Adventure Time is a favorite cartoon of my 13 yr old son Cody, to watch on TV. So I immediately thought of him when I was asked to review Adventure Time: The Complete Third Season on Blu-Ray and said yes. He loves to watch Adventure Time after he comes home from school and has finished his homework. I knew that this would be a great addition to his own Blu-Ray collection to watch in the car or at home. I was really excited to surprise him with because most of the time lately the surprises have been for the younger siblings. He has also been doing really well for his first year in middle school so he deserved it.
The Adventure Time: The Complete Third Season on Blu-ray arrived fairly fast. The blu-ray arrives in a BMO slide on case for the packaging. When Cody saw this he started to jump up and down because he recognized it immediately. He was so happy to be able to watch some of his favorite episodes whenever he wants and where ever he is. Especially since for the holidays he got his very own portable blu-ray and DVD player. So Cody decides to play it right away downstairs and searches right away for his favorite episode. It was the one where Fionna has the responsibility of keeping Prince Gumball safe from the Ice Queen.Taylor, my 4 year old, and myself watched this episode with Cody and now Taylor is saying that his favorite cartoon has become Adventure Time. It was a really cute episode but a little sad as well. It brought me back to high school in a way and the mean tricks some girls can play on each other to get what they want. It was a fun episode as were all the episodes on the DVD.
Over the next few days I think my kids tried to watch The Adventure Time: The Complete Third Season as much as they possibly could without getting into trouble by mommy for watching too much television. We watched as Science the Rat saves everyone from being Zombies forever. We watched as the Ice King told stories and made silly threats. I laughed the most I think at the fact that there is a talking donut with arms and legs and a unicorn head attached to a rainbow I think.?. Adventure Time is really a fun show to watch for adults as well as children I think. Adventure Time: The Complete Third Season has made a great addition to our whole families Blu-Ray Collection.
“This February, Cartoon Network will release the third full-season installment of its most mathematical animated series on both Blu-ray™ and DVD as Adventure Time: The Complete Third Season hits retail. Continuing the franchise’s home entertainment momentum which has included a series of top-selling releases to date, the Blu-ray and DVD both feature all 26 episodes from the series’ third season, as well as must-have bonus features including episode commentaries for ALL 26 episodes, an interview with series creator Pendleton Ward, an alternate show introduction. Plus, further satiating even the most passionate Adventure Time fans, it’s BMO! Fans and collectors are in for a special treat with a custom die-cut BMO slipcase, which transforms the Blu-ray and DVD packaging into their very own collectible BMO figurine.
“Adventure Time has become a phenomenon that has resonated with audiences of all ages – and we’re thrilled to keep up with the demand for full-season and Blu-ray sets for those most passionate fans with today’s announcement,” said Erik Resnick, vice president of Cartoon Network Enterprises, the home entertainment division of the network. “Our third full-season release will bring more of what Adventure Time fans love about these collectible sets: hours of their favorite episodes bundled with great bonus features created for fans by the show team, all in unique, collectible packaging.”
As one of Cartoon Network’s most popular series, Adventure Time continues to grow and thrive since its on-air debut in April 2010. With strong on-air success through its fifth season, critical acclaim, passionate fan base and strong consumer products program, the brand has become a massive hit among audiences of all ages. During its fifth season, the series was the #1 show among boys 6-11, as well as a top-rated show among kids 6-11, and kids and boys 9-14, according to Nielson Media Research. With a huge social following of more than 10 million fans on Facebook, Adventure Time consistently ranks as a top digital brand as well, with top-rated apps and online games featured on CartoonNetwork.com.
From the mind of series creator Pendleton Ward and produced by Cartoon Network Studios, Adventure Time follows the unlikely heroes Finn and Jake, best buddies who traverse the mystical Land of Ooo and encounter its colorful inhabitants – and 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 through thick and thin. The Land of Ooo is teeming with imposing mountains, lush green plains, accessible forests, ubiquitous prairies and winding rivers, the cities and towns are filled with bizarre characters in need of unique assistance. Whether it’s saving Princess Bubblegum, defeating zombie candy, mocking the “oxy-moronic” Ice King, or rocking out with undead music wiz Marceline the Vampire Queen, with Finn and Jake it’s always Adventure Time.”
