Over the Garden Wall is a bold direction for Cartoon Network. Not only is it the network’s first foray into the mini-series format but it is quite unlike anything they have commissioned before. It’s a melancholic, dreamy and richly detailed story as two lost brothers wander through the eerie and mysterious Unknown looking to get home. Although many of the episodes feature self-contained stories there is a clear arc for the narrative and characters which eventually gains clarity in the final two episodes.
It’s a series (the whole thing is only 100 minutes long) steeped in references that will no doubt reward repeated viewings. It is filled with familiar folklore and fairy tales as well as numerous animation references including…

For the autumn leaves and the candle-light, for the crescent moon and the creatures roaming storied paths in which they find solace; a new world is granted for two young boys, discovering that reality is merely a journey from one grove to another. As touching as it is expressive, this miniseries is carried by the wind towards the chill of a slowly setting sun; an experience lifted by levity and pummeled by adolescent awkwardness. At once a poisoned treat for the onset of Fall and a reminder of its clammy, eternal embrace. Such a cozy, wonderful thing.

To find oneself in a dark wood, not in the middle of life, but somewhere closer to its start, would indeed be maybe better, a pilgrim without progress, where you were is where you were all along and you were there and you were there and you were there from the fall on into the winter and the waiting until spring. The stories that aren't true might be true anyway or at least illuminatory, as something to burn that gives off both heat and light although the extinguishing of light might be what is needed to learn how to be in indeterminacy, in darkness, without a path forward, in various chill or colder states. Perhaps the light is a lie,…

early 2010s cartoon network hits different than it does now. i grew up watching cartoons on weekends, like the amazing world of gumball, and while they are technically shows for kids, they have more adult/mature elements that i understand now. and while gumball was (and still is) actually a lot of fun, over the garden wall is, to simply put it, an amazing show. it’s got just about the cutest art/character design you’ll ever find, the voice acting is great, the script is so well-written, and the themes/messages behind in the story are relevant to just about anyone (i had a personal connection with the character of wirt, but i won’t get into that).
5/5 watch this watch this watch this! each episode is twelve minutes long and the whole show is about two hours in total!!!
