"Princess Monster Wife" is the ninth episode of the fourth season of the American animated television series ''Adventure Time''. The episode was written and storyboarded by Somvilay Xayaphone and Bert Youn, from a story by Patrick McHale, Kent Osborne, and Pendleton Ward. It originally aired on Cartoon Network on May 28, 2012. 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 discover that the Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny) has been stealing princesses' body parts to build a bride, Princess Monster Wife. She is so horribly deformed that Finn and Jake cannot view her directly without fainting; eventually, Princess Monster Wife realizes that she is a monster and returns the stolen body parts herself. Ward explained that "Princess Monster Wife" was conceptualized to be both a sad and funny story at the same time. The episode featured a song, "Something Special", written by McHale, that was inspired by the 1992 song "A Whole New World", from the animated feature film ''Aladdin''. The episode received mostly positive critical reviews; Oliver Sava of ''The A.V. Club'' and Dean Childers of TV Geek Army both appreciated the focus on the Ice King. However, Justin Remer of DVD Talk disliked the episode. ==Plot== The princesses of Ooo all wake up to find various parts of their bodies missing. As such, they go to Finn and Jake, who promise to help them. Suspecting the Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny), they confront him. At first, he denies the allegations; he then shows them his new bride, Princess Monster Wife (voiced in tendem by Hynden Walch, Pendleton Ward, and Steve Little), a being made up of the stolen body parts. Horrified, Finn and Jake faint. Princess Monster Wife inquires as to who the two are, and the Ice King lies, saying that they are their children. Ice King, Princess Monster Wife, and an unconscious Finn and Jake all have dinner. Afterwards, Princess Monster Wife confesses to Ice King that she feels different, to which the Ice King responds by singing "Something Special"; he argues that she is all he needs. After Finn and Jake regain consciousness only to faint due to Princess Monster Wife's hideousness, she beings to doubt her normality, leading the Ice King to throw a fashion show. All of the kingdom's penguins are in attendance, but one of them vomits due to Princess Monster Wife's ugliness. Distraught, Princess Monster Wife lockers herself in her room. The Ice King desperately tries to show her that she is beautiful by revealing that he made her out of the parts of the princesses he found most attractive. Princess Monster Wife is disturbed by this notion and eventually decides to return the stolen body parts, much to the Ice King's chagrin. 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「Princess Monster Wife」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
