Its episodes only last 15 minutes and it's ideal to watch with your family: the perfect spin-off of a well-known animated series.

Although they may go unnoticed among the general public, animated series are just as worthy of recognition as any other. One of the best and most original ones ever made is Adventure Time, which, behind those tremendously colorful characters and landscapes, poses a very interesting reflection on what it means to grow up.

The series is one of the best to have premiered in recent decades and has managed to reach a very satisfying conclusion, opening the door to an equally fantastic and entertaining spin-off. This is Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake, a series set in the Land of Ooo, where the alternate versions of the Finn, Jake, Fionna, and her companion Cake are threatened by a powerful enemy.

Created by Adam Muto, an animator with a great track record as the director of the original series, this series explores what happens to the alternate versions of Finn, the human, and Jake, the dog. Two characters that are not only figments of the Ice King's imagination, but also real living beings that travel to a different dimension and to a new and very exciting world.

Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake unfolds in the same timeline as the original series and is similar in many aspects, although unlike the previous one, which was suitable for all audiences, the spin-off is more geared towards an older audience.

However, it remains an incredibly entertaining and enjoyable animated fiction. And a highly recommended option for family viewing.

Who are Fionna and Cake

The protagonists of 'Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake'

When they first appeared in Adventure Time, we saw that Fionna and Cake were not a real part of the story, but rather two characters created by the Ice King. This character created them as alternative versions of Finn and Jake, to star in stories where they fought against evil and were attacked by princes. However, not all of these stories were always created by the Ice King.

Throughout the five episodes they appear in, Marceline and the Space Princess also created their own stories with these two characters. And they were very successful.

Fionna and Cake are very similar to Finn and Jake, and it seems that the only thing differentiating them is that they are an alternative version or of the opposite gender. But once having seen the series and spin-off, Adventure Time fans will see that the differences go much further.

And that it features other interesting characters like Simon Petrikov, a poor archaeologist whose personality was erased by the Ice King.

The timeline of Fionna and Cake

Frame from the series

Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake takes place after the events of the original series, in a Land of Ooo that is no longer under the threat of the horrific Lich -the main antagonist of the series.

Fionna and Cake do not seem to be inhabitants of this new world, but rather travelers coming from another strange place. Or they dedicate themselves to exploring the different facets of the multiverse. Some fans also believe that the universe in which the adventures of Fionna and Cake take place is its own separate and independent reality, not just part of the Ice King's imagination.

Regardless, although it may seem necessary to have seen the original series, in reality, you do not need to know every detail of the plot and development of Adventure Time to enjoy the story of Fionna and Cake, which undoubtedly has everything it needs to take the lead.
