This is a cute little episode Which is most notable for introducing us to the Ice King. A major player in the world of AT.
We learn about his sick obsessions and dastardly methods. We also get an insight into his fear of being an outcast. He wants to be loved but Is unable to behave appropriately around others and always resorts to domination and oppressive tactics.
I like the variety of random princesses we meet, reinforcing the oddness of the show with characters like Hotdog Princess.
The story isn't overly creative - he has put a bunch of princesses in jail and Finn must free them. However, using a cliched fantasy plot like this is a good way for the show to illustrate how it offers a unique style when it comes to telling such stories. These aren't really damsels in distress and the ice king isn't a very menacing captor. They can escape by simply starting up a fake dance party (very Adventure Time).
Probably my least favourite of the first 3 episodes. A bit too much filler. Still a solid one though.
