I re-watched Over the Garden Wall about a week ago and I don't think it's a masterpiece or anything, but it’s honestly so magical to me that people can just make stories like these: true passion projects. I was in tears by the end of it, and I don’t know why. It was just beautiful to me. This is why I’m so against Warner (and other studios) axing shows off their platforms, because killing shows with a living, beating heart like this or Infinity Train or anything else, is too cruel. These are dedicated works of passion that deserve to stay in the light of day forever.

[@Sparkedout]

The masterpiece thing is more of an attention grabber rather than a description these days, but I agree with everything you say 🗣️🔥

[@MrNewdl]

The story of Over the Garden Wall is a retelling of Dante's Inferno (or, a walk through each of the nine circles of hell). The second episode resembles Limbo, the first, circle, in which souls who were born before Christ wait to be rescued and are not tortured but rather just left in anticipation. This reflects the pumpkin people who only ever want to stay. The third episode resembles Lust, the second circle, in which souls are blown around by harsh winds. Lust not being inherently carnal here refers to Ms. Langtree, but also the school director. If you listen carefully there is a faint wind sound as the characters enter the school. The fourth episode represents gluttony, in which souls cannot eat or drink for eternity. As an additional punishment, Cerberus guards this circle and will tear apart souls. One of only two places in which we see a dog is at the doorway of the bar, guarding the way. Additionally, though food and drink are plentiful we always see the plates of the bar patrons empty and we never see them eat. The fifth episode represents greed, in which the wealthy Quincy Endicott resides within a massive lonely home and the brothers seek coins, and even try to steal. The sixth episode is anger (wrath) and this also has the ferry, which may represent Charon. In Dante's Inferno, souls (which have been referred to as frogs, CN) lie in mud much like the frogs. The seventh episode is Heresy. The woman is possessed, her "aunt" is a witch, and her transformation is referred to by her aunt as "turning wicked". The eight episode is violence. This is the weird cloud dream in which Greg fights a cloud monster. That scene has a lot of symbolism, but also worth note is that Wirt is swallowed by trees and begins to grow into one. In Dante's Inferno, people who commit acts of violence towards themselves are turned into trees that feel pain; and this is right after Wirt gives up. the ninth episode is treachery, in which we see the beast in the light for a few frames. It is worth noting that this is the circle in which Satan is held in Dante's Inferno and the Beast is Satan. Also worth mentioning is that this circle is, within Dante's Inferno, very cold, much like the snow seen. The tenth and first episode are narrative. The first represents the entering of Hell and the tenth is likely unrelated to the circles overall. Also worth mentioning is the Beast definitely being Satan, Beatrice being the name of the lover that Dante seeks in Dante's Inferno, and Wirt's love for poetry and costume very closely resembling Dante (the main character in Dante's Divine Comedy) meaning Wirt likely represents Dante. Love the video, keep it up

[@NotWorthBeans16]

So question. I don't know why I didn't pick up on this sooner. The "wolf" that is actually a dog looks like Beatrice's dog. Am I nuts did anyone else make that connection?

[@thehistoryandbooknerd8979]

Spoilers! Yep! That dog is her and her family’s, the mill too used to be theirs before they were cursed by Adelaide to become blue birds

[@NotWorthBeans16]

@@thehistoryandbooknerd8979 I did now know that. Like I knew it was a reference back Dante's inferno when he's attacked by the Shewolf, Lion, and Leopard but this is so much more interesting

[@connorscanlan2167]

This has a very "1800's Americana" vibe to it, and for some reason, that just suits Autumn. If you had to guess, what kind of "Americana" aesthetics would suit the other seasons? When I think "summer," that kind of 50's/60's "rock 'n' roll/Populuxe/Googie" aesthetic comes to mind. But what about winter and spring?

[@Sparkedout]

Interesting question, I’ll think about about it :)

[@PeanutButterfly92]

I think winter would be represented by 1940's Americana. Mostly because a lot of iconic Christmas songs were written during this time. But also there was a lot of emphasis in that decade's pop culture of community and togetherness, as well as the awareness of the war that was happening across the seas. Which to me, kinda fits the idea of snuggling together by the fireplace while a bitter winter storm is brewing outside.

[@connorscanlan2167]

@@PeanutButterfly92 That makes sense. It's spring that's going to really be a hard ask, since... spring isn't very iconic in the US, is it?

[@PeanutButterfly92]

@@connorscanlan2167 Yeah, the only thing I can think of is maybe the late 1960's & 1970's flower children?

[@dx.feelgood5825]

@@PeanutButterfly92definitely the sixties and seventies in terms of aesthetic. Led Zeppelin has a few songs that make me think of spring. Like the Rain Song. And the Beatles’ All You Need Is Love and Penny Lane make me think of late spring

[@elegant.destiny]

I watch OTGW every Fall, it's an animated classic.

[@cosmicslayer1212]

I would say the Unknown is a place in a purgatorial state, but it also has things that are from hell(The Beast and the evil spirit being the main suspects). Also, fun fact, Purgatory is not under the power of the Beast in Christian doctrine, It is on the contrary an in-between place where holy souls must be purified of their inperfections before they can enter Heaven. A temporary hell one might say.

[@iamfiras9736]

When the beast was shown my trypopphobia quickly rises.

[@vampire.cemetery]

I love over the garden wall, I watch it every year when fall comes around

[@juleksaas4144]

Its a great show, a really great show. It caught my attention as soon as I found a episode on some random playlist, I thought it was a show from 2000s or something but then I looked it up and yep.. 2014!!!??? that show was aired on CN along with stuff like Clearence, Uncle Grandpa and Teen Titans Go? I was blown away by how artistic and touching this show was and how good and inspiered it looked for a 2010 CN . Also the Polish dub of this show rules and I prefer to watch it in that version (I'm from Poland)

[@Sparkedout]

Cool 👍🏽

[@Naviwolfweddy]

I remember watching the show when I was a young horror obsessed boy at the age of 5 or 4. The show will always hold a special place in my heart being unsettling but beautiful all at the same time.

0:12 yes - Clone Wars was always my favourite Animated Show but when i rediscovered OTGW a few years back... yeah...

[@Sparkedout]

I’m working on a clone wars project rn so stay tuned!

[@4swordsluver]

I've watched it about 7 times this autumn, it's a perfect show. Not a single thing should be changed about it!

[@sirsir9665]

No it's definitely it's own style. It's hard to make something similar to it.

Thank you :)

i remember watching this at school with you and all i wanted was to watch Over The Garden Wall today and i remembered this video

[@itsphrogger]

i have yet to rewatch OTGW this fall but i dressed up as wirt for halloween and that shit was fun 😎

[@Sparkedout]

[@arcaine3907]

there are np fillers... it's GROWING, establishing characters, showing their flaws.... it' awesome storytelling that's not a filler it's essential to the story

Awesome video dude,I can see your channel growing into something great.Keep up the great work 👍

[@Sparkedout]

Just uploaded a new video, thanks so much! :)

God damnit, I was going to make a video with that title Good vid btw

[@Sparkedout]

That’s happened to me so many times lmao

[@theworstspeedrunner]

@@Sparkedout also minor correction for the video There were originally going to be 17 eps but they cut a lot from the show actually. Each part was kept in for a purpose while having a lot of deeper meanings.

[@StrangeHooves]

Nice video. I absolutely adore this show.

[@Sparkedout]

Appreciate it make sure to share this to friends :]

[@UnknownUser-ow5zb]

Was this meant to be an Emplemon homage? If it was, then I don't think it succeeded, but the video is still good in its own right.

[@Sparkedout]

No just has the same title, I just started making videos

[@ultimatebishoujo29]

Over the Garden Wall is such a masterpiece!!!!!

[@phoebeaurum7113]

Just making an overview of the series isn't very good. You need to analyze the work you talk about. If I've seen the show you don't have to tell me what literally happened in it and if I haven't seen it I only learn the plot and I should have watched the show instead.

[@Sparkedout]

Fair, keep in mind I just started doing content and I’m still learning the ropes. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏽

[@Sparkedout]

Oh also, the video was summarizing each episode to then cover what I like about it, not analyzing every little detail because watching for enjoyment is inherently more enjoyable for me

[@v8coool]

That would be boring as shit I would fall asleep

[@yalhexander5641]

Loved it but hated the ending.

[@Dr.Twat.Waffle]

people think this. First off so many people have never given "Summer Camp Island" a chance & it does a lot of cool shit, just like OTGW - but people think it's for small children -. it's not The cast alone is a huge reason that show is awesome. Second, you can't say "never". it's very definite

[@Sparkedout]

I’ve never seen summer camp island, It came out it in my cartoon dark era where I didn’t watch any. Ever since I watched otgw when it came out I thought it was incredibly unique and I do believe there’s nothing quite like it. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼

"Never" is for people who dont believe other people exist. I know its probably for clickbait, but know that the world is vast and there are plenty of fans of this mini series that will go on the create fantastic things.
