During In Motion London we’ll be joined by longtime collaborators Patrick McHale and Pendleton Ward. They’ll join us on stage for a unique glimpse into their creative process while making groundbreaking animated series such as Adventure Time. How do their ideas come to life?
PATRICK MCHALE
Patrick McHale is known for creating Over The Garden Wall and his work as writer and creative director on Adventure Time. Next to these projects he has worked as a storyboard artist on The Misadventures of Flapjack and as a writer on Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.
Most recently, Patrick has shifted from focusing on one project at a time to exploring many directions at once, developing ideas across animation, literature, music, and interactive media. His current projects include The Elephant for Adult Swim, the early stages of an Adventure Time movie, an adult animated sitcom pitch, an interactive puppet theater show, a video game, several short films, and potentially a couple of features.
PENDLETON WARD
Pendleton Ward is the creator of the groundbreaking Cartoon Network series Adventure Time, a show that redefined modern animation with its unique blend of surreal humor, heartfelt storytelling, and unforgettable characters.
Pendleton went on to co-create the Netflix series The Midnight Gospel and the cult-favorite web series Bravest Warriors, further cementing his reputation as a visionary storyteller whose work resonates across generations.
