Over the Garden Wall

    The series follows two half-brothers, Wirt and Greg, who find themselves lost in a strange place called the Unknown. Trying to find their way home, they must travel across a seemingly supernatural forest, with the help of a bluebird named Beatrice and the occasional help of a woodsman, encountering the many strange inhabitants. Stalking the main cast is a mysterious creature called The Beast who is determined to make sure Wirt and Greg never get back home.

    Wirt, the older brother, is a worry-prone teenager who would rather keep to himself than have to make a decision. His passions include playing the clarinet and writing poetry, but he usually keeps these private out of fear of being mocked. On the other hand, Greg, the younger brother, is more naïve and carefree, much to Wirt's chagrin. Greg carries a frog that he found; Greg's attempts to give the frog a name are a running gag. Stalking the main cast is the Beast, an ancient creature who leads lost souls astray until they lose their hope and willpower and turn into 'Edelwood trees.' Beatrice travels with the boys to find a woman called Adelaide, who can supposedly undo the curse on Beatrice and her family and show the half-brothers the way home.

    Both the atmosphere and setting make the miniseries a must watch during the fall season, the whole series being roughly the length of a movie with an approximate runtime of 110 minutes.
