The animation is noticeably rougher here than in Season 2 onward. The backgrounds are flatter, and Finn’s voice (by Jeremy Shada) is slightly higher and more grating. Also, the episode’s moral ("Screaming solves problems") is never referenced again. But for a series pilot, it’s remarkably confident.
This episode introduces us to the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. We meet Finn the Human and Jake the Dog in the Candy Kingdom. The story kicks off when Princess Bubblegum accidentally creates a serum that brings the dead Candy People back to life.
