It’s inspired a ton of shows, of which Steven Universe is probably the most famous but also stuff like Bravest Warriors, Infinity Train, and Danger and Eggs, and you could also make a good case for shows like Gravity Falls and Over The Garden Wall having at least a similar target audience and sense of humour even if they stylistically diverged. Three years later, it became a cartoon - notable for its fast pace, unique art style and unusual idioms and a kind of odd internal logic underlying the wackiness.ĭrawing from old-school roleplaying games and post-apocalyptic fiction, Adventure Time probably started the recent comeback of cartoons with a huge secondary audience of ~nerdy~ university students.
In 2007, a short pilot episode aired that could easily have been dismissed as some wacky nonsense (and probably was), but it caught the animation of us millenials or whoever.
