when does the story start in adventure time
Adventure Time The show is set in the fictional "Land of Ooo", in a post-apocalyptic future about a thousand years after a nuclear holocaust called the "Great Mushroom War".[69] According to Ward, the show takes place "after the bombs have fallen and magic has come back into the world".[70] Before the series was fully developed, Ward intended the Land of Ooo to be simply "magical". After the production of the episode "Business Time", in which an iceberg containing reanimated businessmen floats to the surface of a lake, the show became explicitly post-apocalyptic; Ward said the production crew "just ran with it".[36] Ward later described the setting as "candyland on the surface and dark underneath",[10] noting he had never intended the Mushroom War and the post-apocalyptic elements to be "hit over the head in the show".[71] He limited it to "cars buried underground in the background [and other elements that do not] raise any eyebrows".[71] Ward has said the series' post-apocalyptic elements were influenced by the 1979 film Mad Max.[36] Kenny called the way the elements are worked into the plot "very fill-in-the-blanks", and DiMaggio said, "it's been obvious the Land of Ooo has some issues".[71]
