Cartoon Network Adventure Time Volume 1

"Adventure Time: My Two Favorite People" is a very well put together compilation of some of the best episodes from season one. I only wish that the creators would have already included all of the episodes from season one. On the positive side, there are 12 innovating and original Adventure Episodes contained, and the following is the listing for anyone still considering:1) My Two Favorite People2) Evicted!3) Ricardo the Heart Guy4) Trouble in Lumpy Space5 Tree Trunks6) Dungeon7) The Pods8) The Limit9) Go With Me10) The Eyes11) The Chamber of Frozen Blades12) To Cut a Woman's HairThere is also a special feature of: Little Did You Know. My overall favorite episode in this collection is "The Pods". "The Pods" is a hilarious episode that involves Finn and Jake agreeing to take up a magic bean quest for one of the knights who makes his transition to another realm. Two of the beans are good, and one is very sinister. The plot gets very funny when each of the three beans sprouts out items that actually appear at first neutral. I want to disclose more details, but I prefer to keep in mind those who have yet to watch this episode. My only slight caveat with these series involves the "To Cut a Woman's Hair" episode. I respectfully say this because there is one character that is depicted as an ugly witch who happens to be evil, and wants hair. First off, beauty is subjective and in the eye of the beholder. This character fits the classic stereotype of only beautiful people being angelic and anyone plain-looking being mean. I say this because it is common knowledge that there are very attractive people in the world that are very mischievous and calculating. Then there are individuals who may fall outside of the conventional societal view of beauty, but have great compassion and kindness towards others around them. However, I still recommend this "Adventure Time" collection for anyone who has enjoyed watching any of the "Adventure Time" episodes on television and/or those who enjoy their cartoons with elements that contain hybrids of fantasy/adventure themes.

I haven't felt this way about an American animated show since Avatar: The Last Airbender. I think this show is really a masterpiece. The comedy is very imaginative, though you have to be able to appreciate the absurd, but there are also a lot of great character moments. I really like the dynamics between the main characters of Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline. The stories have a lot of heart and make me feel good in a way that I don't really get from other shows.This disc, as others have said, is pretty bare-bones. Half-episodes presented out of order, excerpted from both seasons 1 and 2. The video quality is decent, though the fact that is a DVD limits this in terms of detail and compression artifacts. It appears that the picture is somewhat over-sharpened to compensate, as there are ringing artifacts around edges. The only extra is a set of character facts about the main characters, most of which are obvious if you watch the show (though I think it also contains a mistake re: PB's age). Note also that the disc is finicky when I play it in my computer. Sometimes the disc doesn't load, sometimes it can't play certain parts. And I've tried it in two different optical drives, so I think it is due to how the disc was mastered.I primarily bought this disc in order to show support for the series and encourage Cartoon Network to produce full series releases in both DVD and Blu-ray formats. I think this show would really shine on Blu-ray, as it is produced in 1080i resolution and the scenes contain a ton of small details that are blurred in the DVD release. The series also ought to be presented in episode order, as there are a lot of small details that can be gleaned from the backgrounds and plot points of each episode, which all together build up hints of the larger back-story to the series.Get on this, Cartoon Network! I need me my Blu-ray releases!

I cannot and will not ever say anything bad about Adventure Time. The only complaint I have is how Cartoon Network chooses to distribute its programming. It only releases shows like Adventure Time on hard copy with out of sequence (timeline wise) episodes that can be from any given season. This particular one has a few from seasons 1 and 2. (Which are available on hard copy, but if you want anything after that you're basically SOL unless you get the downloadable versions. Not everyone however, wants the electronic versions, they want hard copies for their collections. I am one of those people.) This set is good for entertaining a fan of the show for a few hours though, and it at least gives us some episodes to watch.I'm an adult fan of the show. I learned about it from my teenage son and haven't seen all of them like he has. So I pretty much got this just to enjoy with him and delve into some of the episodes I may have missed. It is fun looking for the snail and other hidden things within each episode.

Dvd showed up scratch free and in good condition

This show is great. I'm a 22 year old male and neither my girlfriend nor I can get enough of it. We love the humor, and I particularly enjoy the snippets we get of the dark background and theme. The non-sensical endings remind me a bit of Aqua Teen Hunger Force but that's about the only similarity. The episodes are cleverly written and the plots are very original, which is saying something for a "children's" show.The only reason I rated the DVD 4 stars is because of the peculiar episode selection. They're out of sequence, and I wouldn't say the episodes are my favorites. I'd be really interesting in finding out why these particular episodes were chosen.
