I'm sure some of you dislike Firth's work, it's pretty dark and some people cling to it with an Invader Zim-esque fervor, but there really are some amazing moments. This was what the Ice King scene in Prisoners reminded me of specifically: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pASZWxxA-Q#t=01m13s The music in that cartoon still gives me chills.

Oh yeah. I know this guy. He did a few animated segments for "Screenwipe". He has a pretty distinct style. I picked up on it right away.

That is extremely rad, and explains (with cartoon logic) things like the river of trash and the icebergs full of garbage. However, it doesn't really explain candy people, wizards, rainicorns and talking mountains. Unless maybe this is the post-apocalyptic remnant of Shadowrun?

Hypothesis: Adventure Time is a remake of Thudarr the Barbarian:

Thundarr's Intro posted:

The year: 1994. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction! Man's civilization is cast in ruin!
Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn...
A strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice! With his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil.
He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!
Now note how very (eerily) similar it is to Adventure TIme's opening:

Adventure Time's Intro posted:

Adventure time, c'mon grab your friends,
we'll go to very distant lands.
With Jake the dog and Finn the hu-man,
the fun will never end, it's adventure time!

verrrrrrrry suspicious.

No, adult swim. at first, was a Friday-Sunday thing. At that time Nick was losing its viewer who use to watch Nick's Snick or whatever they had at the time. During production of Zim adult swim started to be all week.

All of this info came from the Zim directors commentary.

No, Adult Swim was originally only on Sunday nights and definitely started after Zim. Maybe you mean Toonami which was turned into Cartoon Network's teen/anime block.

Yeah, I think you guys are thinking of this, and Toonami's Midnight Run that was on Saturdays. Adult Swim started about half-a-year after Zim.

Like I said, got the story from the directors commentary off the dvds, so could be wrong, but the jist of the story was Nick wanted to compete against cartoon network late night, then changed mind during production

Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Cartoon Planet way predated the network officially rolling out Adult Swim as a coherent programming block, but were clearly the proto-Adult Swim in that they were late night programming targeted at stoners (and was done by the same people). That was all years before Zim first came out. I think a lot of the original AS lineup Sealab/Brak/Birdman/ATHF came out a little before the AS branding started too.

So maybe Nick wasn't meaning to compete with AS, just with CN's emerging late night strategy. Way back then all they did was play Mr. Ed and I Dream of Genie. Which were way better than the George Lopez Show so seriously what the hell Nick?

Also the island Finn was standing on after freaking out on Step 3 seemed to be made of old tanks and jets and stuff, so it's a straight up WW3 style post-apocalyptia too.

In other news, what the gently caress was Finn wearing as pajamas? Does he sleep in an orange mummy-bag under a pile of pelts every night? That's both adorable and badass at the same time.
