Adventure Time is a series that stole several hearts during people’s childhoods as they watched the long-running show until its very end. Now has a spinoff called “Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake”. This spinoff has the main characters as the gender-bent counterparts of the original main Adventure Time characters Fionna and Cake and also the antagonist of Adventure Time, Ice King. However, in this new series, Ice King is now back to his sane roots no longer having the crown as he now lives as his original self “Simon Petrikov”.
The show starts with the main character Fionna and her pet cat Cake. The series follows Fionna and Cake as they are thrown around the multiverse, meeting different versions of themselves while trying to escape the fate of their universe being erased. Fionna throughout the series uses this multiverse adventure to escape the depression of her normal life. Fionna’s issues with her love life and the fact her life doesn’t have much luck in it leads her to enjoy the adventure she needs to go on throughout the multiverse. Simon goes on the adventure with Fionna and Cake to get back the crown that gave him his powers to help Fionna and Cake stop their universe from being destroyed.
Despite not holding the same plot as the original show, this spinoff has re-lit nostalgia in many people. Especially with them using the same art style they used for the original show. It also helps that some voice actors from the original series went on to voice this spinoff such as Roz Ryan voicing Cake, Madeleine Martinez as Fionna, and Tom Kenny as Simon. The show itself answers questions that were left behind in Adventure Time and is a worthwhile watch not just for nostalgia but also for the action, drama, and suspense the series creates. If you want to take some time and relive some of your memories of watching cartoons as a child, then give this series a watch.
