Slumber Party Panic

The drawing started in a good way, until cool, even though it is not the best thing in the world of course, the EP is good.

I just started rewatching the whole series today to get ready for the upcoming finale, so I've decided to give a written review of every season 1 episode every day of the week! Enjoy.

Slumber Party Panic was, in my opinion, a good starting episode for the series. Not the best episode in season 1, but a good one. The comedy in the episode was mediocre("Get those hot buns in here, girl!"), no Lol content for me.

I think the plot of the episode, however, was solid and kept me entertained throughout the entire 11 minutes. I love the creativity that goes into these characters and the writing was brilliant ("I hear something I don't understand, and it makes me scared"). I love how the characters' speech seems so non-linear and off script.

Overall, this was a fun and creative series premiere, and I'm excited to see more!

Rating: 7.7/10

Kicking off the savior of Cartoon Network with a horror episode...and I love it. I was 8 years old with this show first came out and seeing it now feels weird seeing how the show was about a human boy and a magic dog going on awesome adventure and started it off with a horror episode...but I didn't care. It shows what the show was going to be and I was on board with it.

Decent start, all the characters are immediately likeable but the conclusion feels a bit clunky. The art style immediately sets this show apart from others airing at the time. The comedy, while not the funniest episode ever made is still pretty good here. And it overall sets the tone of the show pretty well. I will say it's weird coming back here and remembering what Finn used to sound like but it's not awful. Slumber Party Panic won't blow anyone away and will certainly be overshadowed by other episodes but is overall a decent and obviously important episode of not only adventure time history but cartoon network history too.

Adventure Time is immediately, abrasively itself, in "Slumber Party Panic." The premise of the episode is promptly established, as, mere moments after being introduced to aspiring preteen hero Finn and his age-inappropriate crush, slightly sociopathic candy autocrat by way of revolutionary scientist, Princess Bubblegum, a sugar-crazed-zombie outbreak threatens to bring the Candy Kingdom, home to an eclectic population of candy citizens, to ruin. Character dynamics are deftly alluded to, as a brotherly bond between Finn and Jake, a shapeshifting dog, equal parts wise and mischievous, is made apparent. Finn attempts to subdue the hypersensitive candy citizens, who have been summoned to the Candy Castle under the guise of a slumber party, and keep the news of the outbreak a secret, as candy zombies continue to close in. Absurd, python-esque humour serves to advance the narrative and make otherwise expositional dialogue and offhanded interactions hilarious and memorable. The episode reaches its characteristically silly climax when Finn makes a grievous mistake and becomes the subject of a bizarre cosmic trial. Characters brim with life and find broader roles, while a surreal and unpredictable world is made tangible, all in Adventure Time's first episode.
