Pendleton Ward refers to them as 'really smart, smartypants people' who are responsible for inserting weirder and more spiritual ideas into the series during its third season. Many of the series' writers and storyboard artists have a background in indie comics. Cartoon Network greenlit the first season in September 2008, and 'The Enchiridion' would become the first produced episode. The studio then approached Cartoon Network, with creator Pendleton Ward delivering them an early storyboard for 'The Enchiridion', showing that the premise could be expanded into a series while maintaining elements from the original short: funny catchphrases and dances, an awkward kiss moment with the princess and an 'Abe Lincoln moment'.

Production įollowing the stand-alone pilot episode, Frederator Studios pitched an Adventure Time series to Nicktoons Network, but the network passed on it twice. Ward intends the show's world to have a certain physical logic instead of 'cartoony slapstick' – even though magic exists in the story, the show's writers try to create an internal consistency in how the characters interact with the world.

And there's a lot of that in the show, I think.' Executive producer Fred Seibert compares the show's animation style to that of Felix the Cat and the Max Fleischer cartoons, but says its world is also equally inspired by Dungeons and Dragons and video games. It's my favorite way to feel – when I'm on the edge of my seat but I'm happy, that sense of conflicting emotions. About the post-apocalyptic setting and style Ward described it as a 'dark comedy.' He said 'dark comedies are my favorite, because I love that feeling – being happy and scared at the same time. He tries to include 'beautiful' moments like those in Hayao Miyazaki's film My Neighbor Totoro, and some subversive humor, inspired by comedy series like The Simpsons and Pee-wee's Playhouse. Style Īccording to Ward, the show's style was influenced by his time at California Institute of the Arts and his work as a storyboard artist on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.

After the short became a viral hit on the internet, Cartoon Network picked it up for a full-length series that previewed on March 11, 2010, and officially premiered on April 5, 2010. The series is based on a short produced for Frederator's Nicktoons Network animation incubator series Random! Cartoons.
