Adventure Time: Jake vs Me-Mow

Warning: The following review contains spoilers.
 

If you haven’t seen it, Adventure Time is an animated series about a boy named Finn and a magic dog named Jake. As a baby Finn was found in the forest by Jake’s parents who raised them together. Now Finn is 12 and Jake is 28 in magical dog years, and they are best bros.

 

So far, there are five series and each episode is an adventure Finn and Jake have been on – going through dungeons, fighting evil trolls and of course, avoiding the Ice King (because no one likes the Ice King).

 

I have two favourite episodes from this DVD. But the best one is also the episode that the DVD is named after, Jake vs Me-Mow. In this episode Finn and Jake are eating pies with Wild Berry Princess who is about to be assassinated by Me-Mow, the trainee assassin. Jake unknowingly eats the pie that Me-Mow is hiding in, which was meant for Wild Berry Princess. Me-Mow has poison that could kill Jake in one full injection.

Me-Mow blackmails Jake into trying to assassinate the Princess himself. Jake tries to fake assassinating Wild Berry Princess, but that doesn’t fool Me-Mow. So Me-Mow injects poison into Jake’s blood stream. Jake is in pain and Finn doesn’t know what is going on because Jake can’t tell him or he’ll DIE!

Me-Mow comes tumbling out and Finn figures it all out. Finn and Me-Mow go head-to-head “GIVE ME THE ANTIDOTE” screams Finn. “YOU MEAN THIS” said Me-Mow as she smashes it into a tree. Jake is too sick to go to the tree. “That poison is enough to kill a dog 50 time your size” said Me-Mow. Jake thought for a moment – I’m a magic dog, I can grow to 51 times my size, whooooop, Jake is cured.

This episode was my favourite because I like cats and it was really funny to see a tiny, cute assassin cat trying to kill the Wild Berry Princess and Jake.

There are 16 episodes on the Adventure Time: Jake vs Me-Mow DVD, which I recommend to anyone who likes crazy and random cartoons.

Adventure Time: Jake vs Me-Mow is available through Madman Entertainment.
