Zack Shada was too old for the role when the series was picked up by Cartoon Network, and his younger brother Jeremy, 12 years old at the time, auditioned. Zack Shada voiced the character, then called Pen, in the short. This short aired as part of Nickelodeon's Random! Cartoons showcase in 2008. The character first appeared in the short film " Adventure Time", which centers around rescuing Princess Bubblegum ( Hynden Walch) from the evil Ice King ( John Kassir). However, this was changed to having them live in a permanent home at Cartoon Network's request. Early on in the development of the show, Ward had intended for Finn and Jake to be nomads who lived in tents. Ward commented that Finn's motivations are noble, with a desire to "slay monsters, explore dungeons, find loot." Ward spent much of his childhood at home, and he described his " adventure experience" as inspiring Finn and Jake the Dog's adventures. Series creator Pendleton Ward has stated that he wrote Finn, and Adventure Time as a whole, as though he were playing a session of Dungeons & Dragons, a tabletop role-playing game. A gender-swapped version of Finn called Fionna appeared in the third-season episode " Fionna and Cake", and is the main character of the upcoming spinoff series Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake. Adam Muto, former showrunner for Adventure Time, has stated that Finn's progression from an aggressive and reckless boy into a more mature wise person was one of his favorite character arcs to write. Later in the series, it is revealed that there are other humans still living in Ooo and that Finn's parents Martin and Minerva came from a community of survivors living on a chain of islands.įinn has received universal praise for his character development and coming-of-age narrative, which saw the character mature from a boy into a wise young man.
The mystery surrounding Finn's origins and whether he is the last human left in Ooo is a major part of the character's narrative arc. His best friend and adoptive brother Jake the Dog ( John DiMaggio) accompanies him on many of his adventures in Ooo, the fictional world that the series is set in. Prior to the start of Adventure Time, Finn was adopted as an infant by two anthropomorphic dogs named Joshua and Margaret, who found him in the woods. Jonathan Frakes voices Finn as an adult in some appearances. The character made his debut in the original pilot, where he is named Pen and voiced by Zack Shada, Jeremy's older brother. He was voiced by Jeremy Shada in most appearances.
He also appeared in the spin-off series Adventure Time: Distant Lands. Stormo (hybrid genetic copy created by Princess Bubblegum)įinn Mertens, also known as Finn the Human, was a character and one of the two protagonists in the American animated television series Adventure Time created by Pendleton Ward.
