Mike Hale New York Times 09/24/2018
One of the most important measures of success in fantasy is the ability to create a large, intricate and inviting parallel world... Watching the first season in sequence offers proof that Adventure Time does this as well as any current children's cartoon. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 09/24/2018
They are not the sort of cartoons they made when I was a boy, though they are in some ways the sort of cartoons they made when cartoons themselves were young and delighted in bringing all things to rubbery life. Go to Full Review Leonard Pierce AV Club 09/24/2018

Often plays like a Dungeons & Dragons game run by a 13-year-old on a massive sugar high. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 09/25/2018

The Land of Ooo itself is like an epic crayon sketch you might expect to find on an imaginative eight-year-old's chain restaurant kid's menu. Go to Full Review Louisa Mellor Den of Geek 09/24/2018
4/5
Pendleton Ward's animated fantasy series pulls you through a portal to the days of running home from school, sitting cross-legged inches from the TV, and being thoroughly delighted by a cartoon. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 09/24/2018
5/5
Older kids capable of getting the show's tongue-in-cheek, ironic, and referential humor will revel in the nonsensical fun, and are likely to be hooked by the sumptuous and surprisingly deep Adventure Time universe. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Braden S. @SIMPLEHALOXD Dec 26 Child hood show. First season had me hooked See more Terran F. @Neptoon Dec 3 Show consistently gets better with each season. Season 1 is the weakest but it’s still absolutely amazing. Adventure time is my personal favorite Cartoon Network show of all time. See more james o @RT63376403 05/03/2025 the series was influenced by Dungeons & Dragons, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Jack Kirby, Calvin and Hobbes, Superjail! and Phineas and Ferb. See more GotRizz237 @RT94619608 03/21/2025 Season 1 for Adventure Time was good. I liked it. One of the funniest shows there is. 3/5 Stars from me! But the only reason I give Adventure Time a 3/5 Stars is because the Episodes are too long. I don't know why they put 2 Episodes into one. See more Kaiden C @RT07387534 03/16/2025 Awesome show I have been watching since I was a kid. I don't have much to say, the characters are well written and the show is entertaining. Enjoyable by audiences of any age. I love to see all of the character relationships and how they evolve. See more Haven P @RT26438989 02/17/2025 Literally best show in the entire universe See more Read all reviews
