As one of Cartoon Network’s most popular series, Adventure Time
continues to grow and thrive since its on-air debut in April
2010. With strong on-air success through its fifth season,
critical acclaim, passionate fan base and strong consumer
products program, the brand has become a massive hit among
audiences of all ages. During its fifth season, the series was
the #1 show among boys 6-11, as well as a top-rated show among
kids 6-11, and kids and boys 9-14, according to Nielson Media
Research. With a huge social following of more than 10 million
fans on Facebook, Adventure Time consistently ranks as a top
digital brand as well, with top-rated apps and online games
featured on CartoonNetwork.com. Additionally, the Adventure Time
consumer products program attempts to satiate the fan base’s
desire to interact with their favorite characters with a robust
licensing program that includes toys, apparel, publishing,
accessories, interactive games, youth electronics, comic books,
posters and much more. Some recent successes for the brand range
from the Adventure Time Encyclopaedia from Abrams Publishing
debuting on the New York Times Best Sellers list this summer to
the monthly comic book line from Boom Studios winning the 2013
Eisner Award for Best Publication for Kids (Ages 8-12) at 25th
annual Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards ceremony at Comic-Con.
From the mind of series creator Pendleton Ward and produced by
Cartoon Network Studios, Adventure Time follows the unlikely
heroes Finn and Jake, best buddies who traverse the mystical
Land of Ooo and encounter its colorful inhabitants – and always
find themselves in the middle of heart-pounding escapades. Finn,
a silly kid with an awesome hat and Jake, a brassy dog with a
big kind heart, depend on each other through thick and thin. The
Land of Ooo is teeming with imposing mountains, lush green
plains, accessible forests, ubiquitous prairies and winding
rivers, the cities and towns are filled with bizarre characters
in need of unique assistance. Whether it’s saving Princess
Bubblegum, defeating zombie candy, mocking the “oxy-moronic” Ice
King, or rocking out with undead music wiz Marceline the Vampire
Queen, with Finn and Jake it’s always Adventure Time.
