In case you've been living under a rock and haven't already seen/downloaded Over The Garden Wall, CN is airing the series for a second time in it's entirety today at 5:30.

It's a fun and spooky ride, so hold on to your butts. Spoiler tag at your own discretion.

>>68441956
Gonna be watching with my sister, maybe more of the family if they stick around. Love the show.

>>68441956
I intended to make this very thread- thank you for saving me the trouble.

I'm going to record it on my DVR and keep it until there's a DVD release if that ever happens

gotta love this intro song

>>68441956
so how DO you get to the wood?

any cannon explanation ever been said?

What's the special presentation?

>>68442593
It just means they're showing all the episodes

>>68442533
Me too.

>>68442593
They're replaying the entire thing right this second.

>>68442630
where is all the fanfiction for this show?

>>68442621
>>68442634
Oh, thanks.

>I feel like a boat upon a winding river
>the entirety of Like Ships

Huh, never noticed that. das cute

You really notice the train whistle the second time around.

>stepping on pumpkins
They're gonna get pumpkinitis doing that.
Seems to be a real problem around these parts.

>>68443111
Lies.

With the big role the lantern plays in this show, which corps would the characters belong to?
Beast = Sinestro Corps
Greg = Blue
Quincy = Orange

Beatrice says Wirt has no willpower, but he does overcome great fear, so I feel like that's a toss up for green.

Wonder if they'll ever do a follow up, not necessarily on greg and wirt, but the unknown as a whole.

I'd really like to see this team tackle a series based around the mythology of the wild west

American tall tales peppered with Mexican and native mythology, set against a backdrop of grand canyons, purple mountains, and raging rivers under the endless night sky

>>68443369
I like it. I was thinking something themed around the industrial era.

>>68441956
How many episodes are there? Seems like I'll have to check it out sometime down the line

>>68443885
10 total, each 11 minutes long. It's basically a movie.

>>68443760
Hope this isn't true, muh spoilers ;_;

>>68443863
The Woodsman fought him for the lantern and won. The Beast just offered to take the lantern back in episode 4
>>68443885
10 episodes, 11 mins each. It'll take less than two hours.

>>68443863
The Beast's work would then be doubled because, you know, he has to grow the trees.

>>68443927
>>68443933
That all? Think I'll just do that now then. Anywhere to stream it? I doubt it's on UK's Cartoon Network

Is facing your fears a theme here? Seems to be.

>>68444161
Well, that meshes pretty well with the idea that the Unknown is a kind of spirit world/limbo, meaning both Quincy Endicott and Maguerite Grey really are ghosts after all.

>>68444208
__ Yes. ___

Time for frogs that feel good.

i thought the beast was voiced by michael dorn for the longest time

>>68444208
It is. Basically every episode has a lesson about maning up and facing your fears, which are often times far less frightening than you led yourself to believe.

>>68444161
didn't noticed the grave but I did notice they only showed his portrait at the end.

My favorite song.

>>68444337
That's what I thought they were going for when I first saw it

Weakness to air is even lamer than weakness to water. Witches these days got it rough.

shouldn't it be "be a pussy get da pussy?" Be the pussy doesn't sound right.

>>68444765
She doesn't want to be alone

>Demon calling With and Greg "her turtles"

The turtles are so weird. When eaten they turn dogs evil, but they're also people's souls that get eaten by demons?

>>68444798
what if the real demons is US?

>>68444798
I think they're just coated in oil.

>watching over the garden wall

kek

>>68444711

i dont get why people get hyped over this scene

i think the animation looks really awkward

I always get a laugh out of that bit at the end where Auntie Whispers warns them about Adelaide, and Wirt's giving that look of "Yeah, we already went through all of that, she's dead". Like playing missions in an RPG out of sequential order and getting hints about a mission you've already completed.

>>68444851
They even find a frog in it. Spooky.

>>68444703
My mind immediately went to Spirited Away too, anon.

why does half of this episode look like its being viewed through a spyglass

>>68445021
All the episodes have the edges of the screen blurred

>>68445021
Half that sequence is a direct lift from Disney's silent films, the Alice Comedies.

>>68445021
Because it's meant to be like a classic cartoon out of the 20s and 30s.

;_;

>>68445122

why did they do that in the 20s and 30s

>>68445154
Because you had to stick your eyeball up to a lens to see anything.

That was before they had screens.

>>68445167

it looks like bad rotoscoping masked with a fish eye lens effect

>>68445154
It was probably just a thing, like how everything is blue and orange now.

Because the Clarence guys work in the cubicle next to yours so it'd be like a funny inside joke between friends

>>68445573
Backgrounds are not at all an expensive asset. Time constraints sounds like a more likely reason, but even then I doubt they didn't have time to draw ONE background.

>>68445604
And the Beast is a manifestation of Aku's evil essence just like the Lich, Chemical X and Double D's hat.

>>68445681

now youre getting it

>>68445525
I just assume that's the view outside CN's studio's most popular window
>>68445573
it's not recycled though, it's copied. that takes longer than making up a new one.
what i find interesting is that clarence's town seems a lot more rundown and less inhabited than this busy city.. you notice in at least one spot there's a much taller building in otgw

BOO

so is sara black or indian

Thanks doc.

holy shit there is a negro running wild in this town! somebody call the plantation.

I never noticed Wirt's voice cracking when he said "Are you" the first time I watched this.

>>68441956
so they were in purgatory? when they were drowning?

>>68446296
It was some kind of Limbo world, yeah. By escaping the forest, they managed to wake up and live.
If they'd never left the forest, they'd have died for realsies.

Recommendations for cartoons/shows/movies with a similar charm?

anyone else watching the west coast airing now?

>>68446699
Not a cartoon/show/movie, but the Mother series.

Also Loiselle's Peter Pan comic book series.

Peter Pan in general really. And Alice in Wonderland. And The Wizard of Oz.

I've just noticed that wert and the woods man have similar hair

>>68447071
Holy shit.

I'm really sorry, anon.
But, you'll get to see him again one day.

Thanks.

If someone knows of anything like this on netflix that'd be appreciated, I'm really just looking for something easy to watch tonight.

>>68443928
There are shadows on trees everywhere, I can see one from here.
Magic things like talking birds, evil cursed light, etc. that seems to be mostly in the Unknown.
I caught so much watching this again.
Particularly all at once like this.
Maybe I'll watch it again tomorrow, when they show it again.

YES, THAT'S RIGHT, THEY ARE SHOWING IT AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON
IF YOU MISSED IT AGAIN, YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE TOMOROW.

Thanks m8, was able to watch it through my Chromecast this way

>>68448174

call me autistic, call me what you will
but watching something with someone in the room that's not digging it really dampens the experience for me

So is there a clear explanation of the Unknown or is it all just speculation and theories at this point?

>>68448213
What's worse is if they make comments every now and again

>>68448213
Oh no I totally get that, I just thought you meant that your dad's disapproval of the show made you want to reevaluate your opinion on it and rewatch it.

>>68448267
Probably didn't help that he jumped in on Molasses and Mashed Potatoes

>>68448222
It's unknown, if you knew what it was it wouldn't be unknown anymore. That's a rock fact!

>>68448222
Most popular explanation is that it's the afterlife/some kind of purgatory.

Secondary explanation is that it's a fae realm deal, a place where time isn't entirely linear, and you might cross paths with someone who comes from your far past or future.

Both have holes, and neither fully explains everything the brothers encounter.

>>68445447
Jason Funderburker is the most alpha dude ever!

>>68448222
Purely speculative, but purgatory is definitely the wrong answer.

That's the first thing everyone says a mysterious world is and is the most boring explanation of the Unknown.

>>68448522
I thought it was a Limbo kind of place, but that doesn't explain why it took effect on the real world. Unless the real world is a fake too

>>68448552
Well, reality is an illusion, but the major problem with the purgatory theory is that you can die in the Unknown. And there are ghosts.

You also need to eat, sleep, etc.

If it was purgatory, you'd need to do none of those things, as you'd already be dead.

>>68446699
Spirited Away

>>68448691
Good point. Is the big twist people mention the fact that things going on weren't real? Surely that was a bit obvious?

>>68448691
I think people who take the Unknown as purgatory, hell, heaven, the afterlife, or anything like that are completely missing the simple truth contained in its name: It's Unknown, as in no one fucking knows. It's just elsewhere, an unnamed place. Possibly magical, possibly real, possibly in our world, possibly not. It never explains itself and it never needs to, since that's not the point. It doesn't matter where or when they are, just that they are, period.

>>68448750
Of course the Unknown is real. If it wasn't, then it'd be a shaggy dog story and that clearly wasn't the case as the people in the unknown continued to have lives after the boys left.

I imagine the Unknown to be a place like Wonderland or Oz, though more accessible than either of them as there has clearly been immigration from the real world.

Or maybe the Unknown is easily accessed in some other universe, but difficult from our own.

>>68448750
The things that went on were real, what was the obvious twist is that they were spirited there from the 80's and it wasn't a period piece.

>>68448367
I don't think I would have thought fae realm per say, personally, if it didn't hit so many of the themes white wolf's latest "changeling" game hits.
More even the Gaiman's Stardust.
Makes me wonder what people have been reading that current faery tale trends are so similar.

>>68448838
>Makes me wonder what people have been reading that current faery tale trends are so similar.

There's nothing recent about it. Popularity is cyclical, but faerie stories have been omnipresent for thousands of years.

There's some kernel in the story of a faerie realm that resonates with people across all kinds of cultural borders.

>>68444489
To be fair, the original wicked witch of the west was a papery-dry walking corpse, the idea is that the water disrupted her already tenuous structural integrity and she melted like a goddamn wet paper grocery bag full of cans when you're just trying to get inside the goddamn front door and get out of the rain and it spills everywhere and fuck the cab driver wants his money now
>>68444615
they mentiioned that in the sound of music too.. they thought it was bad for your voice. I guess night air would have a lot more smoke in it from people lighting fires, right?

>>68448552
>that doesn't explain why it took effect on the real world
I thought it did too...but watching again the only evidence was that Jason Funderburker's name and bellyglow.
Greg might have been about to say "...escaped from a train," you know?
But the story was much too tight to show a dream of Greg's if it all took place in Wort's head...
...assuming of course that the oneri were a dream of GREG'S...

>>68447071
sorry anon, my condolences.

>>68448957
"Prior to the late 19th century, night air was considered dangerous in most Western cultures. Based on “zymotic” theory, people believed vapors called “miasma” (plural "miasmata") rose from the soil and spread diseases. Miasmata came from rotting vegetation and foul water—especially in swamps and urban ghettos.

Many people, especially the weak or infirm, avoided breathing night air by going indoors and keeping windows and doors shut.

In addition to ideas associated with zymotic theory, there was also a general fear that cold or cool air spread disease.

The fear of night air gradually disappeared as understanding about disease increased as well as with improvements in home heating and ventilation.

Particularly important was the understanding that the agent spreading malaria was the mosquitoes (active at night) rather than miasmata."

>>68449083
>Particularly important was the understanding that the agent spreading malaria was the mosquitoes (active at night) rather than miasmata.
Pretty wild how the act of staying indoors and shutting windows and doors actually had truth to it since it probably kept most mosquitoes out after all. This is why fairy tales have always been part of folklore across most civilizations - they are truth taken to a fantastical degree. Gossip, wife's tales, fairy tales, they all have a basis in truth pushed too far. The truth is grounding, the fantasy is compelling. That's why they resonate so intimately.

>>68448932
This part? Could've probably made it bigger but bit cautious on exceeding the file size limit

>>68448952
No current trends in faery tales.
Not faery tales.

A liminal place in our world leading across a boarder to a meta-liminal place that touches on several other "betweens."
"You have to go out the way you came in."
What you see there depends on what was happening here.
You have to commit a sin you were explicitly warned against to be taken by the Thing-that-take-Bad-Children.
Fey can't really hurt you unless someone gives them permission, but they can trick you into hurting yourself or others.
Fey have a collection of people that they have tricked into becoming objects.
Fey need to be perceived to be real, so they will trick you into watching them (lantern).

I hadn't seen some of these and more for years, but now they are back everywhere.
OTGW had quite a few.

>>68447071
I am so sorry, my friend.

>>68448894
If you can make some of Greg in Cloudland. Like when he fights the Old North Wind in the house, that'd be great.

>>68449208
They are a explanation for science.
People insist on things having a REASON, but all observation actually gives us is a relationship.
Something is observed to be so...but no one cares, no one bothers to remember...because no one understands WHY.
Someone makes up a compelling reason WHY something is so, and people remember, people take heed...and the story takes on a life of it's own, maybe even eclipsing and drowning out the real reason, when it becomes known.
People call these things Truths as well.
Can we trust that it really is mosquitoes? Maybe that is just another compelling story explaining a mysterious fact...

>>68449226
Beautiful.

>>68449521
The thing about science is that it doesn't seek proof, it seeks falsification.

There is no source for malaria other than parasites in mosquitoes, so any attempt to falsify that theory would fail.

>>68448838
>>68448952
>>68449262
I was asking why there were currently particular trends in faery tales.
Not why there are faery tales being told.

>>68449574
I get what you mean.

"Science presents falsifiable ideas and then examines existing evidence to test those ideas."

What I meant was that science presents observed relationships ("m^1 m^ 2/D"), while what people ask for is a "reason why"("because Rabbit stole the Sun").

>>68449655
The reason you're getting different answers than you expected is because those tropes have been present in faerie tales in some form or other for a very, very long time. The execution may have a modern twist, but the "rules" of Faerie are the same as they've ever been.

>>68449511
If you want it shortened so it's just the last part, let me know

>>68449857
Not for the past several decades in fiction.

>>68450102
Show us an example of a faerie story that doesn't exhibit any of those tropes in some form.

>>68450018
No that's perfect, thanks.

>>68450268
Made this too

>>68441956
Im so fucking mad, I set them to record because I had shit to do, and then the piece of shit COX box just went "Fuck you, queer" and didn't record them. I haven't even see past the second episode.
If it does the same thing tomorrow, i'm going to Jihad COX headquarters.

>>68450522
You can find them all on somewhere like kickasstorrents.

anyone know who voiced beatrice's mom? she sounds so familiar. Like... carol burnett

>>68449574
>There is no source for malaria other than parasites in mosquitoes, so any attempt to falsify that theory would fail.
but that's wrong, anon. it's only right until such time as it becomes wrong when they find something else. and then THAT will be right until they find some other something else.
in the end a theory is the same thing as a myth, something that explains something else.. a lie can explain things just as well as the truth, until you manage to poke a hole in it.

I just saw it just now for the very first time. That was really good, wow I don't think I remember seeing anything that was so rich in storytelling like OTGW did. I wish i could see it for the first time again.

>>68450590
Shirley Jones

>>68450631
>in the end a theory is the same thing as a myth
Not a scientific theory, though. Myths aren't generally tested and tested to be true since a myth is widely someone one accepts as presented and extrapolates from there instead of trying to investigate and discover the truth behind it.

Now, if you're just talking about a plain old theory like, for example, I came up with the theory you're all the same person trying to trick me into believing I'm on a board with a multitude of people and you're really just an shady government operative trying to figure out what potentially anti-government opinions I may hold so you could make me vanish in the night, now that would be the same as a myth.

>>68450756
you can't test a theory, you can only test a hypothesis. a hypothesis is what, but a theory is always 'why'. an inherently imaginary concept.. there's no difference.
if you could test a theory, you would. instead you have to sit around til you find something that disproves it, because a theory is always an assertion of fact, so it's something disprovable. as is any myth.

>>68450731
ahhh of course. the partridge family mom. that's super appropriate. her family is all gingers, and then birds.

Could also break it into two parts. I'm not really good with this shit

I-I drew them.

Did they ever release any songs other than the ten they put on their YT channel before/during the show's airing? I know that they were uploading some to their Tumblr page.

oh my god greg you can't just ask someone why they're not white

Shitty bitrate version

>>68452467
I just rewatched the last episode and it appears she is of color. That makeup threw me off. My thinking was that Wirt liked Lorna because she looked like Sarah. I would of liked it better that way being like foreshadowing or something

The Smurfs.
Wynxs Club.
The film version of The Lion, The Witch and the Waredrobe (I'll grant that first is there, and that every one is in the books, especially the cronologicaly first story...but not the film).

Now if we go back to Oz, stuff like that survived from page to screen, but these days it's not even on the page...until recently.

Even if it was the Beast, that dosen't mean that the imagery wasn't inspired by recent events and things he had seen.
