"James Baxter the Horse" is the nineteenth episode of the fifth season of the American animated television series ''Adventure Time''. The episode was written and storyboarded by series creator Pendleton Ward and Somvilay Xayaphone, from a story by Patrick McHale, Kent Osborne, and Ward. It originally aired on Cartoon Network on May 6, 2013. The episode guest stars James Baxter as the titular character. The series follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. In this episode, Finn and Jake stumble across a horse named James Baxter (voiced by Baxter) who has the ability to make sad people feel better. Eventually, the two anger the spirit of a deceased creature at a funeral and are nearly killed by it. However, James Baxter arrives at the last moment and cheers the spirit up. The impetus for the episode stems from a guest lecture Baxter gave at CalArts when Ward was a student; during the discussion, someone had requested Baxter animate a horse on a beach ball, a concept which fixed itself into Ward's mind. The episode was viewed by 2.21 million viewers and received a 1.4 household rating. Oliver Sava of ''The A.V. Club'' wrote positively of the episode, arguing that it was a metacommentary on the nature of ''Adventure Time'' itself. ==Plot== The destruction of an egg causes BMO (voiced by Niki Yang) to start crying. Finn and Jake try to cheer the robot up, but only make matters worse. Only when James Baxter (voiced by James Baxter), a horse who neighs his name on a beach ball, arrives on the scene does BMO feel any better. Finn and Jake decide that they want to try and make people feel better, so they journey across Ooo, saying their names humorously. After interrupting a funeral, they realize that they are not making matters better. Finn, Jake, and BMO travel to the So-Und Institute of Sound, where they attempt to make the ultimate "feel-good" sound. Eventually, Jake decides to morph into a trumpet, while Finn pretends to play him. Their plan is a success, and they cheer up a multitude of people across Ooo. However, they return to the funeral, only to anger the deceased's ghost, who attempts to kill them. Right before Finn and Jake are killed, James Baxter arrives in the nick of time and calms the ghost down. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Baxter the Horse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
