List of episodes

The fifth season of American animated television series Adventure Time, created by Pendleton Ward, originally aired on Cartoon Network in the United States. The series is based on a short produced for Frederator's Nicktoons Network animation incubator series Random! Cartoons. The season debuted on November 12, 2012. The season follows the adventures of Finn, a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake, a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. Finn and Jake live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. Along the way, they interact with the other main characters of the show: Princess Bubblegum, The Ice King, and Marceline the Vampire Queen.

The first episode of the fifth season was the two-parter episode "Finn the Human" and "Jake the Dog", both of which aired on November 12, 2012. The episode was viewed by 3.435 million viewers; this marked a dramatic increase from the previous season's premiere and finale. The season is scheduled to have around 52 episodes, of which 29 have aired; this makes it twice the length of any of the previous seasons of the show. The season has been met with largely positive critical reception. In June 2013, the series was was nominated for "Best Animated Series" at the 2013 Critics' Choice Television Awards, although it did not win.

The season has been storyboarded and written by Tom Herpich, Jesse Moynihan, Cole Sanchez, Rebecca Sugar, Steve Wolfhard, Skyler Page, Somvilay Xayaphone, Ako Castuera, Michael DeForge, Kent Osborne, David OReilly, Ward, Graham Falk, Thomas Wellmann, Luke Pearson, and Seo Kim. The season also featured OReilly and James Baxter as guest animators in the episodes "A Glitch is a Glitch" and "James Baxter the Horse", respectively. It was produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Frederator Studios. The series is rated TV-PG.

Development

Concept

The season follows the adventures of Finn the Human, a human boy, and his best friend Jake, a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. Finn and Jake live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. Along the way, they interact with the other main characters of the show: Princess Bubblegum, The Ice King, and Marceline the Vampire Queen.[3][4] Common storylines revolve around: Finn and Jake discovering strange creatures, dealing with the antagonistic but misunderstood Ice King, and battling monsters in order to help others. Various other episodes deal with Finn and his romantic relationship with Flame Princess.[4]

Production

On October 12, 2012, it was announced that Cartoon Network had officially renewed Adventure Time for a fifth season.[5] The episode titles were released on November 2, 2012 by Frederator Studios, while the show had just reached the end of its fourth season. Based on production numbers, "Finn the Human" was the first episode that underwent production, and it was also the first episode aired.[6] According to both storyboard artist Jesse Moynihan and storyboard artist and former character designer Andy Ristaino, the season will contain 52 episodes, almost twice the normal number of episodes per season.[1][2] Both Frederator and Moynihan explained that originally, a four-part special was supposed to divide the season in half, but that the special was pushed off to a later date.[1][6]

The season also contained several milestone episodes. The sixth episode, "Jake the Dad," featured the birth of Jake and Lady Rainicorn's five pups, which had been alluded to in the previous season's episode "Lady & Peebles".[5][7] The eleventh episode, entitled "Bad Little Boy" takes place in a gender bent version of Ooo.[nb 1] This is the second installment in the "Fionna & Cake" fantasy series—after the third season episode "Fionna and Cake". Several episodes serve as sequels and continuations from previous episodes. The series opener, "Finn the Human" and "Jake the Dog" are the final two parts of a trilogy of episodes, which began with season four's "The Lich".[10] "The Great Bird Man" is a sequel to the second season episode "The Silent King". Moynihan originally wanted to board "The Great Bird Man" with Cole Sanchez, because the two had boarded "The Silent King". However, the artists' schedules did not line up, and Moynihan boarded it with his partner Ako Castuera.[11] "Simon & Marcy" elaborates on the backstory between the Ice King and Marceline, which was first explored in "I Remember You" in the previous season.[12] The events that occur in "Princess Potluck" are supposed to have occurred parallel to the events in the fourth season episode "BMO Noire".[13] Furthermore, the episode "Princess Potluck" was based on one of the original four episode pitches that series creator Pendleton Ward presented to Cartoon Network in the spring of 2008; the resulting episode, however, is substantially different, plot-wise, from the originally pitched episode.[14][15] The scheduled episode "Jakesuit" was also previously the name of a scrapped first season episode.[16][17]

After the writers pitch the stories, the ideas are compiled onto a "two-to-three" page outline that contain "the important beats".[18] The episodes are then handed off to storyboard artists.[19] The episodes' design and coloring are done in Burbank, California. Animation is handled in overseas in Korea, according to Andy Ristaino.[20] Although almost all of the episodes are hand-animated, the fifteenth episode, "A Glitch is a Glitch", was created by guest animator David OReilly in his signature 3-D animation.[5] According to Adam Muto, OReilly was brought on board after Ward expressed an interest in letting him helm an episode. Initially, the producers had wanted OReilly to appear in earlier seasons, but the network was hesitant to bring in guest directors until he was finally approved to appear in the fifth season.[21] British animator James Baxter guest animated the horse featured in the episode "James Baxter the Horse".[22] Guest artist Graham Falk, creator of the animated series Untalkative Bunny, storyboarded the episode "Shh!" The episode was dedicated to Armen Mirzaian who was a storyboard artist for earlier episodes in the series. Mirzaian died in a car accident on February 21, 2013 at the age of 35.[23] The episode "Little Dude" was the first entry in the series to have been storyboarded by DeForge; he had previously been a member of the series design team. He wrote on his official Tumblr that, "Cole and Adam Muto basically held my hand through the whole process, and were both incredibly patient with me."[24] Artist Ako Castuera had to take off two storyboard rotations due to an art show, and so her partner, Jesse Moynihan, worked with German cartoonist Thomas Wellmann on "The Suitor" and "Wizards Only, Fools"; the two worked on their storyboards via Skype and Google+ Hangout.[25] The season has been storyboarded and written by Tom Herpich, Moynihan, Cole Sanchez, Sugar, Steve Wolfhard, Skyler Page, Somvilay Xayaphone, Castuera, Michael DeForge, Kent Osborne, OReilly, Ward, Falk, Wellmann, Luke Pearson, and Seo Kim.[nb 2] This season is the last to feature Sugar. She left the series after storyboarding the episode "Simon & Marcy" to create her own Cartoon Network series, Steven Universe.[26]

The episode "All Your Fault" was the last regular episode of the season to feature a "directed by" credit.[27] The subsequent episode, "Little Dude", only credited Muto as "Supervising Director" and Nick Jennings as "Art Director".[28] Muto later explained that, "No one currently gets the 'directed by' credit."[29] Both Muto and Nate Cash had, in previous episodes, been credited as "Creative Director", but according to Muto, the series decided to phase the title out in favor of "Supervising Director".[29] For the first half of the season, both Muto and Cash took turns holding the "Supervising Director" credit on different episodes.[28][30] Starting with "Shh!", however, Elizabeth Ito, a former storyboard artist for the show in season one, returned to the series and was also credited as "Supervising Director" in place of Muto. Muto in turn was promoted to "Supervising Producer".[31][32] "Bad Little Boy", the season's eleventh episode, however, still had a "directed by" credit.[33] This is due to the fact that the episode was produced before "Little Dude", but aired out of order.[6] "A Glitch is a Glitch" also featured a "directed by" credit, but this is due to the fact that the episode's director, OReilly, was a guest animator and director for the series.[5] The season is produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Frederator Studios.[34] The series is rated TV-PG.[35]

Cast

The voice actors include voice acting veterans John DiMaggio (who portrays Jake the Dog), Tom Kenny (who plays The Ice King), and Hynden Walch (who voices Princess Bubblegum). In addition, Jeremy Shada portrays the voice of Finn the Human, and Olivia Olson portrays Marceline the Vampire Queen. Ward himself provides the voice for several minor characters, as well as Lumpy Space Princess. Former storyboard artist Niki Yang voices the sentient video game console BMO 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 the small elephant Tree Trunks.[36][37] Jessica DiCicco voices Flame Princess, who becomes Finn's new romantic interest.[38][39] Season four also features the reappearance The Lich, the series principal antagonist. The Lich is portrayed by Ron Perlman.[40] The Adventure Time cast records their lines together in group recordings as opposed to different recording sessions with each voice actor. This is to record more natural sounding dialogue among the characters. Hynden Walch described these group recordings as like "doing a play reading – a really, really out there play."[41]

Several voices actors and actresses reprise their characters in this season. Emo Philips reprises his fourth season character Cuber in both "Five More Short Graybles" and "Another Five Short Graybles".[40][42] Both Justin Roiland and Andy Milonakis reprise their roles as the Earl of Lemongrab and N.E.P.T.R., respectively in "Mystery Dungeon".[40][43] Roiland would voice both Earls of Lemongrab in the following episodes, "All Your Fault" and "Another Five More Short Graybles", as well.[43][44] "Bad Little Boy" featured Neil Patrick Harris returning as Prince Gumball, Madeleine Martin reprising the role of Fionna, and Roz Ryan reappearing as Cake.[45] Keith David once again voices the Flame King in "Vault of Bones".[43] Davey Johnson reappears as the goblin king Xergiok in "The Great Bird Man"; he also voices the titular character in the episode "Davey".[46][47] Little, who plays the recurring role as Peppermint Butler, also reprises his role as Abracadaniel in "Wizards Only, Fools".[48]

The series also regularly employs guest voices for various characters. For instance, in "Finn the Human", Ming-Na Wen voiced Farmworld Finn's mother, Kumail Nanjiani appeared as Prismo, and Cloris Leachman plays the role of Farmworld Marceline. In the following episode, "Jake the Dog", Nanjiani and Leachman both reappear, and M. Emmet Walsh voices the Cosmic Owl.[49] In "Up a Tree", Jim Cummings voices the Porcupine, Lenny the Beaver, and the Owl, and Marc Maron appears as the squirrel.[50] Cummings would later reappear in the latter season episode "Candy Streets" playing a different character.[51] In "Jake the Dad", Kristen Schaal lends her voice to Jake Jr. (she would reprise the role in the later episodes "One Last Job" and "Another Five Short Graybles"[44][52]); Choe Dong-Hyun appears as T.V. and Kim Kil Whan; and Sunny Sandler voices both Charlie and Viola.[53] In "Little Dude", Dana Snyder appears as the Ancient Sleeping Magi of Life Giving.[28] With "Bad Little Boy", Donald Glover debuted as Marshall Lee, Marceline's male counterpart.[45] In the episode "Puhoy", Jonathan Frakes voices a grown-up version of Finn, Mandy Siegfriend voices Roselinen, and Wallace Shawn voices an oracle.[54] Levar Burton voices an anthropomorphic bubble in "BMO Lost".[55] Baxter plays the eponymous character in the "James Baxter the Horse".[56] Both Johnny Pemberton and Kevin Michael Richardson appear in the episode "The Suitor", voicing Braco and the demon-possessed Cinnamon Bun, respectively.[57] Series storyboard artist Cole Sanchez voiced the Party God in "Shh!" and "Party's Over, Isla de Señorita"; Riki Lindhome portrayed the female island in the latter episode.[58] The character Tiffany, who had first appeared in a minor role in the first season episode "My Two Favorite People", reappears in "One Last Job".[59][52] In the first season, he was voiced by Vincenzo Rauso.[59] However, in "One Last Job", he was voiced by Collin Dean.[52] Comedienne Melissa Villasenor appears as Ann the pharmacist in "Candy Streets".[60] Dan Mintz appears as T.V. in "Jake Suit".[61] Aziz Ansari, Paul F. Tompkins, and Chuck McCann appear in "Be More", as DMO, one of the SMOs, and Moe Giovanni, respectively.[62] Various other characters were voiced by voice acting veterans Dee Bradley Baker and Maria Bamford.[43]

Reception and release

Ratings

The season debuted on November 12, 2012, with the two-part episode "Finn the Human"/"Jake the Dog". Together, both episodes were watched by 3.435 million viewers.[63] This marked a drastic increase of almost one million viewers when compared to the previous season premiere, as well as the previous season finale.[64][65] The season opener was also the most-watched episode of the season.[63] Aside from the season opener, "Jake the Dad" and "Bad Little Boy" were the only other episodes to garner over 3 million viewers, and they were watched by 3.19 and 3.077 million viewers, respectively.[66][67] On March 29, 2013, it was reported that the shows averages roughly 2 to 3 million viewers per episode.[68]

Reviews and accolades

Eric Kohn of IndieWire praised the beginning of the season for being "irreverent and narratively engaging".[69] He called it "the ideal testament to animation's glorious pliability in an commercial arena otherwise defined by restrictions."[69] Kohn felt that the show's exploration of "sad subtext"—such as the series' mysterious Mushroom War and the relationship between Marceline and the Ice King—and the characters' abilities to "deny the bad vibes their surrounding world invites" via "cheery songs and vibrant artwork" were some of the series strongest points.[69] He was particularly pleased with the season opener, calling it an "interesting creative challenge".[69] Kohn later published an article explaining why "'Adventure Time' is the best Sci-Fi show on TV right now".[70] He singled out "Simon & Marcy", praising the way in which the episode "deepen[ed] the world [of Ooo] in all kinds of morbidly fascinating ways."[70] Furthermore, he compared the entry to Cormac McCarthy's book The Road, specifically citing the similarities between the mutant creatures in the episode and the "demented people" in the latter.[70] Kohn ultimately concluded that the series' "willingness to contemplate [the themes of the episode] while sticking to its unique combination of silliness and haunting beauty routinely transforms the show into a wondrous genre experiment."[70]

In June 2013, the series was nominated for "Best Animated Series" at the 2013 Critics' Choice Television Awards, although it lost to the FX series Archer.[71] The season's fourteenth episode, "Simon & Marcy", was later nominated for an Primetime Emmy Award for Short-format Animation at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards.[72]

Home media

Warner Home Video is scheduled to release a DVD volume called Jake the Dad in September of 2013, which will contain episodes from the fifth season.[73] All DVD releases can be purchased on the Cartoon Network Shop, and the individual episodes can be downloaded from both the iTunes Store and Amazon.com.[74][75][76][77]

Notes

  1. ^ Although both TV Guide and fans of the show have referred to the alternate universe as "The Land of Aaa", many writers for the show, including Adam Muto and Ristaino have claimed that the name is non-canon and was never used during the writing or animation process.[8][9]
  2. ^ Information regarding story development and storyboard artists is taken from all twenty-six of the episodes' opening credits.
  3. ^ Nick Jennings served as Art Director for all season five episodes, and Adam Muto and Nate Cash took turns serving as Creative Directors until their promotion to Supervising Directors, per the various episodes' title cards.
