Man, Adventure Time Is Beautiful

Can we just appreciate how good the backgrounds in Adventure Time look for a minute? 'Cause they're pretty freaking gorgeous.

Of course, while you're actually watching an episode of Pendleton Ward's kooky but charming cartoon, it's easy to overlook the gorgeous visuals. Things move fast, or we focus on the characters. Thankfully, Bahshaynay brings some of the background art on the episodes to our attention.

Check em out—do you recall the episodes in which we first see these locales?

And here are a few backgrounds from Ghostshrimp/Dan James' website—he's the creator of Adventure Time's world.
