Elements (miniseries)

Storyboard artists who worked on this miniseries include Sam Alden, Polly Guo, Seo Kim, Somvilay Xayaphone, Steve Wolfhard, Graham Falk, Hanna K. Nyström, Aleks Sennwald, Kent Osborne, and Laura Knetzger.

While BMO is completely transformed by Bubblegum's power, Finn and Jake are rescued by Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny), who then takes them to the Sky Kingdom.

As Finn and Jake look down upon Ooo, they discover that it has been completely corrupted by the four primordial elements: candy, ice, slime, and fire.

The group flee from the Ice Kingdom and rescue Betty, who argues that she can reset the world with an alternate-universe version of the Enchiridion.

When Flame Princess swallows the jewel necessary to save Ooo, Finn gives into his violence and begins attacking her, which transforms him into a fire person.

In a last ditch effort to save the world, Lumpy Space Princess reaches out to Finn's "hero heart," which reminds him of happiness, returning him to normal.

After Ice King arrives with the gems, Lumpy Space Princess taps into her anti-elemental powers and transforms Ooo back to normal.

In late 2015, Cartoon Network aired an Adventure Time miniseries entitled Stakes during the show's seventh season.

[34] Zack Blumenfeld of Paste magazine praised the miniseries, declaring that Elements "is superior to and more cohesive than both Stakes and Islands, simultaneously a return to Adventure Time's surrealist roots and an emotional step forward.

"[35] Blumenfeld highlighted "Cloudy" as the miniseries' strongest episode, noting that it "give us flashes of the show’s old innocence [and] it also opens up a window into Jake’s inner life that we rarely see.

It’s a welcome sign of continuous vitality from Cartoon Network’s flagship show, and its urgency serves to remind us that we won’t have Adventure Time forever".
