Watch: ‘Over the Garden Wall’ 10th Anniversary Stop Motion Tribute

“Perhaps were all just playthings in the hands of fate… Alone, cast adrift…” Cartoon Network has debuted a fantastic 3-minute stop motion animated short film tribute to the cult classic animated series Over the Garden Wall. This original series debuted in 2014 and ran only 10 episodes for one season. It has since become a fan favorite and while they haven’t ever continued with more episodes, they do recognize the love for it anyway and made this short to honor the fans. And let them know they appreciate their love. Created and animated by the legendary Aardman Animations in the UK (known for Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, Shaun the Sheep) this 3-minute short features Wirt, Greg and Beatrice reminiscing about the good ol’ days. They got the original three voice actors back for this: Elijah Wood as Wirt, Melanie Lynskey as Beatrice, and Collin Dean as Greg, plus Frank Fairfield as the narrator. All of the little details in the forest are gorgeous, and even though it’s barely 3 minutes, this is pretty much as wonderful as any short can be. Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›
