Over the Garden Wall
Watch the video review of the same HERE
This series has become one of my favorite Animation series
ever. I have always liked spooky stories, ghost stories and stories about the
afterlife in general simply because those stories talked about the unknown and
supernatural. I am very surprised that Cartoon Network made series. It’s plot
and characters revolve around afterlife and darkness so it was clearly not suitable
for children having said that this is one of the best animation series that I
have laid my eyes on.
It is a story about two brothers who are lost in the unknown
and searching their way out. In this mysterious place they encounter all sort
of creatures and people who are weird and just plain creepy. One of the first
characters that they meet is the “Woodsman”. He warns them about the ominous
figure called the “beast”. Beast is an evil creature in the woods. He is always
looking for kids who have lost their way and turn them into oil for his
lantern.
It is made by patricmchaleOne of the things I loved about
this show is its characters and they arevoiced by well known actors likeElijah
Wood as Wirt, Colin dean as greg, Melanie lynskey as Beatrice, Christopher
Lloyd as the woodsman, John cleese as
the Adelaide of the pasture and quincyendicott, tim curry as auntie whispers. Youngest
brother Greg is my favorite character because he is such a free spirit and
Beatrix address this fact in one of the episodes. And plus “patato and
molasses” is best song ever!!! It is just fun to watch him and colin did a good
job in the voice department. I love this tim burton “esk” kind of visual and
story telling. I think it hits all levels, it is not only interesting for kids
but also engages adults like me. This series
gives out a late 18th and early 19th century vibe that
adds to the charm of the show. The music is clearly influenced by that period
in time. You can see that lot of pain staking work has gone behind this
show. In fact that it took them 10 years
to bring this show to the small screen.
Villian
I am not exaggerating when I say that this show has one of
the best villians ever. The beast is very creepy and evil. If you put yourself
in the shoes of the brothers the whole reason of beast’s existance is
disturbing.You know the series or a movie is going to be good when you see the
Villian or the antagonist.
What is this place called “the Unknown”?
Well you have to watch the series to find out but after
watching it if you feel you want to talk about just give this video thumbs up
and if i get 50 likes in this video I will make another video discussing the
unknown and where the brothers are lost.
Rating
If you like Sleepy hollow,
Beetlejuice or Corpse Bride then you have definitely like the Show. It
is alsoa good choice for binge watching on Halloween nights. you haven’t check
it out yet I highly recommend it. Don’t research it too much, just start watching.
I give this show 10/10 every time I watch it I notice something new which I
missed before.
As always subscribe to my channel for more updates on the
