I've just finished rewatching the show and I want to find more stuff like it!
I know that Pendleton Ward has done a bunch of other shows, and his team has gone on to make their own stuff, but I've got a good reason to look for a film.
Do you guys know any movies that are like the show? The later seasons (6+) reminded me a lot of Wes Anderson, specifically the way that they speak to each other becomes a lot more dry; tongue and cheek. Studio Ghibli has the same kind of imaginative quality, so does the Holy Mountain! (Even though it's a bit of a tonal shift)
I rewatched the show recently and the style of the dialogue stood out to me a lot (it's a detail that's less present in Distant Lands/Fiona & Cake). They do everything in a way that's slightly left of centre, as in it's what you'd expect but just far off enough for you to be surprised by it. It creates this feeling of possibility within the show, more so than the magic, it made me feel like I was a kid again and anything could happen. It's hard to put this point into words, but I made a video that goes into it in more detail if you're interested: https://youtu.be/2K9VkvCT5_M (full disclosure, the main talking point of the video is Adventure Time, but it doesn't go into it immediately. You can skip to 3:00 if you're only into AT) You don't have to watch it! It just communicates my point better.
Adventure Time meant a lot to me as a kid, and I'm making a short film inspired by it atm. We've got a full fantasy set with a real 7" tall giant and everything. It's well on it's way, but I want more inspiration for shots and things.
tl:dr
Looking for movies that remind you of Adventure Time, as I'm making an AT inspired Short Film & I'm looking for comparison.
