Kaiya Shunyata RogerEbert.com This show understands who its viewers are and what they need after such a long time away from this world. Aug 29, 2023 Full Review Erin Maxwell LA Weekly/Village Voice Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake feels like the original even as it tackles more adult themes such as despondency and apathy. Their absurd yet emotive comedic antics are exactly what we need in these unsteady times. Like a hug from fantastical old friends. Sep 10, 2023 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media And fans of the original will be heartened to see that this series is deeply connected to the original, with recognizable (yet twisted) versions of familiar characters who suddenly appear, and the same knack for surreal, yet emotional plot twists. Rated: 4/5 Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Brittany Vincent Decider This is the triumphant return to the world of Adventure Time fans have been waiting for, and it sets the stage for one of the most interesting concepts the show has seen in some time. Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Coleman Spilde The Daily Beast Fionna and Cake is a marked expansion of the Adventure Time lore, one that is less raucous and more story-focused from the jump. Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Jake Kleinman Inverse It manages to move the entire franchise forward by leaps and bounds, delivering one of the saga’s most emotionally mature entries, which, as Adventure Time fans will know, is saying a lot.

Kendall S First time, first eps, not very great for children. She has dreams and fantasies over an much older man(the ice king) then she tells us she wants to die in the theme song. Theme songs happen every episode and i dont want my children taking this information and feeling like thats a normal way to feel. This is not okay. Please change the theme song. "I'm not really feeling like myself today Hated every job I've had, what's wrong with me? Every day's the same; painfully mundane 'Cause I'm runnin' from my feelings and my fear of sudden change Every time I leave my room I wanna die (Hey hey) Even when I'm with my friends I'm alone inside 'Cause nothing really matters And I don't know what's sadder The fact I even try, or that my hopes and dreams are shattered I'm not really feeling like mysеlf today, ay-ay-ay" Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/30/25 Full Review FLICKSWITH M So they took a side-story from the Ice King and embraced it into a full spin-off sequel that turns out to be one fascinating creative way to follow up one of CN’s best shows by today’s standards. I've been really enjoying *Fionna & Cake*! The episodes are super fun and full of the quirky humor you expect from Adventure Time. Fionna's personality is great, and Cake totally steals the show with her sass. The stories are creative with it’s richness in its themes and beautiful imagery, keeping the stylistic animation of Adventure Time, perfect for a chill binge. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that sometimes the plot feels a bit repetitive, but overall, it's a really enjoyable spin-off. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the original series! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/25 Full Review Christoffer J It's an amazing continuation of the adventure time series and it's really fun to watch. I like that now that ice king has turned back into Simon fionna and cakes world is like a normal human life on earth. I highly recommend for adventure time fans 👍 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Celeb T This is a fantastic addition to the Adventure Time universe. Crazy, unhinged, fun, sweet, exciting and engaging. I didn’t want it to end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review poll b Did everything the original series did and even better whilst being its own thing tying perfectly into the amazing lore. Cant wait for Season 2 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Noah B I honestly don't know what went wrong here. Something felt off and uninteresting. Cake was enjoyable though. Mid af finale. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
