Offering a spike in adventure and eccentricity to its young viewers, Turner International’s kids television channel Cartoon Network will launch in India a new original animated series –– Adventure Time –– starting October 15.
To be aired every Monday-Friday at 4.30 pm, ‘Adventure Time’ introduces viewers to unlikely heroes Finn and Jake, buddies who traverse the mystical land of ‘Ooo’ and encounter its colourful inhabitants.
The two heroes 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, with the story aptly portraying their beautiful bond.
From the mind of creator Pendleton Ward, an American animator, musician, screenwriter and producer who works for Cartoon Network Studios, ‘Ooo’ is a land built for adventure.
Whether it’s saving princess Bubblegum, defeating zomble candy, mocking the 'oxymoronic' Ice King or rocking out with undead music wiz Marceline the vampire queen, with Finn and Jake its always Adventure time, said Monica Tata, general manager (entertainment networks, south Asia), Turner International India.
“Adventure Time already enjoys an ardent fan following globally with kids engrossed by the show’s humour, imaginary moments and thrills. We are proud to offer this popular animated series in India, bringing to life kids’ curious nature and eternal quest for fun, which is what Cartoon Network is all about,” she added.
