ture Time with Finn & Jake is an upcoming American animated television series created by Pendleton Ward, based on the animated short Adventure Time that aired as part of Frederator Studios' Random! Cartoons. The animated short was nominated for an Annie Award for Best Animated Short Subject of 2006.The short included many silly or mathematical outbursts, such as "Rhombus!" and "Algebraic!". In September 2008, the short was officially greenlighted for a series by Cartoon Network.



PLOT
The cartoon begins with Finn (called Pen originally) sleeping under a tree and Jake meditating. After they do a little dance (which Jake downloaded from the internet while meditating), Princess Bubblegum's Rainicorn (a unicorn/rainbow hybrid) flies by in tears. They discover that the Rainicorn is so sad because the princess is being imprisoned by the Ice King. Using snowballs, they battle their way past the Iceclops, Snow Golem, and other monsters that inhabit the Ice Kingdom.
Eventually, Finn and Jake reach the Ice King's mountain lair. Finn and the Ice King fight while Jake remains outside flirting with the Rainicorn, ignoring the battle. Just when Finn seems to be gaining the upper hand, the Ice King uses his "frozen lightning bolts" to freeze Finn in a block of ice. For unexplained reasons, this transports Finn's mind "back in time and to Mars" where he has a short motivational conversation with Abraham Lincoln. After being told to believe in himself, Finn is returned to the present: just in time to see the Ice King fly away with Princess Bubblegum. Chasing after him using Jake's extendable legs, Finn rescues the princess from the Ice King's grasp. Jake pushes the magical crown off of the Ice King's head, thereby removing the King's source of power. The Ice King then plummets off screen, yelling a long list of complex threats of things he will do when he returns.

The story closes with the princess giving Finn a kiss, which embarrasses Finn greatly. He attempts to leave, but Jake claims that they have nowhere else to go and that there are no adventures that need them. Fortuitously, some nearby ninjas are stealing an old man's diamonds, and they both run off in pursuit.
