It goes without saying that OTGW is the absolute greatest miniseries ever created by Cartoon Network! It's the perfect show to watch during both the Halloween and Thanksgiving seasons! Everything about this show is amazing, The story, the animation, the voice acting, All of it I especially love that they got famous actors like Elijah Wood and Christopher Lloyd to voice characters like Wirt and the Woodsman!

Shoutout to Tim Curry as the voice of Auntie Whispers! Even though he was paralyzed by a stroke, he still continues to do excellent voice acting like an absolute champ

Fun Fact: in the original draft of this show, Wirt was originally going not be able to leave the Unknown, leaving Greg as the only one who would make it out of there.

Fun fact: When Elisha Woods was asked what his favourite project he has ever worked on was, he said it was Over the Garden Wall.

For those wondering why it was so trippy, the highway man dance and song is actually a reference to Cab Calloway and the way he would sing and dance. One of the more popular versions of his style is in a Betty Boop cartoon where he sang St. James Infirmary and they rotoscoped his dancing to one of the ghosts.

over the garden wall is genuinely one of my favorite shows of all time. it checks all of the boxes for me. it’s hilarious, the animation is stunning and timeless, the soundtrack is amazinggg, i could go on and on lol.

Kor's reaction to hearing Bone's animated series getting cancelled is so real.

The editor went all out for this one. The fact that they edited in Kor’s “salmon” a few times in the video was absolutely essential. I will die on this hill. Edit: it’s actually Jack’s Salmon, im sorry

Forever a modern Cartoon Network classic for the fall and winter season. Art, music, story, dialogue, theme - all peak!

YES over the garden wall is so good, the 1800s-early 1900s aesthetic of it is amazing and the music is wonderful, imo one of the best series cn has had. the art direction is 10/10.

18:27 I did not recognize this voice at first. Then I looked up who it was and my jaw hit the floor. I was so surprised and overjoyed to hear the voice of Long John Silver, AKA Tim Curry. I knew he had had a stroke and was not doing any live action acting anymore, so of course just hearing his voice makes me so emotional.

I’ve said it multiple times before, and I’ll say it again: Elijah Wood was a fantastic choice for Wirt. Remember Tron Uprising? (Probably not since that was like two seasons of extra Tron content Disney gave us, and nothing more.) Beck was like the only notable animated character I remember hearing Elijah Wood voice before Over the Garden Wall came out. I don’t know how to describe his voice; probably charismatic and calming.

OTGW left me sad and empty, with a massive void eating me from the inside out. Just like every great piece of media! 10/10 show.

HAHAHA EDEN GUESSING THE SHOW AND BASICALLY BEING RIGHT SO JACK HAD TO BULLSHIT IT OUT😭

love over the garden wall so so much!! perfect autumn spooky show, i've watched it every halloween and this year my friends will join too, hope they enjoy it as much as i do

I genuinely love this show. It's so fun.

Finally you guys cover this masterpiece! This really felt like a passion project more than anything else Cartoon Network made.

The coziness of this show while still being unsettling is why I look forward to watching this show every fall. The perfect Halloween vibes!

OMG. OVER THE GARDEN WALL WAS MY CHILDHOOD. I LOVED THIS SHOW SO MUCH IM SO GLAD YOU GUYS WATCHED IT.

Thank you for covering this show. I love it so much and to me it purely distills the essence of fall down into a single package. The soundtrack, the characters, the art direction, the melancholy, it is all simply perfect. Definitely a perfect time to be watching it.

Over the garden wall could be considered as the pinnacle of story telling in western animation 🔥🔥🔥

There's this comic where Dipper is lost in the woods after a fight with Mabel and Wirt finds him. They spend a LOT of time talking about their siblings and how Wirt assures Dipper that he should go find his sister and love her properly/apologize as he felt he treated Greg.. not the best and siblings are important. It's very wonderful, two characters I loved at the time discussing their siblings. Only for you to find out, Dipper is actually also on the verge of death but he chooses to go home thanks to Wirt! This isn't some random encounter of two people, it's actually THE Woods. At their tearful goodbye. you see Dipper's family as he wakes up and Wirt goes off back into the woods to help more lost souls find their way out. Only for you to realize that Wirt chose to stay lost in the woods as he sacrificed himself for Greg to go home and stay alive. The way the comic artist wrote it out made me not even realize they were in the woods of limbo. I had been believing they were both mutually in Oregon and this was just a fun fan comic since the vibes were similar. It's a comic I've cherished for 8-9 years now and like in my previous comment. I read it every year since I found it after my YEARLY october rewatch of this series back in 2014.

I watched this in high school and only recently decided to rewatch it bc for some reason I couldn’t remember why I kept telling myself to not rewatch this show, I remembered after rewatching it, it’s so perfect and sad I never want it to end so the ending leaves me bittersweet, GREAT FANTASTIC SHOW. I cried both times I watched it, and I will definitely cry again in a few years when I rewatch this masterpiece, I can only describe this show as an emotionally detailed beautiful painting fit perfectly into a ten episode series ❤ one of my faves of all time and by far my most favorite short series of any animated work of art

Elijah Wood's voice in OTGW is just so soothing. It melts my heart whenever I hear it 🤭

Wirt really is a good brother. Anyone else would’ve ran out on Greg during the first night.

I LOVED this miniseries when I first saw it! Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since tho.. seriously tho it has the same story/charm you’d see in a Studio Ghibli movie mixed with the same Atmosphere as Wes Anderson films. It also Oozes that Old School cartoon energy while pairing it with Modern dialogue and storybook elements.

Omg yes!! I recently did my yearly rewatch of this show! It’s so amazing!! I love the immediate recontextualization the penultimate episode gives for the whole show! The art is so pretty and the music is divine! I can’t say enough good things about this show!

wish we saw the reaction to wirt's 'are you?' with the voice crack lmao that's the hardest line in the entire show

4:43 Never have I been hit with such deep-seated nostalgia, having it happily awaken after so many years, get incredibly excited at the prospect of Bone animated, get immediately shot with disappointment, and then lose my faith in humanity in such a microscopic time span before in my life

10:30 We should’ve gotten more episodes with the Highway Man. He’s the real GOAT.

"We need free bird" "We need chicken run" "We need cookie run" *loud coughing* That was the spilling the milk moment of all time

I love how every episode just seems like Greg and Wirt just being Greg and Wirt and goofing around like children but at the time it’s building up to the ending with the beast, plus the foreshadowing with the clips at the beginning is beautiful

I remember wanting to watch this as a kid when it premiered but I just didn't get the chance. Finally watched it last year and rewatching it around this time of year is now added to my Fall traditions, it is my favorite Cartoon Network series if we're counting miniseries.

I'm the Highwayman...

4:44 not just the bone series, they had an adaptation of the Redwall books in the works before it got cancelled. Executives hate these guys.

This show is so good, the perfect example of a mini series that has a great atmosphere and plot

Always love seeing it be some kind of unspoken tradition of people watching Over the Garden Wall on Halloween Also, that salmon bit got me so hard, idk why lmao

Bro, I was so bummed that this didn’t get a season two I haven’t been this upset about an animated show since infinity train. Either way both solid shows.

Hot damn, you guys chose perfectly; especially for the season. This show is the GOAT of the modern era; best show that CN has released in recent times. Plus, a good way to start kids in liking Folk Horror. Plus, FUN FACT: the settings, episode numbers and other parallels have led fans to theorize that it's a reimagining of Dante's Inferno.

Over the Garden Wall is literally my favourite TV show of all time I even have it all on DVD I was so happy to see this video come out with the 10/10 rating

the heartbeat when Eden asks whats up and then them going "yeah he's dead" goes so hard. this show. chef kiss it to death. I watched this every week when it premiered in 2014. And since then it has become my ritual to watch it through every october. I can't believe it's been almost 10 years.

This is my favorite show period. Hope you enjoy it!

04:31 It's a movie where we go back in time to the first thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu.

*The best Cartoon Network cartoon? Yes*

A masterpiece, and that's a rock fact.

This is probably one of the best things CN has ever put out, such an intriguing journey with fall being a great backing season with change. It also has some very dark moments but is balanced out by some great comedic levity with Greg who always has hilarious lines every time. I just love this show and I’m glad the Milk bois do too

i gotta rewatch this show every autumn it’s just so good

YES! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! MY FAVORITE SHOW!!! ❤❤❤

this is my favorite miniseries to watch every fall I love it

I’ve been waiting for them to watch this since before i was born

This show is SO good, me and my brother make sure to watch it every year on halloween.

3:52 Beatrice is voiced by Melanie Lynskey.

This is one of my favorite series of all time. Very glad that you guys got around to it!

I’ve watched the video in 6 minutes and I can confirm they binged over the garden wall

I absolutely love this show. I rewatch it every autumn. So happy to see how much you guys liked it

my art class is actually decorating the halls after the show!! i got to draw and paint auntie whispers

16:42 With Greninja being my favorite Pokémon, I normally wouldn’t be laughing at that joke, but that joke was too funny. 😂 (And given how long Greninja’s tongue is, I can’t help but think about that further…)

i have to rewatch otgw at LEAST every halloween it's so good 😭

This is such a good mini series, I've made it a personal tradition to watch this every autumn 😁

Yo, watching you guys while drinking makes this 10 times more funny.

Hope ya'll got to watch the pilot as well, it's awesome. Also, shoutout to Melanie Linsky in "American" mode-- that's not her real voice, but she does it in everything and it is ADORABLE.

11:35 OH MY GOD THEY FUCKING PREDICTED IT

How did Velma get in max, but this show didn’t????

My brother works at a haunted house and last night three kids came in and they were singing the “potatoes and molasses” song

I watched this when it first came out on Cartoon Network, rewatched it a few years later, and just last year my Univ Writing professor showed it to the class and had us write an essay on it. Mine was about the thematic elements and bits of dialogue that support the theory that The Unknown is actually Purgatory

Wirt would be beating that bird like Robert Pattinson did in The Lighthouse

"How does a frog commit suicide??" Obviously he "kermits" suicide, badumtish

As an Australian, I was so confused with the Adelaide song

Fun fact: In the part where Wirt has to sing, the writers didn't write anything for the voice actor, letting him just make up something on the fly, Greg's voice actor yelled at him "Sing, lover!"

Absolutely fantastic memories I have share with this. I remember waiting every week for another episode. Really an amazing show.

17:16 considering the fact that Jack’s country, Canada, has a geese as a national animal, it probably makes sense

19:47 "Salmon!" Lol editor needs a raise

Everyone give them 50,000 likes, more people need to watch Craig of the Creek.

YES *dons trimmed Christmas hat* INTO THE UNKNOWN

If COTC doesn't get binged I will be so sad, it's genuinely a chill cartoon

24:10 that's Patrick McHale.

This is my all time favorite show ever. That’s saying a lot lol, but if I had to choose only one show to watch forever it would be this. I host an annual marathon every fall where I invite over friends and watch the whole series! Partly to introduce new people to the series. Mostly, because I love this series!! And it’s a way to make it feel fresh and new again

Gosh I love this show. I showed it to my husband this year around mid/late October because it’s just become a staple for every year around this time. I always get excited when I get to pull out my fall playlist and just vibe to it while working or driving or just relaxing.

This show is a euphemism for death. The garden was the living the garden wall is limbo. Then they died. Every episode is a different layer of hell/limbo.

It’s so funny that this went up as I was working a YTP/edit of the series.

Love the atmosphere. Month 3 asking for Good Burger 🍔🍟 and Dreamworks Chicken Run and Wallace and gromit curse of the Wererabbit 🦔🐣🙏🏽

13:33 why’d he say it like a slur 😭

14:55 the way i had this exact same experience a few days ago watching the show with a friend who hadn't seen it before

Fun Fact: Clarence and Over The Garden Wall take place in the same universe. In the episode "Lil Buddy", you see Wirt and Greg's silhouettes walking in the distant while Clarence is burying his Lil Buddy.

My bf showed me this series last fall and I was sobbing by the end. He’d seen it before and was crying too. We’re both a bunch of softies. 😅

Finally I’ve been waiting for this one!!!

This show made me feel sad happy and funny

29:16 clarence moment.

I’m so glad I caught this one before it was too late. I’ll have to rewatch it someday

I've been waiting for this one can't beleive i missed the stream

They pointed directly qat my garden in the intro

I feel so bad for Jeff Smith, also fuck Netflix for dumping such an awesome potential series

Yoooooooooo, over the garden wall gang is here!

I’ve only seen OTGW once, but honestly it scared the mess out of me….I think I might give this another shot now that I’m older

Constantly thinking about Christopher Lloyd as the woodsman

That princess poster gives me so much nostalgia. It’s like that in between right before they dropped the 00s hot pink and glitter aesthetic of that merch but started including Tiana in the line up

i want a tattoo of the huntsmans lantern. i have a design saved to my phone. literally i love this show so much

1:30 that's rick sanchez.

'you mean cookie run?' And i immediantly get a cookie run ovenbreak ad.

the last episode of the over the garden wall with that scene where teapot kid has those trees around him that shit traumatized me as a kid
