“Perhaps were all just playthings in the hands of fate… Alone, cast adrift…” Cartoon Network has debuted a fantastic 3-minute stop motion animated compact film tribute to the cult classic animated series Over the Garden Wall. This original series debuted in 2014 and ran only 10 episodes for one season. It has since become a fan favorite and while they haven’t ever continued with more episodes, they do recognize the love for it anyway and made this compact to honor the fans. And let them know they appreciate their love. Created and animated by the legendary Aardman Animations in the UK (known for Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, Shaun the Sheep) this 3-minute compact features Wirt, Greg and Beatrice reminiscing about the good ol’ days. They got the original three voice actors back for this: Elijah Wood as Wirt, Melanie Lynskey as Beatrice, and Collin Dean as Greg, plus Frank Fairfield as the narrator. All of the little details in the forest are gorgeous, and even though it’s barely 3 minutes, this is pretty much as wonderful as any compact can be. Enjoy.
Thanks to YouTube for the tip on this. Original intro here: “Welcome back to the Unknown. Walk through the familiar yet mysterious mist. Feel the gentle wind beckoning through the leaves. Listen closely to the birdsongs and whispered secrets. And join Wirt, Greg and Beatrice in their quest to answer life’s biggest question…are we all lost? It’s Over the Garden Wall’s 10th Anniversary, we’re so happy you’re here.” Over the Garden Wall is a series created by Patrick McHale. This stop-motion animated compact is made by the iconic Aardman Animations based in Bristol, UK. It’s directed by Mikey Please and Dan Ojari. Written by Patrick McHale, Dan Ojari, and Mikey Please. Produced by Alan Thorpe. Executive produced by Helen Argo, Sarah Cox, Patrick McHale. The original animated Over the Garden Wall mini-series debuted back in 2014 and ran for a total of only 10 episodes. This fresh stop motion tribute was debuted by Cartoon Network and is available to watch online now. To revisit the original series – it is available to watch streaming on Hulu now.
