The shorts style was influenced by his time at California Institute of the Arts Cal. Arts. 7 Adventure Time was Wards first job in animation after he graduated from Cal. Arts. Ward had been contacted by Eric Homan, the vice president of Development at Frederator Studios after Homan saw one of Wards films at a Cal. Arts animation screening called The Producers Show. Homan told Ward that he should consider pitching an idea to the Frederatorincubator series RandomCartoons. Ward spent approximately one to two weeks storyboarding the outline for Adventure Time. He described the process as exciting because he was jumping into it not knowing whether he would sink or swim. During the initial storyboard pitch to Frederator Studios, Ward brought a guitar and played the episodes theme song. Frederators CEO Fred Seibert was initially disinclined to make the short, feeling it was too much of a student film and without much commercial appeal. Longtime colleagues, development executive Homan and production executive Kevin Kolde, convinced him otherwise, arguing that Seibert had actually laughed in the presentation, something that he did not often do. Frederator approved the pitch, and Adventure Time soon went into production. Ward hired several of his recently graduated Cal. Arts friends to work on the short with him. Neil Graf was tasked with coloring, Julian Narino was the background designer, and Adam Muto drew the props. Graf and Narino later got jobs with other series and studiosKing of the Hill and Laika studio, respectivelybut Muto continued working with Ward and eventually became Adventure Times co executive producer and showrunner. The finished short ran for seven minutes, and production wrapped up in the spring of 2. Release and receptioneditAdventure Time first aired as a stand alone short on Nicktoons network on January 1. Frederator Studios RandomCartoons on December 7, 2. In between airings, it leaked onto the internet and went viral. According to Frederator Studios producer and founder Fred Seibert the short, between all of its distribution points, had been viewed almost 3,0. April 2. 00. 8. 1. The feature was later nominated for an Annie Award for Best Animated Short Subject, although it did not win. After its release and success, Frederator Studios then pitched an Adventure Time series to Nicktoons, but the network passed on it twice. The studio then approached Cartoon Network. The network said they would be willing to produce the series if Ward could prove that the seven minute short made for Nick wasnt a one hit wonder. Ward quickly retooled the concept of the pilot he wanted a potential series to be fully realized, rather than feature the pre school vibe that he believed defined the original pilot. Initially, Ward submitted a rough storyboard that featured Finn and an oblivious Princess Bubblegum going on a spaghetti supper date. However, the network was not happy with this story, and specifically asked for an episode that contained the same things that had made the short so special, like the crazy opening dance, the Abe Lincoln moment, funny catchwords, and the awkward princesskiss moment at the end. Ward then created an early storyboard for the episode The Enchiridion, which was his attempt to emulate the style of the original short. Eventually, Cartoon Network approved the first season in September 2. The Enchiridion became the first episode to enter into production. Referencesedit abcdef. Farago, Andrew January 2.
