To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Patrick McHale’s beloved miniseries Over the Garden Wall, Aardman and Cartoon Network have released a stop motion special. Directed by Dan Ojari and Mikey Please, the short welcomes us back into the Unknown, where Wirt (Elijah Wood), Greg (Collin Dean), and Beatrice (Melanie Lynskey) ask whether their journey will ever truly end (sincerely, we hope not).
The stop motion is simply gorgeous, a classic Aardman special that adds to the whimsical delight of the story. The gentle yet stirring score matches the mysterious nature of the forest, while the ponderings of life’s greatest questions are interspersed with quirky quips from our precious pals. Clocking in at just three minutes, this short is simply wonderful and worth a re-watch (or ten). Happy adventuring, friends!
