Is ‘Fionna & Cake’ For Kids? ‘Adventure Time’ Fans Confused After YouTube Labels Trailer As Kids Content Despite TV-14 Rating
If you were looking for another reason to justify binge-watching Adventure Time, Cartoon Network has you covered. The channel has announced today that the animated adventure series will be doing a crossover episode with the hugely popular video game, Minecraft. It’s a match made in nerd heaven.
The episode, which will be called “Diamonds and Lemons”, will premiere on July 20 at 7 p.m. ET on Cartoon Network. According to the network’s press release, Adventure Time‘s partnership with block-based open world building game Minecraft will also include a line of products that will include Funko Pop! figures and apparel. That means Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline the Vampire Queen will all be getting Minecraft-themed Funko toys.
The 11-minute episode’s description is vague, only noting that “Finn and his friends [are] experiencing setbacks and creative triumphs in a fantastic new vision of Ooo.” But when it comes to more stylistically ambitious episode of Adventure Time, it’s probably better to keep things unclear. Over its many years on the air, Adventure Time has experimented with many different animation styles. Each of these episodes has been impressive in its own way and has only enhanced this delightfully odd show’s charms.
The Minecraft episode is also important for something other than its spot-on references to bonemeal. This year will see the 10th and final season of Adventure Time. There are currently only four episodes left in this final season. If the show drops all of its episodes around the same time, a format Cartoon Network shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe are known for utilizing, there’s a chance we can expect the final episodes of this sweet yet dark show to premiere around late July.
“Diamonds and Lemons” will be available for streaming on the Cartoon Network app. Watch the Adventure Time and Minecraft crossover clip above, and fall in love with the geekiness.
