![]() ![]() Mostly, Adventure Time fans will just feel grateful to be in the show's orbit again, steeped in its specific and wonderful blend of emotion, playfulness, and ironic sincerity. ![]() ![]() It's a potent lesson for young viewers to absorb, and it goes down easily thanks to the abundant charm of the lovely animation with its subdued palette, and the positively kittenish cuteness of BMO. Naturally, it's up to BMO and Y-5 to team up and defeat the evil forces plaguing Y-5's world, but what this demi-movie's really about is a young character learning to find her voice, and then finding a way to make the adults around her listen. Careful listeners will also hear a host of guest stars along with returning voices: Stephen Root, Randall Park, John DiMaggio, and Tom Kenny, amongst others.ĭistant Lands - BMO conjures up a Finn cognate in Y-5, a tween-aged hero with rabbit ears. Brings Finn and Jake together again, to rediscover their brotherly bond and embark on the most important adventure of their lives. BMO proves that there are more stories to tell from the Land of Ooo, and we can trust Pendleton Ward to deliver even more heartwarming tales of adventure and friendship. BMO was always a cutie, not the least because of Niki Yang's loopy line readings, which have an eccentric charm all their own. Two years after Adventure Time ended, this four hour-long special came along, and its a brilliant treat for fans. Season 1 Review: The first episode of Adventure Time: Distant Lands is able to add to this series without once trivializing its legacy. Like its predecessor, Distant Lands - BMO blends surreal visuals, a whimsically heroic quest, and sharp jokes, veering away from Finn-and-Jake-centric storytelling to relate a side story about their sentient little robot pal.

Adventure Time has a grand tradition of threading big emotions and deeper questions in. 'Come Along With Me,' the original series finale to Adventure Time, was a great ending to the show.However, it wasnt really an ending for the shows main characters Finn and Jake. But the third in the series, Adventure Time: Distant Lands Together Again, is a more specific gut-punch. Adventure Time ended with a bang in 2018, but this first of four new specials in surreal lands other than Ooo shows that its creators have plenty of stories left to tell.
