I'm curious what about turtles being dark is "ominous" because to me the one seen in the short clip looked "adorable". Had there been a scene at one point with lots of bright colorful turtles to establish that they are bright and colorful under normal circumstances?

There’s a lot to love about Over the Garden Wall from the art, to the writing, to the music- it’s a veritable American folk tale in every sense of the term! There’s also a lot to love about this video, and as someone in the midst of writing my own world for a graphic novel it was incredibly insightful! Also, as another commenter said- no better video for crickets to insert themselves into the recording!

That turquoise in the last scene you mentioned could be there because it’s a rarer colour (expecially in a desert) that could represent the royal environment of the scene, and it kind of lights the scene with yellow and the other colours, that are also more bright because of the light. It’s just my guess, but this lighter aura maybe aligns with the fact all the main characters are clarifying their situation, they’re having some realisations and so they’re “lighting” up the drama and resolving the situation

Absolutely loved your break down! How you explained color is like how I understand it in my mind, but as words, haha. I do have a green theory! It's been a minute since I've seen the film, but in the scenes you presented, they were all in the Sultan's castle. Having an abundance of green plants is lavish and rich, a notable contrast to the arid desert they live in. I think it was meant to be noticed. Sure it broke the typical color story, but it worked in context as a story element. At least that's my point of view. :)

Thank you for sharing this fascinating bit of history! I'm intrigued by how often creative genius is paired with petty childishness or other foibles. Whatever their other faults, creatives are hardly ever boring. For the record, I adore not only your quality writing and deadpan narration, but the extravagantly silly cutaway gags. They wouldn't be half as funny to me if not juxtaposed against your dry tone and the classical subject matter. I look forward to your next video!

It's so crazy that you reference psalm 137, as it hits on another of the themes. Not of creeping sadness but a brutal viciousness and a world willing to harm children. You're using verse 1-4 ish but do you know it ends with a threat of revenge? Excellent video, I'm just a v weird nerd, lol. Psalmn 8-9 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is the one who repays you according to what you have done to us. Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

Hi! I love your work, and find your videos quite inspirational, but I want to tell you that Elena Kononenko is russian. And given the current situation with russian expansionist war against Ukraine, it might not be the best time to promote russian artists. Art and politics are intertwined, and highlighting artists from the oppressor's group is, at least in some way, overlooking the suffering of their victims (civilians tortured and executed, children being kidnapped, and homes being bombed, millions of refugees...) Even if this particular artist turns the blind eye to the war, and doesn't address it in her work, she's still part of the nation responsible for these actions. There are many talented artists worldwide who deserve the spotlight. Please consider promoting artists from other backgrounds during this sensitive time(

i see your point, but this is a view that's fatalistic in tts narrow view. There are those in Russia that work to undermine the war, and their efforts are crucial for Ukraine and in turn the world. The most effective way to fight anything, and especially wars, is to see the good in our humanity. As opposed to fighting hatred with hatred. Putin has no qualms in destroying everything that is good about Russia and he counts on sentiments like these to gain what he desires.
