Over The Garden Wall - DVD

Product Information

They are informed by the old Woodsman that they are lost in the Unknown and warns them of "The Beast". Before working as a storyboard artist on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, artist Patrick McHale pitched the show in 2006, then known under the title Tome of the Unknown. Wirt meets up with Sara at the party, who invites him to go to the graveyard with her and her friends. Wirt then wakes up after the events of the previous episode, and finds himself in a nest with Beatrice's family. Daniel's garden for him once he is gone, to which Wirt refuses, and decides to name Greg's frog "Jason Funderburker" to cheer him up as he tries to break the Edelwood branches off.

The brothers and Greg's frog sail down a lake, where they hear the Beast's singing, and Greg remains hopeful while Wirt has given up. Over the Garden Wall (with the short film Tome of the Unknown) was released on DVD in Australia by Madman Entertainment on July 8, 2015, [43] and by Warner Home Video in the United States on September 8, 2015. Greg and Wirt follow him as he laments that he will have to sell the instruments to continue funding the school.

McHale's original short, Tome of the Unknown, was screened at the 2014 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where McHale earned the Bruce Corwin Award for best animated short film. The penultimate episode reveals that Wirt and Greg are modern children who entered the Unknown after falling into a pond on Halloween. McHale abandoned the original idea centered around chapters of a mystical tome and the series' title became Over the Garden Wall. Wirt and Greg jump out of the way, but roll down a steep hill and into a lake, knocking them both unconscious. During September 2015, an audio cassette tape titled "For Sara", based on the cassette tape labelled with the same name seen in the series, was released by Mondo, featuring poetry from Wirt (Wood) and songs featured in the tape produced by The Blasting Company.

The groups reunite and discover that the ghost was in fact Quincy's neighbor and that their two mansions were actually connected. In TV Guide and also before the premiere, Megan Walsh-Boyle felt that the show's fictional universe "sounds like a world worth getting lost in". In Over The Garden Wall, a working class couple ( Jimmy James and Norman Evans) are planning to give their only daughter and their new GI son-in-law a right Northern welcome. The success of the series of one-shots led to an ongoing series of comics, serving as both a sequel and prequel to the series, rather than telling adventures that happened between episodes. Just before they leave, Greg and his frog accidentally awaken Auntie Whispers, who warns them to stay away from Lorna or they will be eaten.

At the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International, a preview of the show was screened along with various panels for other shows on the network. After being freed, the brothers decide to follow Beatrice to Adelaide of the Pasture, a witch who she claims can help them get home. They find that the town is holding their annual harvest festival in a barn, which is disrupted by their arrival.

The series' art was inspired by a variety of sources, including the 1890s McLoughlin Brothers board game Game of Frog Pond, [16] illustrations by Gustave Doré for Cervantes's Don Quixote, [17] old illustrations for the Hans Christian Andersen story " The Tinderbox", [18] the Cheshire Cat illustration by John Tenniel from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, [19] and the " Dogville Comedies" short films. The DVD features all ten episodes of the show, commentaries, the original pilot, alternate title cards, and deleted animatics. They run from the Woodsman and come across a lonely cottage in which they come across a young girl named Lorna who warns them to hide, as her caregiver Auntie Whispers (Adelaide's sister) is coming.

Meanwhile, the Beast reminds the Woodsman that the flame inside his lantern contains his daughter's soul, and that he must cut down Edelwood trees so the fire can keep her alive. Behind Over the Garden Wall: Short making-of that includes cast interviews and recording session footage.

Greg carries a frog ( Jack Jones) that he found; Greg's attempts to give the frog a name are a running gag. Wirt trips over the gorilla, revealing that it was Miss Langtree's missing fiancé, Jimmy Brown, stuck in a circus costume.As the scene ends, Greg's frog, which swallowed a magic bell in the Unknown, begins to glow, suggesting that their experience in the Unknown may have been real. The residents, who seem to be living pumpkins at first but are actually skeletons, sentence the trio to a few hours of manual labor.
