Summary
Finn and Jake meet a horse with the power to make sad people happy.
Our Take
A quiet, oddly moving little episode that ditches adventure for a meditation on joy and what it costs to spread it. James Baxter himself is a great one-joke character, and the ending lands harder than you’d expect from a horse saying his own name. It’s slight and slow in spots, but the sweetness feels earned rather than saccharine. Worth twenty minutes of your time.
