''Adventure Time'' ([[OfficiallyShortenedTitle full title]]: '''''Adventure Time with Finn and Jake''''') is a multimedia franchise centered on the Creator/CartoonNetwork animated series [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime of the same name]], created by Creator/PendletonWard.

The series originated as an animated short produced for Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s ''WesternAnimation/RandomCartoons'' variety show. Following its December 2008 airing, the short was uploaded to Website/YouTube, where it quickly went viral. Nickelodeon passed on greenlighting a full-length series twice due to creative differences, with the rights subsequently reverting to Pen Ward and Creator/FrederatorStudios. The series was then re-presented it to Cartoon Network, with the channel going on to greenlight two seasons after the creation of [[Recap/AdventureTimeS1E5TheEnchiridion a second pilot]]. The series received a large marketing push leading up to its April 5, 2010 premiere.

The show followed the adventures of [[TheParagon boy hero]] Finn[[note]](named Pen in the Nicklodeon pilot)[[/note]] and [[TalkingAnimal talking]] [[RubberMan shape-shifting]] dog named Jake in the strange, bizarre, very ''dangerous'' world of Ooo. The setting is gradually revealed to be Earth after an [[AfterTheEnd apocalyptic event]] known as the "[[AtomicHate Mushroom War]]", an event which radically transformed the landscape and [[TheMagicComesBack brought back magic]] to the world, leading to the creation and reemergence of all kinds of bizarre creatures and entities. Finn is supposedly the [[LastOfHisKind only living pure human]] left in this world, having been adopted by Jake's family after [[HappilyAdopted they found him as a baby]]. Over the course of the series, the show's growing and colorful cast of characters would come to include the boys' feudal patron [[PrettyPrincessPowerhouse Princess Bubblegum]], ruler of the nearby [[AnthropomorphicFood Candy Kingdom]]; Ice King, a deranged [[AnIcePerson elemental wizard]] (and increasingly FriendlyEnemy) with a penchant for princess-snatching; and Marceline, the rebellious, self-proclaimed Vampire Queen.

As one of the most unique and interesting pieces of fantasy to ever grace the genre, to say the show is weird is an understatement. As the series continued, the show maintained a playful air while still dabbling heavily in MoodWhiplash and CerebusRollercoaster, as Finn matured into a young adult and the narrative delved more into the backstory of its setting and the complex relationships between its expansive cast of characters. Because of its eclectic mix of comedy and drama, ''Adventure Time'' grew a large fanbase to become one of Cartoon Network's biggest {{Cash Cow Franchise}}s. The original series concluded production in 2017, with the final episode airing the following year on September 7th, 2018, rounding out at 10 seasons and 283 episodes.

''Adventure Time'' would see continuations in other animated projects, the first of these being ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventureTimeDistantLands Distant Lands]]'', a four-episode [[SequelSeries sequel miniseries]] that tied up some remaining loose ends and explored the characters' lives in the years after the original show's GrandFinale, "Come Along With Me". ''Distant Lands'' would then be followed by ''Fionna and Cake'', another miniseries ([[GrowingWithTheAudience now targeted at young adults]]) that follows Finn and Jake's alternate universe counterparts on their own adventure to maintain the fabric of reality.
