The character design was equally as sophisticated and consistent as the visual and musical design. The music was also incredibly well pieced together often feeling loose and random, but always with a sophisticated logic (much like the stories themselves). The art style was clearly influenced by dystopian science fiction art of the 1970s, coupled with Dali-esque surrealism (albeit filtered through a pastel lens of childlike bold colours and simple shapes). However, I started to observe some really mature and sophisticated elements cleverly concealed just beneath the playful, absurd veneer. It was loud, bold, colourful, had a zany world with all sorts of bizarre creatures I understood why it piqued the interest of his four-year-old developing mind. His favourite Saturday morning cartoon was Adventure Time. My four year old son would get me up in the morning at about 7am and I'd sit on the sofa, bleary-eyed nursing a coffee while he watched TV. I first came across this TV show in 2014.
