You hear whispers of the wise woman Adelaide, who can help the boys find their way home, as well as the Beast, an ancient harvester of lost souls, but even their true motivations aren’t revealed until the series’ final moments. Early on you are introduced to Beatrice the bluebird and the old Woodsman, two recurring secondary characters upon which much of the plot hinges, but the storytelling in these introductory episodes remains intentionally (and enticingly) opaque. You’re thrust directly into the heart of the story, with the surly Wirt and his naïve half-brother Greg traversing a mystical, dangerous forest simply called the Unknown. Over the Garden Wall begins, like any epic tale worth its salt, in medias res. Including the tale in its entirety alongside the original short, complete with commentaries, animatics, alternate title cards, a “Behind Over the Garden Wall” featurette, and even a special composer’s cut, it’s a whole lot of family entertainment at a budget price. Available today on DVD, Over the Garden Wall makes its triumphant jump back to your television.
#OVER THE GARDEN WALL TITLE CARD SERIES#
At the time it first aired I was a recent cord-cutter still trying to fine-tune my media diet, and somehow the series (and even any mention of it) managed to escape my notice. One truly notable example is Cartoon Network’s 2014 miniseries Over the Garden Wall. I often describe GeekDad as a blog dedicated to parenting, technology, and culture–big subjects on their own, and easily overwhelming when unceremoniously lumped together like that.
