A fantastic behind the scenes look at the cartoon Adventure Time. Chock full of commentary from the shows creators as well as storyboards, concept art, promotional art, and character studies, this is not to be missed for fans of the show.

This book is gigantic! But it is so much fun to read, the illustrations were excellent. The behind the scenes info was awesome! If you like to read and like Adventure Time then this book is for you.

A wonder insight into the creative world of the show. All the background and pre cartoon network information was nice to read and see how far the show had come. Also it was good to hear from and see all the contributions from all the minds that come together to make Pen Ward's vision into a actual show.

Arguably the perfect art book as, not only is it packed with beautiful images, but there is a hell of a lot of information on the creative process, the design ethos, the thought that goes into each and every detail, and insight into the creator's minds that you really couldn't ask for more. Genuinely inspiring and essential for fans of the show or anyone creative who wishes to revel in the process or get a glimpse of how to achieve something similar.

Adventure Time: The Art of Ooo is quite a hefty tome, filled with all manner of ephemera and ancient history anecdotes illuminating some of the background of the popular kid's cartoon for adults, (or vice versa?), Adventure Time. Every page includes colorful, vibrant artwork from the show, illuminating the creative process that brings such a unique and imaginative vision to life, from the origins of Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, the Ice King, and the land of Ooo itself.
Through collections of character bibles, storyboards, interviews with the creators, and other pieces of behind the scenes information, a reader can learn a little more about what goes on behind the scenes in the show, including it’s development and creation. In spite of this, I feel that a lot of material is left relatively unexplored in discussing the philosophies and style that make Adventure Time so interesting among animated shows currently on the air. The secret origin of the Cosmic Owl was pretty amusing, though, and I could see this as being an invaluable resource to people looking to polish their ability to draw in the Adventure Time style, sketching out all of the quirks and rules of drawing the characters. A nice coffee table book, but probably just a library check out for casual fans, let alone those who are just looking to learn more about the show.
