Favorite cartoon presently. Adventure Time. What imaginations this crew has. I admire it.
The characters are excellent and touching and sweet and a bit hardcore.
I thought that was his head this whole time. Yesterday he took off his hat and turns out he has regular hair.
[finn removes hat] There is already an animated GIF of that on deviantart posted by GuitarGuy502. The anim is wonderfully expressive with hundreds of frames, 3.4MB, and that is too big and will not do. Similar frames removed and pauses provided to 453kb, a terrible price to pay, a sacrifice to art.

OLD.
I do like Adventure Time.
Adventure Time scares me.
My favorite Episode is "The Eyes."
I don't find it scary. Why do you find it so Synova? I'm curious.
Im in the nearest park with my nefews letting them run free.
Oh, just the artwork. Whenever I watch a little bit I usually find it clever.
Commenting tweeting converge and emerge. 2 dollar words running around
Watch it with my 7 year old son, who may be too young for it, but he loves it. I will cop to it scaring me to this extent: it always feels like it's JUST on the edge of inappropriate for him, and I'm never quite certain it won't veer over when I least expect it.
The character designs remind me of Achewood.
I loved Achewood, too, and fear it will be ruined by trying to turn it into an animated cartoon.
It seems to be about overcoming fears, and acceptance.
Yesterday the group had to sing a song to open the door sesame style. Incidentally, or years as a child I thought that was "open says a-me" bang it opens. The song had to be open, honest, direct, and heartfelt. It had to address truest sincerest feeling towards each other in the group. Then the doors opened. The songs were quite incredible for a cartoon.
They kept failing in their singing until they reached deeply enough to verklempt the doors and open them, their golden faces of locks covering the large doors glowing brighter.
But how they got to that was equally imaginative. Egyptian-style symbol on the head, the character has a door on his head, he flings out a flat door, and it flaps segmentally into a full door, each door unique, that's the impressive part artwork-wise, dashes through leaving it open, snatches some personal item out the hands of another character, whips out a new door, passes through into another cartoon space and repeats sequential thefts until he has something from all of them. The items become important for resolution later.
The hero bravely follows through the doors, convinces others to come too, notes the missing items, vows to retrieve them and off they go.
Each character has a unique traits. Each one expresses human emotion and confronts conflict and differences of opinion arising from their places in their cartoon cosmology.
I salute you Chip.
