleischer, but said his world was equally inspired by the "videogame world [sic]".
While episodes are being handled in South Korea, production crews in the United States are working to reclaim, musical judgment, and sound design. Upon completion, the animation is sent back to the United States, at that point inspected by the production crew, who look for an error in the animation or "things that do not animate the way [the staff] are meant". These problems are then fixed in Korea and the animation is completed. From story line to broadcasting, it takes between eight and nine months for each episode to be created; Because of this, several episodes are done simultaneously.
While most of the animated series' episodes by Korean animation studios, Adventure Time sometimes feature animators and guest directors. For example, the second episode of "Guardians of Sunshine" is partially played in 3-D to mimic the style of video games. The fifth season episode of "A Glitch is a Glitch" was written and directed by Irish filmmaker and writer David OReilly, and featured his distinctive 3-D animation. Animator James Baxter animation selects scenes and characters in both fifth episodes of season "James Baxter the Horse" as well as the eighth episode of "Horse & Ball" season. The sixth episode of the season "Food Chain" was written, in-storyboard, and directed by Japanese anime director Masaaki Yuasa, and animated entirely by Yuasa's own studio. The sixth episode of the other season, "Water Park Prank", features a Flash animation by David Ferguson. A stop-motion episode titled "Bad Jubies", directed by Kirsten Lepore, aired near his mid-seventh season. Finally, Alex and Lindsay Small-Butera, recorded for their web series Baman Piderman, donated animations for the eighth episode of the "Beyond the Grotto" season and the ninth season "Ketchup" episode.
Cast
The voice actors of this series include: Jeremy Shada (Finn the Human); John DiMaggio (Jake the Dog); Tom Kenny (The Ice King); Hynden Walch (Princess Bubblegum); and Olivia Olson (Marceline the Vampire Queen). Ward provides a voice for some minor characters and Lumpy Space Princess. Former storyboard artist Niki Yang voiced a BMO video game console in English, as well as Jake's girlfriend, Lady Rainicorn in Korean. Polly Lou Livingston, a friend of Pendleton Ward's mother, Bettie Ward, plays the voice of a small elephant named Tree Trunks.
Adventure Time members record their line together in group recording sessions rather than individually, with the aim of recording a natural-sounding dialogue. Hynden Walch has described the recording of this group as something similar to "doing a dramatic reading - a game that's really out there". The series regularly employs guest actors for small and repetitive characters, and crew members throw people with whom they are interested in working. For example, in the panel, both Adam Muto and Kent Osborne say crew Adventure Time are often looking for actors who have roles in Star Trek television programs: The Next Generation and to play various supporting or background characters.
Settings and mythology
The show is set in the fictional "Land of Ooo", in post-apocalyptic times about a thousand years after a nuclear holocaust called "The Great Mushroom War". According to Ward, the show took place "after the bomb fell and the magic returned to the world". Before the series is fully developed, Ward intends Tanah Ooo to be "magical". After the production of the episode "Business Time", in which icebergs containing reanimated entrepreneurs float to the surface of the lake, the show becomes explicitly post-apocalyptic; Ward said the production crew "just ran with it". Ward later described the setting as "candy on the surface and dark underneath," noting that he never intended the Mushroom War and the post-apocalyptic element to "hit the head in the show". He limits it to "cars buried underground in the background [and other elements that do not] raise eyebrows". Ward said the post-apocalyptic element of the series was influenced by the 1979 film Mad Max. Kenny mentions the way these elements were worked out in the "very filling" plot, and DiMaggio said, "It's clear Tanah Ooo has some problems".
The series has canonical mythology - or, plot and backstory comprehensively - which is expanded in various episodes. Backstory involves mainly the Mushroom War, the origin of the Lich main 'antagonist series, and the backstories of some of the main characters and recurring series. Ward said the details behind the Mushroom War and dark mythology of the series formed "a story worth telling", but he felt the show would "save him and keep dancing around how heavy the history-behind Ooo" was.
Title and music sequence
As Ward develops the sequence of series titles, the rough draft version consists of quick shots and sketches that are "just kind of crazy [and] unreasonable", which alludes to the theme of a strange adventure show. This draft includes "characters... just hit ghosts and random monsters, jump through anything and everything [and] there are many atomic bombs at the end". Ward later called this version "absolutely ridiculous". He sent the draft to Cartoon Network; they do not like it and want something more graphic like The Brady Bunch introduction. Inspired by the title sequence of The Simpsons
The eponymous theme song of the show is sung by Ward, accompanied by ukulele. This was first heard in the pilot episode; in that version Ward is accompanied by an acoustic guitar. For the versions used in the series, Ward is sung in a higher list to fit the higher ukulele range. The final version of the original theme song should be a temporary version. Ward said, "I recorded the lyrics for the opening title in the animatics room where we had this little microphone just so we could add it to the title and send it to the network.Later, we tried to re-record and I did not like it... I just liked the temporary ! "Since the final theme song of this series was originally recorded as a temporary track, the ambient sound can be difficult. For example, the sound of Derek Drymon typing can be heard while Jake walks through the Ice Kingdom. According to Ward, most of the series music has a similar "hiss and sand" as one of the original composers of the show, Casey James Basichis, "lives on the pirate ship he built in an apartment [and] you can hear floorboards screeching and lots of sound other strange ". As the show progresses, Basichis' friend Tim Kiefer joins the show as an additional composer. Both are now working together in the music.
The title sequence and theme song of this event remain consistent throughout its journey, with six exceptions. During the episodes of Fionna and Cake (season 3 "Fionna and Cake", season five "Bad Little Boy", season six "The Who Who Wanted Everything", season eight "Five Short Tables", and season nine's "Fionna and Cake and Fionna ") This series runs a different intro sequence that reflects the original, with the main exception that all characters are bended by gender, and the theme is sung by former revisionist Natasha Allegri's story. Likewise, the intro to the series' three miniseries each unique: the introduction to Marceline-centric Stakes (2015) puts most of the emphasis on Marceline, and the theme song sung by Olivia Olson; introduction to Islands (2017) adopted a nautical theme, highlighting the main characters in the miniseries, and sung by Jeremy Shada; and the intro to Elements (2017) displays images that reflect the four main elements of Adventure Time (ie: fire, ice, mucus and candy) and sung by Hynden Walch. Finally, the introduction to the unique "A Glitch Is a Glitch" and "Food Chain" animation episodes featured each of David OReilly's and Masaaki Yuasa's own animations, respectively.
The series regularly displays songs and music numbers. Many cast members - including Shada, Kenny, and Olson - sang their character songs. Characters often express their emotions in songs; These examples include Marceline's song "I'm Just Your Problem" (from season three "What Was Missing") and Finn's "All Gummed Up Inside" (from season three's "Incendium"). While the background music of this series is composed by Basichis and Kiefer, the songs sung by characters are often written by storyboard artists. And while it is a general scarcity, this show also sometimes refers to popular music. At the start of the show, Frederator, Seibert's production company, occasionally uploaded demos and full versions of songs sung by characters to their official website, and when the production crew made a Tumblr series account, the tradition of publishing the demo and the full version of the songs publicly turned on back. On November 20, 2015, the Spacelab9 label released a limited edition 12 "LP featuring many of Marceline's songs, followed by a 38-song series soundtrack in October 2016.

Reception
Critical review
The show has received positive reviews from critics. The A.V. Club reviewer Zack Handlen calls it "a great show fit in the gray area between children's and adult entertainment in a way that successfully satisfies the desire to write sophisticated (ie, strange) and plain plain stupidity".
Adventure Time has been praised for its resemblance to past cartoons. In an article for Los Angeles Times television critic Robert Lloyd compared this series to "the kind of cartoons they make when cartoons themselves are young and happy to bring everything into a chewy life". Robert Mclaughlin of Den of Geek expressed the same sentiments when he wrote that Adventure Time "is the first cartoon in a long time that is pure imagination". He praised the show for "not relying on pop culture that continually refers". Eric Kohn from IndieWire said the show "represents the progress of the [cartoon] medium" in the current decade.
A number of reviews positively compare the series and its creators with works and individuals that are culturally different. In 2013, Darren Franich's "Weekly Entertainment Weekly series called" sci-fi/fantasy/horror/music/fairy hybrid series, with the echoes of Calvin and Hobbes, Hayao Miyazaki, > Final Fantasy, Richard Linklater, Where Wild Things Are , and the music videos you made with your high school garage band â € Emily Nussbaum from The New Yorker i> praising Adventure Time ' unique approach to emotion, humor, and philosophy by likening it to " World of Warcraft as mapped by Carl Jung". Zack Handlen of The AV Club concluded that the show was "basically what would happen if you asked a group of 12-year-olds to make cartoons, that's just the best version, as if all the 12-year-olds were super geniuses and some of them are Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and Marx Brothers ".
Adventure Time ' The will to explore dark, sad, and complicated issues has received praise. Kohn praised the fact that the show "toys with a very sad subtext." Novelis Lev Grossman, in an interview with NPR, praised the backstory of Ice King and his exploration of conditions in the third season episode of "Holly Jolly Secrets", the fourth episode of "I Remember You" season, and the fifth-season episode "Simon & Marcy" , noting that its origins are "psychologically plausible." Grossman praised the way the series was able to overcome the problem of mental illness, saying: "It's very affecting My father has Alzheimer's, and he forgot so much about who he was, and I saw him and thought this cartoon was about my father's death." suggest that the event has grown and matured as it has aged. In the fourth season's review, for example, Mike LeChevallier from Slant magazine praised the show for "growing" with his character. He concludes that this series has a "glaring error" and rewarded the fourth and half-season stars of four.
This series has been included in a number of best-of-the-list lists. Entertainment Weekly rated number 20 (out of 25) in the "Biggest Animated TV Series" list. Similarly, The A.V. Club , in a non-rank string of "best animated serials ever", citing the series "one of the most special cartoons being aired".
The event also received limited criticism from reviewers. LeChevallier, in the mostly positive review of the third season for Slant magazine, writes that "the short form format leaves some emotionally desirable substance", and that this is unavoidable for the series with such a short episode. Independent cartoon expert and critic David Perlmutter, who in turn praised the acting voices of the show and his ability to transcend his source material, argued that the midst of high and low comedy shows the fact that Cartoon Network is "unsure about what to pursue". He notes that "while some Adventure Time episodes work well, others are just baffling." Metro newsletter mentions the scary situation of the event, occasional adult themes, and the use of satire as the reason why parents may not want their children to watch it.
Industry impact
Some former storyboard artists and crew members working at Adventure Time have created their own series, including Pat McHale (former story writer, storyboard artist, and creative director who later created Over the Garden Wall ), Rebecca Sugar (an ex-storyboard artist who later created Steven Universe), Ian Jones-Quartey (a former revisionist and storyteller who went to make OK KO! Let's Be Heroes), Skyler Page (former storyboard artist who later created Clarence ), Julia Pott (an earlier plot writer who later created Summer Camp Island ) , and Kent Osborne (former headline writer who later created Cat Agent ).
Heidi MacDonald of Slate is of the opinion that scouting indie comic creators employed by Adventure Time (as well as some other Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon series) has caused "golden animation" to rush "at where large studios actively seek talent under the radar for their performances, with his article stating that "your favorite brilliant indie cartoonist is probably the storyboard for Adventure Time . "MacDonald also pointed out that Adventure Time has influenced modern comic tones, with a note:
If there are any, walking around in [comic] events like SPX, I have seen something of the Adventure Time song among many of the small press comics that are now coming out: Where the young cartoonist is producing the bleak masculine self-mask absorption and apostasy in the traditions of Daniel Clowes or Chris Ware, these days many booths display fantasy epics with colorful characters and create a heavy world on the talking animals. It should come as no surprise that rising cartoonists absorb the aesthetic of Time Adventure . A 20-year-old comic can now watch the show since she was 15 years old.
Academic interest
Adventure Time has attracted academic interest for its presentation of gender and gender roles. Emma A. Jane, a senior researcher at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, said although the two main characters are male, and many episodes involved them engaging in violent acts to save the princess, "Finn and Jake are part of the leading figures. an expansive ensemble character who is nothing but a stereotypical and filling program that undermines many traditional paradigms related to gender ". He said the show featured "the number of female and male characters roughly the same in the protagonist, antagonist, and minor role"; including characters with no fixed gender; using "design elements" such as eyelashes and hair to illustrate characters rather than gender; equally distribute properties regardless of sex; privileges found, host families or extended families; the gender frame in a way that indicates it is fluid; and features strange and transgender sub-text elements. Carolyn Leslie, writing on Screen, agrees, saying, "despite having two male cast, Fandom
Since its debut, Adventure Time has developed a strong following among children, youth and adults; by A.V. Club critic Noel Murray, fans are interested in Adventure Time for "silly humor of the show, imaginative story, and rich world". Although the show is often portrayed as a sectarian, Eric Kohn of IndieWire says that the series has "begun to look like one of the biggest television phenomena of the decade." According to Alex Heigl of the People magazine, the event's Fandom is also well-informed about the Internet, with a large community in Reddit, Imgur and Tumblr, who swap GIFs, fan art and theory with strong regularity. " In 2016, a New York Times study of 50 TV shows with Facebook Likely found that Adventure Time "was the most popular among young people in our data - more of two thirds 'likes' come from viewers [aged] 18-24 ".
The show is popular at fan conventions, such as San Diego Comic-Con. Reporter Emma-Lee Moss said, "This year's Comic-Con schedule [2014] reflects the more successful Adventure Time , with some playback [as well as] dramatic readings with voice talent event ". The show is also popular with cosplayer, or performance artists dressed in costume and fashion accessories to represent the characters of the Adventure Time universe. Moss writes, "Looking into the crowd, it is clear that the distinctive blue shirt and white hat are reflected by hundreds of Cosplayer, men and women." In an interview, Olivia Olson (who voiced the character of Marceline) said, "Literally, wherever you look, anywhere within your reach, you'll see at least two people dressed as Finn. Accolades

Note
- Water date and season of clarification
- ^ * The "Business Time" episode aired on March 11, 2010 as a "preview" a few weeks before the official debut of the series.
- ^ The seventh season of the event was originally intended to consist of 39 episodes, ranging from "Bonnie & Neddy" to "Reboot". In the past, Adam Muto (showrunner series) has been explicitly called "Preboot"/"Reboot" as a collective final for season seven. This season's booking is further illustrated by the image hanging in Muto's office, which lists "Bonnie & Neddy" episodes through "Reboot" as season seven. However, when it came time to upload the seventh season to a streaming site like CartoonNetwork.com, Cartoon Network chose to end the season with the episode "The Thin Yellow Line", for a total of 26 episodes. The number of new episodes for the season was cemented by the complete seventh season DVD release on July 18, 2017, which included the episode "Bonnie & Neddy" via "The Thin Yellow Line". In addition, the DVD release counts two parts of "The More You Moe, The Moe You Know" as the creation of a collective episode, which produces a DVD packaging list of just 25 episodes. However, the two parts are storyboards at different times and are given separate production codes, such as the previous two-part episode "Lemonhope" and "Holly Jolly Secrets". Since the previous two sections count as two different episodes, "The More You Moe, The Moe You Know" are also listed as two episodes in both series and the number of season episodes for the sake of consistency.
- ^? The eighth season of the event was originally intended to be 28 long episodes, consisting of "Two Swords" through "Three Buckets". The Adventure Time production blog officially announced in January 2017 that "Two Swords"/"Do No Harm" collectively premiered the eighth season, and Adam Muto then explicitly asserted that "Three Ember" was envisioned as the season eight finals before "official season division [has] been moved." However, after seven re-shuffle seasons, Cartoon Network recognizes this season as consisting of 13 episodes which were originally the end of season seven (ie "Broke His Crown" through "Reboot") and 14 episodes have been made. until the beginning of the original season of eight (ie "Two Swords" through the miniseries of the Islands). Likewise, Cartoon Network recognizes that the ninth season event - which should consist of the episode "The Wild Hunt" through the final series - consists of 14 episodes that have shaped the end of the eighth season of the original event (ie). Orb "through" Three Buckets ").
- ^ Ã,§ After the previous season's replacement, the original ninth season of the event was re-labeled as tenth.
