For this piece, I’d like to focus on Prismo the Wish Master – my favourite character, voiced by The Big Sick’s Kumail Nanjiani – and Jake the Dog, examining their homoromantic, potentially erotic relationship. Because of this, the stretching, changing, malleable bodies of its characters, especially Jake the Dog, make total sense to the viewer. Adventure Time presents a hermetically sealed world – the land of Ooo. (Why, then, animation typically represents reality mimetically is another question for another day). Because animation is completely unbounded from reality, it can essentially do whatever it wants. My favourite aspect of animation is its ability to transform bodies into all shapes, sizes, colours, and textures.
