The woodsman backstory is funny to me. In the end he may just have been a paranoid or overprotective father. The thing is, his daughter was NEVER lost, she just went into the forest for a day and he thought the worst. He got lost himself while his daughter came back to an empty house and waited for him. In the end he had to realise his daughter was never in any danger, and i thought that was what allowed him to come back.
The Woodsman thought that his daughter was tricked and taken by The Beast, when in reality he was the one who was Tricked and taken advantage of while his daughter was left alone at home wondering what happened to her father.
Over the Garden Wall is basically Dante’s Inferno turned into a cartoon, it’s an absolute masterpiece of animation!
For those interested; there’s a video on UA-cam posted by TREY the Explainer pointing out all similarities and parallels between the two stories.
It's just being guided through a fantasy world by a guide. You could make the same analogy about The Wizard of Oz, Infinity train, a couple of the Digimon series, etc.
@@noremac7216 well the guide’s name is Beatrice, so obviously it’s Dante’s Inferno lol
Jk, there’s a couple of references to DE but I do think some are too hasty when they claim it’s only just that story.
@@noremac7216(spoilers for this show)there's a very different connotation when the fantasy world occurs in the mind of someone actively dying or drowning
Except dantes inferno is Dante saving his dead lover
Over the garden wall the kids are just lost in hell
Miscellaneous trivia:
The show was planned as a single season, though it was originally going to be longer and had to be trimmed.
During the opening title card of each episode the sound of the train whistle plays.
In episode 9, the names of Quincy Endicot and Margaret Grey (the tea couple) can be seen on the tombstones Wirt hides behind.
I watch this show every Fall. Such immaculate vibes.
It was all a rock fact ;)
I’m pretty sure rock facts means it’s a lie, so those facts aren’t exactly rock ones lol
another one: Every song in the series mentions water in some way and often mention sinking.
@@starrynight1165I don't think potatoes and molasses mentions sinking or water
@@starrynight1165 I don't think every song, but every episode has some imagery of something in water! Like the two coins at the end of the quincy Endicott episode that Greg drops into the water :)
Same here, watching this in the Fall is my tradition
The Woodsman gave clear instructions to the boys. Wirt had to look after his brother, and Greg had to give his frog a proper name. It took until the end of the series, but they eventually did their responsibilities.
The Beast is one of the scariest cartoon villains I have ever seen. Even worse once you realize what he represents.
He creates edelwodd by making people that are already lost completely lose whatever hope they may have, until they simply lay down and slowly turn into edelwood.
And while he's singing in the last episode, he says the following lines _"Sorrow and fear, are easily forgotten. When you submit to the soil of the earth."_ When do people submit to the soil of the earth? When they die.
The Beast represents Suicide, when people lose all hope, decide to lay down and embrace death.
I think the Beast represents multiple things too
If the purgatory theory is right it could also be the people who gave up on getting better and went to hell
“Lift your mighty limbs and give praise to the fire”
11:41 "Aren't you a little... early?"
Because he's still alive.
hes not ripe enough lol
Fun fact, people have determined that Wirt and Greg’s time is the 70s based on some of the Halloween decorations, that flower wallpaper, and the cookie jars at the party.
Cool ✨
and than they figured out by moonphase on 31 october that show takes place in 2010s(i dont remember correct year, but its around 2010)
I don't think it's that old, Wirt is the only person with a tape player, meaning they where outdated by then
I thought it was the '90s? Since tape decks were around, but were starting to fade out of fashion.
@@Scarshadow666 Probably early 2000's late 90's
If you don't "get it", the boys were drowning. The unknown is the other side. They were allowed to see the otherside and come back because they were in the process of dying and Wirt had to find the strength and responsibility to get him and Greg "out of the woods"
Yeah it's really simple and kind of obvious. A lot of people get conflicted about "what REALLY happened" and try to give it lore where there isn't any. It's a classic trope, a classic story for someone to see a glimpse of the afterlife in a near-death scenario, and use their will to escape it and live on. Idk what's so perplexing about it.
@@ReddCrystal Then how do you explain the bell still being inside Jason Funderberker (the frog)?
@@DSi381 I didn't say the afterlife they caught a glimpse of wasn't real. I just said it wasn't complicated, it didn't need to be literal in every way or made into detailed lore. It's mystery for mystery's sake, imagery for metaphor's. Nothing more, nothing less.
This is reinforced by Quincy Endicott's name being in the graveyard
@@ReddCrystalcop out
"This feels like such a fall series to watch" that's because it IS and ive watched it every fall with my siblings and now with our kids. It's become a yearly tradition for us up in Sleepy Hollow
Tell the Headless Horseman I said Hi! Also, I personally like to watch The Owl House every Autumn but I might watch both this and that because of how short they are.
Same. My siblings and I watch it for Thanksgiving every year
There's multiple video essays that go way more in depth than I will here but the way they write Wirt's anxiety is so interesting. He's so self-conscious and obsessed that he'll mess up or make a fool of himself that he fails to realize that he's pretty well-liked by his peers. He considers Jason Funderberker his bitter rival, but Jason is nothing but nice to him. OtGW is the single most finely crafted piece of media I've ever seen, and it's an annual Halloween tradition for me. Thanks for watching this show, it's such an incredible journey
Dude the part where Greg leaves so he can save Wirt always makes me tear up. Even though Wirt goes off at him, Greg is just so pure of heart that he’ll do anything to keep Wirt safe. 🥺
Its unbelivable how good this show is having only 10 episodes to present its story.Ideal Haloween series
my take on the woodsman is that he thought he was doing something to help his daughter but his actions were actually keeping her away the whole time. and theres a bunch of parents that fall into that kind of thing.
I mean yeah that's pretty much it. He keeps chopping down trees which actually used to be people to "save" his daughter aka parents cutting off their children's friends bc they deem them untrustworthy which often enough results in trauma and depression.
Wait, ALL THE EPISODES??? HOLY SHIT LET'S GOO. Part of me wishes we could see individual episodes to hear you guys have more time between each and break down what you think it happening, but this is so much more fun to see. It becomes a bit of a trip once you watch enough of it in one go.
I watch this every October with my best friend, and binge it together. It's one of the most wholesome and unique shows I've ever seen
They combined it
The Halloween Costume reveal blew my mind when I first watched this, cause they mention some modern things here and there yet they seem to be wearing old-timey clothes and it's like When are you kids supposed to be from?? Also Greg is so damn cute and imaginative with his tea kettle elephant costume like how does this boy think of the things he does???
Glad y'all enjoyed this masterpiece!
Easily one of the most masterfully crafted Cartoon Network series. The story, the dialogue, THE ARTWORK, _THE FREAKING MUSIC!_ While this show is meant as a Halloween series, it’s way more autumnal and wintery to me. Like I watched the show during Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas season. And yeah, Elijah Wood as Wirt was PERFECTION! As someone who remembers Beck from Tron: Uprising, his voice is so noticeable to me and suits Wirt’s etiquette and intelligence.
It’s a shame that Max is getting this gem so soon, and for no reason, but that makes you guys watching all 10 episodes really good.
the unknown is some sort of purgatory, theres a lot of hints through the show pointing towards the fact that everyone they meet in the unknown is dead already. mr endicott is on one of the gravestones where their picnic thing was, and all the people at the inn were references to how peoples profession used to be engraved on their tombstone along with their name, so they were identified as "the tanner" "the cobbler" and stuff like that. also pottsfield, the place with all the skeletons is named after a "potters field" which is a term used to describe areas that people bury unidentified bodies.
The comics fully debunk this theory
@@flubbajubb4958 how? everything i said is like, fully true in the context of the show, their names are on the gravestones, and that is what a potters field is. i dont even know how the comics could change that in a way that wouldnt make it make no sense
@ it’s not purgatory, the comics series makes that perfectly clear
@ specifically it’s the ongoing series that takes place AFTER the tv series which debunks this. Most of the other comics take place before or during the tv series
@ the final issue of the “Tome of the Unknown” collection also fully explains the Woodsman’s backstory and the truth about how his daughter came back at the end of the
If you love the style of this show then I suggest watching Infinity Train!! A lot of people who worked on this show also worked on that show!
they've been saying they will since a year ago i think so soon probably
Infinity Train and OTGW is a must lol
@@ma.2089what's otgw
Yeah, Infinity Train is a really great series. It has some common themes.
Yes, Absolutely yes.
You guys mention how the whole thing feels like fall or getting ready for winter. Thats basically it. This little series captures the feel and essence of an american autumn. Its cheerful and fun, but theres a vague sinister undercurrent to everything, like autumn leading into the dreary bleakness of winter. It has this uncomfortable dread you cant quite put a finger on, nagging at the back of your mind
1:13:30 The Unknown is limbo the place between this world and the next, and the beast seek to distract souls on their way to afterlife and trick them into staying so he can drain them of hope and eventually geed off them. It's a place of those who are lost or of things that are lost and forgotten.
That’s only partially correct. The comics explain that instead of a limbo between the living world and the afterlife it’s actually a space in between reality and dreams
You know a show is good when you get chills just form watching the intro..
A bit early for my yearly Over the Garden Wall binge, but I guess I'll make an exception this year because I can't wait until October to watch you guys' reaction knowing the video is out.
Haha I'm in the same boat😂😂
Fun bit of random trivia: The Beast is played by Samuel Ramey, an accomplished operatic bass singer. One of the roles he's known for playing is the part of Mephistopheles in 3 different operas based on the story of Faust, the sort of archetype of the modern day "deal with the devil" story.
P.S. i hope people told you that the tape “for sara” is REAL-- it indeed has poetry and clarinet on it, and you can listen to it on youtube.
Fun fact to the Pottsfield episode: From the name of the town alone, you can figure out the twist, as a mass grave used to be referred to as a potters field. Not to mention that one lady saying Wirt and co don't look ready to join Pottsfield.
NO FUCKING WAY WHAT!? I loved how unnerving this cartoon was when I watched it in high school, I remember it airing around after a specific arc in Adventure Time which had a similar vibe
Patrick, this show creator/writer, was a writer for Adventure Time too so they had similar vibe. I specifically remember Magic Man as one of the eps he wrote. They have the same wimsy vibe.
This is my favorite thing to watch on Halloween, I binge it like a movie with snacks and is amazing
This mini-series had such a wonderful cast: Elijah Wood, Christopher Lloyd, John Cleese, and even Tim Curry
My brothers and I made it a tradition to watch this show every fall. It’s something special
I've watched this show about dozens of times, and only now realized that all the props Greg was using in the first episode were used in "knocking out" the Woodsman. The detail in this show is fantastic.
Oh my god, I did NOT know you guys were going to react to this-- I am so excited!
The best short Halloween series ever. A Masterpiece you'd say
was getting ready to get baked and y’all drop this banger???? yessir
just rolled up n saw this in my notifs 😂😂 shits serendipitous fr
Over the Garden Wall is a telling of Dante's Inferno, the unknown is purgatory and the boys are lost trying to find their way back home.
I truly love this show and I'm so glad you guys enjoyed it.
This is wrong, the comics debunk this
Over the Garden Wall is Dante’s Inferno with the filter of autumn, old American artwork, cartoon, music, & niches. Take that information as you will to the location of the Unknown versus the real world.
Also note that every character in the unknown is dressed as if they’re from a different time period:
Ms. Langtree - Edwardian Gibson Girl (early 20th century)
Quincy Endicott (whose grave is seen in the cemetery) - 18th Century Georgian
Margueritte Grey - 18th century rococo
Beatrice - Regency (early 19th century)
Lorna & Auntie Whispers - 17th Century American
Everyone in the pub ranges from 17th to 19th century
The comics debunk this
- Wirt is voiced by Elijah Wood, Greg is voiced by Collin Dean, Beatrice is voiced by Melanie Lynskey (with her being a bluebird is a reference to the story “The Bluebird of Happiness”), & Jason Funderburker 🐸 is voiced by a singer named Jack Jones, the Woodsman is voiced by Christopher Lloyd, & the Beast (which seem to be based on various creatures like the Wendigo) is voiced by another singer named Samuel Ramey
- There is a pilot to this series called the Tome of the Unknown & that it also got a comic that extends the story
- Chapter 1 is a reference to Disney animated short film The Old Mill, Ch.2 makes a reference to the pilot with "Vegetables can't move on their own. Can they?", Ch.4 the Highwayman is a reference to Minnie the Moocher by Cab Calloway, Ch.6 is a reference to the story The Wind in the Willows, Ch.7 Lorna comes from the book “Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor” & Auntie (voiced by Tim Curry) is based on Yubaba from Spirited Away, & Ch.8 Greg’s dream is based on old style cartoon which reminds me of “Somewhere is Dreamland”
Also the animal children in the school are a reference to Beatrice Potter books I believe!!
Telling a story like this just in 10 episode its crazy and so many good songs
Just shows how much a little love and caring about story does.
This is one of my favorite animated shows and it's my tradition to watch it in the Fall. Nothing better than watching to kids walk through a forest in limbo
I watch this show every year when nearing Halloween, easily in my top 5 favorite animated shows of all time!
You must have great taste, what's your rest of the top 5?
@@DavidRegaL-lw5xz Oh gosh it changes all the time- I’d have to say 1) adventure time 2) infinity train 3)owl house 4) otgw 5) bee and puppycat (that last one switches between top 5 and top 10 all the time though lol)
Oh my gosh this mini series was so amazing and good. Absolutely a masterpiece that proves CN needed to take risks with storytelling more often plus amazing to watch during halloween
You have GOT to watch Infinity Train, we may have not gotten you to watch Over the Garden Wall earlier but here we are bringing Infinity Train to your attention
this series is so comforting, i watch it every autumn before halloween, it's so short too so just feels like a movie, so glad y'all enjoyed
I wish I could express the feeling I get when I watch (or even just listen to) Over The Garden Wall. One of my favorite things in the world, I have two tattoos from it; Greg’s teapot behind my ear, and “Ain’t that just the way” on my forearm. Also, I started crying so hard when Greg named his frog Ronald (my name) 😂
I GOT SO EXCITED WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION FOR THIS
HAHHA Me TOO XD
39:46 THE DELAY IN THE REACTION WAS PERFECT 🤣🤣
"How about you and I ditch your brother?"
"Hmm, *maybe later"*
😂
THERE'S SO MUCH FORESHADOWING
1:11:10 - You can see the Beast here for a split second and it's basically just a mass of distorted human faces shaped like a... humanoid deer-ish thing?
I like to think those are the screaming faces of all the grinded souls :x
I rewatch this show every October, no matter how many times you see it you will always notice something new
That show was so amazing and touching. The way it was played on Cartoon Network and managed to convince us they would actually kill the child and we fall for it was incredible.
Yes they finally did it
My teory:
the unknown is a place of lost stories, where souls whose stories were tragic in life, goes, like: Beatrice died like a bird, quince thinking he was crazy, the woodcutter working for the beast, Lorna the teacher and stuff... when the brothers passed the cemetery wall and died in the lake, they were transported to this world to resolve the stories and if resolved, they would gain their lives back (which is what happened)
About the skeleton pumpkins, the frogs, the turtles and the fish, i think they are part of that world, because they represent death in some way (to board the frogs raft i need two coins, as well as the death boat in some mytology needs two coins)
And as we can see, the unknow is like... 1700 or something, so i belive that the brothers worlds use to have magic as we see in the unknow.
@@shawneebushatz1963 yeah, they are people of the middle ages, so their stories are forgotten, like Quince, that have her tumb in the cemitery and was a rich tea man, but the Boys don't looks like know her.
it's actually a lot of different time periods, there is good video analysing represented eras by fashion of clothing, it is quite broad timeframe that was used
@@tslex6477yeah yeah, the deal is that are old and forget historys
The longer of the comic series’ actually explain what The Unknown is. They don’t spell it out for you but there’s so much evidence for one specific thing that nothing else makes any sense
Its more like Wirt and Greg was between life and death, like some sort of limbo that was the Unknown, thats why there was a town called Pottsfield, i read that is one name that it's use to refer graveyards, and the villagers are skeletons of people that already died, also the graveyard where they were was a tombstone with the name of the tea guy, so basically everyone that they meet on the unknown were dead or trapped in the unknown because they were too scared to confront the beast or they had a deal with him like the woodsman and Adelaide
This is one of my absolute favorite shows - rewatch every fall! It's so fun watching it charm y'all, and also watching you identify every voice actor correctly! The only one I knew right away was Greg being Tiffany from Adventure Time!
I love this series, it's such a unique experience! The fact that they were lingering between life and death the entire time, and there's SO many references to the afterlife.
Like that old couple in the mansion? You can see their names in the graveyard in episode 9!
This show was Cartoon Network's first miniseries, and everyone agrees it was amazing. That's a rock fact!
SO GLAD YALL SAW THIS!! I watch this show every fall and it’s almost a personal tradition at this point. The settings, music and overall aesthetic are just so comforting yet so ominous. Perfect way to kick off the autumn vibes every year. I’m glad you enjoyed it and I hope you also watch some analysis videos on it if you want more detailed interpretations. Always here for the vibes and so happy to see content I love!🍂🍃🍂🎃🐦
Over the garden wall is 100% my go too autumn show. It captures the feeling of the season perfectly and is a genuinely great story.
Love seeing how hard you all connected with this.
Nowhere near the quality, but there was a quickly forgotten failed movie pilot called Party Wagon that I still go back to now and then.
Though The Unknown is up to interpretation, it's mostly speculated to be some sort of place between life and death or a place for the lost. In the second episode, the town is called Pottsfield. A term used for a cemetery for people who were either unknown or couldn't afford a marked grave.
i like watching over the garden wall every halloween :)
Watching Over the Garden Wall is one of the ways I get myself into the Halloween mood. Thank you for providing this reaction. 🐈⬛🌩🎃
i know its unlikely they'd watch it on the channel cause the show wasn't super popular and you mostly watch cartoons but theres another incredible show with elijah wood called dirk gently which is a "detective" show written by the guy that wrote hitchhikers guide to the galaxy where theres a bunch of weird supernatural shit going on and the story is revealed in weird little pieces that dont make sense until everything eventually starts falling into place. its incredibly well written and i love it.
That is quite literally my favorite show! Great suggestion!!!
This was probably the best miniseries on CN
my theory is that Wirt and Gregory were in between life and death and all the characters are people who have already died and the beast is trying to lead Wirt and Gregory into death or maybe even further than death. But luckily Wirt and Gregory were able to fight death and return back to the living. However this is just what i think :)
The comics actually give a bit more of an explanation behind what The Unknown is, it’s actually a space between reality and dreams
I've seen this many times and I just now noticed that the kids outside the halloween party are talking about two old cat as a baseball game when Greg passes by, which is why he plays it with the animals earlier in episode 3, but he misunderstood it as being "too old cat". This show's so good.
¨Over the Garden Wall ¨ was heavily inspired by Dantes ¨Divine Comedy¨ as well as from several other Misc classics of literature and you can see that it is a sort of ¨journey through hell/purgatory¨ that the brothers go through as they are on the brink between worlds after falling from the wall of the cemetery into the waters, the Beast is literally a representation of Satan: pure evil who masks himself as helping you when he tricks you into a bad deal(deal with the devil) and thus he keeps people within ¨the forrest¨ in their miserable state of loneliness and conflict but the people in the story have many of their conflicts solved by their encounter with the brothers who solve many of the things which made their afterlives hell and instead now they resemble more a ¨heaven¨ of sorts: the woodsman is reunited with his daughter, Beatrice and her family are freed from their bird curse and so on with many characters being able to solve the problems they had in life and reunite with the ones they loved, as theyre all from many different time periods of (mostly) US history and at the end the Brothers can escape ¨the forrest¨ and thus manage to come back from their drowning as they come back from their near death experience, in the process Wirt solved his self confidence issues being able to finally ask Sarah out and Greg strengthened his relationship with his half brother which was previously strained.
The series was supposed to be a bit longer but still managed to tell a great, touching, and self-contained story
10/10.
My whole family watches us every year. And by my whole family, I mean, my brothers, my sister, my children, my husband, my parents, and any other random person who wants to come over and watch with us.
One of my all time favorites, I rewatch it every fall to get into the spooky spirit
I'm so glad you watched this! I think you'd enjoy Hilda for a wholesome, mysterious Autumn show.
When Greg is dying you can hear "potatoes and molasses " in Latin. I missed it my first time watching but it's harrowing to hear.
Also, at the very start of the show it briefly shows Wirt and Greg under the water. There's hundreds of little things you only get by watching it over and that's why I watch it every fall!
Definitely one of the best animated shows of all time, it's so timeless and unique. I have watched it like ten times, and every time you watch it, you find other little details that make the story more deeper and encompassing, it's damm good! I even have the soundtrack because the music is amazing. There are also a few comics and stories that tie in what happens between episodes, and some other stories of when they were still traveling the unknown. Sadly it was meant to be just a short series, but it's always great to watch it again.
It’s still 110 degrees out right now but I’m fully on board for spooky season!
ALL OF THEM WHAT I never got around to watching over the garden wall but I've always known it was good so I didn't know it was short this will be great
Watch it, there's only a few episodes and they're short
Best to watch it alone than this way on reaction channel. You can lose a lot.
22:09 FAVORITE EPISODE OFF ONE OFF MY FAVORITS SHOWS!!! OMGGG
One of my favorite series of all time. You guys are spot on with the vibes and aesthetic of the show. It perfectly encapsulates that feeling of late fall
Greg is the embodiment of "I have no enemies"
Would anyone like too see Jackie Chan Adventures, Swat Kats, Gargoyles and Transformers Prime on here?
Yooooo Transformers fans!! Yes pleeeease!!
Swat kats!!!!!
A part of me would like to see more but is actually glad there isn't more, the story was well told and well done and I think the only reason I'd like to see more is cause part of me would like to see how wirt's pursuing of that girl goes. Honestly though, the ending is good and I'd say he's on the right track considering how interested she was in his participation of the cemetery gathering as well as how she reacted to him inviting her over, she seemed mildly happy about it, so even if he's a bit of a nervous mess it's not something we need another season for
I watch this every fall, a masterpiece
I love that the majority of this show is basically The View From Halfway Down in Bojack and you can see the seeds of it planted all throughout, but then they challenge that as well by making everything that’s “in his head” feel very real and even show up in the present day
The music is the best thing I have ever heard, the entire soundtrack is always played and it is absolutely a masterpiece
"Was he convinced by the beast she was dead?"
Short answer: Yes!
Long answer: the woodsman lived with his daughter and wife, and the wife taught their daughter about the woods and how to forage and such, and then she got sick and passed away. The daughter went out alone one night to get wood and ran into the beast. She ran off the path into the trees and when the woodsman realized she was gone he went after her, but they passed by without realizing it and he ran into the beast while she made it back home. Since her cape and axe were left behind, the beast was able to convince the woodsman she had been killed by the beast BUT he was willing to make a deal - but only because the woodsman got his hands on the lantern by hitting him with the axe. The deal was that the beast would "let" his daughter live on in the lantern, but this would only work as long as the woodsman supplied the lantern with oil from the trees. His daughter lived alone in their house, waiting for her father to return, while he lived in the old Grist Mill because he couldn't go back to his supposedly empty home. This was shown in a prequel comic that is no longer available because life ain't fair.
When you think about it, the ending shows how Wirt and Greg really impacted the lives of the people they met - Wirt showed the woodsman his daughter was never in the lantern, Beatrice was able to save her family without dooming other people, Lorna was cured, the animal school was saved by the musical benefit, and the beast is dead.
Thank you so much! I believe both Greg and Wirt (and the frog too?) actually passed away despite the "happy" ending. The bell is still inside the frog's belly at the end and the frog sings "the loveliest lies of all", which signifies the ending is a lie. I think they are still in The Unknown. I love this story. It's wonderful. Thanks so much. :)
one of the best animated series of the lsst 50 years. timeless. i will never get tired of rewatching this. glad you finally got here!
my favorite fun fact for this show is that pottsfield was named after a ‘potter’s field’, which is a mass grave for peasants or unidentified people. it was originally a biblical term, which plays into the parallels to dante’s divine comedy throughout the show.
27:20 so the only who did't know it about the beast soul, was the wood man...
Omg I never realized that!
The actor who plays Beast is like one of the most fameous opera singers of our times. He's Samuel Ramey, a bass and his most recognisable role is literally the Devil in Faust (by Gounod, french opera) and Mephistofele (Boito, italian opera).
I genuinely thought it was James Earl Jones lmao
@@AutumnGracy Now you know haha
3:00 LOL WHUT! You hear Elijah Wood and your first reaction is the guy from Wilfred XD
So glad Greg actually didn't die. Like, the Unknown is a purgatory and apparently they were kinda having the idea of Greg dying but thought it didn't really do anything but make you sad.
That’s not correct. The comics debunk this
I was vaguely aware of over the garden wall but didnt really think to watch it until today. Someone else was watching it and I thought, 'oh what the hell, i wanted to see it at some point anyways'. I was not prepared to love it as much as I do, planning to watch this every fall.
I wish CN did more miniseries like this. I know Adventure Time has a couple miniseries but I’m talking more about stories that have a clear start and end that aren’t connected to a larger show
i love this series SO much. My sister and I have been watching it every single fall since it came out, and we sing all the songs... So many good memories.
When it first aired on Cartoon Network, the last two episodes came out the day before halloween, and then on halloween, iirc.
The Unknown is basically a world on the brink of death.
Things on the edge of the end.
Lost people, nearly forgotten things, relics of the past, near death experiences, old graves, old tombstones, the sick, the old...
every fall i watch this show, i love it, love the vibes, we need more of this nowadays
What I love about Over the Garden Wall, is how much it feels like a sprawling fairytale. Two kids, trying to find their way home, whilst trying to avoid a horrible monster, and meeting unusual personalities along the way? That's something like you would find from the Brothers Grimm. Also love how Wirt grew to the point where he will actually second guess what he's told, and that helps come to the realization of the Beast's lantern, and thus, takes power away from the Beast, and he just leaves it to the Woodsman to basically finish the job.
And lastly, the Beast himself! I am glad the story never explains exactly who or what he actually is. Has he always been the Beast, or was once a normal man, who had a curse placed upon him? Maybe an edlewood tree come to life? Normally, I'm one who usually prefers for there to be a more definitive answer, the Beast being this entity of fear and despair with no proper origin, living for who knows how long, gives such a creepy vibe to himself. Although, if you'll note, his eyes became very similar to the mutated dog's we saw in the first episode, so one has to wonder if he's just another product of eating the turtles, which leads to the question of what exactly the turtles are, and you go into a whole philisophical spiel on that.
Needless to say, this miniseries shows that you can leave a fantstic impact on the audience, without going into multiple seasons to stretch it out.
Apparently, the ninth episode (the one in the real world) was originally going to be the first episode, but they decided to mix it up a bit and put it where they did. I think that was an excellent decision!
As for recommendations, have you watched the Lackadaisy pilot? It's going to be a series, but so far they only have that first episode out (so, yeah, it's a short watch) It's was made completely by crowd-sourcing, sort of like Hellova Boss. It is SOOO good! It's based on a popular and long running web-comic. The animation, voice-acting, and story-telling is really top shelf, and instantly gets you in the mood for more!
HECK YEAH!!!! So glad y'all watched this one, its one of my favorites. :D
One of my favorite series along with infinity train, glad you liked it so much
One curiosity. all characters beside wirt, greg and the frog are indeed Dead as it was hinted several times through the show the Unknown is a dark limbo that some can enter when they're between life and death, for instance you can see at episode 9 when they're at the cemetery a gravestone wich greg hides behind of with the name Quincy Endicott which is the rich man from episode 5, other clues like their having to pay 2 coins to use a ferry like in the mith of the charon of the dead. and even potsfield itself being a village of dead people.
Not all of them are dead. Only confirmed dead are the episode 2 guys and the few ppl.
*tea ppl
Thanks autocorrect!
This is debunked by the comics
@@flubbajubb4958 There are comics of OTW?? where can i read them?
@@cyber_blue18 the internet. I haven’t read all of them but they’re mostly pretty good. There’s a collection of a one-shot plus a four issue miniseries called “Tome of the Unknown” also just called “Over the Garden Wall (2016)”, start with that, because the ongoing series from 2016 assumes you’ve read the last issue of the miniseries in the first few issues
most ppl think the unknown is a passage between life and death, so like they almost drowned, but they didnt die
We need more cartoons like that that has symbolism, and cheerful stuff that hides a huge contrast of dark content.
Plus, the soundtrack pogs a lot and the art style a masterpiece with the vintage and modern impression. 10/10
