One needs only to look at the box office receipts of The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water to know films based on beloved childrens TV properties are big right now. Warner Bros. understands this at least, and they want to take one of their most adored animated series Adventure Time and bring it to the big screen through its first-ever feature film.

Deadline reported on Pendleton Ward's super loopy Cartoon Network series' latest developments. Word on the upcoming film is slim other than that, however, including who will direct or its plot.

All that is known is that Chris McKay, a driving force between The Lego Movie and Robot Chicken and the director of the upcoming Lego Batman Movie and Roy Lee, the producer behind both The Lego Movie and How to Train Your Dragon 2 last year, will produce this feature.

Also, that Ward participates as a writer and producer on this new movie. Cartoon Network Studios is involved as well, of course.

Adventure Time, a program which draws in multiple age demographics, centers on 12-year-old Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada) and their quest to protect the Land of Ooo alongside his companion canine Jake (John DiMaggio), who is an old, mentor figure for Finn and has the power to stretch and grow his body and limbs as he pleases. They fight foes like the Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny) and are often joined by usual characters, including Evil Guy (voiced by Mark Hamill), Lumpy Space Princess (voiced by Ward) and Marceline the Vampire Queen (voiced by Olivia Olson and Cloris Leachman).

Adventure Time currently airs its sixth season on Thursdays and has already been renewed for a seventh. It won two Emmys in 2013 and 2014, respectively.
