1. Been rejected by Nickelodeon

Pendleton Ward, the creator, presented Adventure Time as a pilot project to Nickelodeon, but Adventure Time was rejected because the cartoon was too strange for children.

2. Finn's character is inspired by Bueno The Bear

Finn bears a pretty strong resemblance to one of the webcomic creations Bueno the Bear. Finn and Bueno both have square bodies, long arms and legs, tiny ears on either side of their heads, and small eyes that are far apart.

3. Two of Finn's voice actors are brothers

At first Finn's character was voiced by Zack Shada, but Zack was considered too old to play the character, so his younger brother Jeremy Shada took over to voice Finn because he had the same character as Zack's voice.

4. The voice of Ice King is voiced by the legendary cartoon Tom Kenny

Tom Kenny is the voice of Ice King in Adventure Time as well as several minor characters such as Gunther, Lumpy Space King, and Bufo. Tom Kenny's voice has colored our childhood a lot. Tom became very famous for voicing Spongebob Squarepants as well as the voice of Gary the Snail from 1999 to 2016.

In addition, he has also done other cartoons including the voice of the Mayor from The Powerpuff Girls, Heffer in Rocko's Modern Life, The Penguin from the 2004 TV series The Batman, and Dog in CatDog.

5. It doesn't look old but it turns out that Princess Bubblegum is already 827 you know!

Princess Bubblegum reveals her age in the video game Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW! Princess Bubblegum explains that she was once part of a giant lump of pink goo that was formed roughly a thousand years ago and that she became a living being when she was spat out exactly 827 years earlier.

6. The sound of typing the keyboard on the theme song

After Cartoon Network bought Adventure Time, the original songs from the pilot project were re-recorded on a different instrument, with the ukulele instead of the guitar. The theme song was originally only intended as a temporary version. The song was recorded on a small microphone and had a lot of noise.

"If you listen to the recording carefully, you can hear Derek Drymon typing on the keyboard while Jake is walking," said Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward. Typing occurs around the 16-second mark.

7. Bringing about the power of women

Ward the creator didn't want to portray female characters lazily in this cartoon series, he made it a priority to make normal female characters.

Female characters such as Princess Bubblegum and Marceline in this cartoon illustrate that women can also make mistakes, act silly, and show off their intelligence in unique ways, and not only serve the interests of male characters.
