  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Adventure Time is an American animated fantasy franchise created by Pendleton Ward, set in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. The franchise originated from a 2007 short produced for Fred Seibert's animation incubator series Random! Cartoons at Nickelodeon Animation and aired on Nicktoons Network. A full-length series later premiered on Cartoon Network on April 5, 2010, and ended on September 3, 2018. The main series was eventually followed by two spin-offs: Distant Lands (2020–21) and Fionna and Cake (2023–present). Since its debut in 2007, the Adventure Time franchise has received numerous accolades, including 20 Annie Award nominations (with three wins), 16 Primetime Emmy nominations (with 8 wins), and three Daytime Emmy nominations. The Adventure Time comic book series has also received five Eisner Award nominations (with one win), and four Harvey Award nominations (with four wins).
