Over the Garden Wall

Led through the mist by the milk light of the moon
All that was lost is revealed
Our long-bygone burdens mere echoes of the spring
But where have we come, and where shall we end?
If dreams can't come true, then why not pretend?
How the gentle wind beckons through the leaves

As autumn colors fall...

—Opening theme of the first episode

Over the Garden Wall is an American animated television miniseries created by Patrick McHale for Cartoon Network. The series centers around two brothers who travel across a strange forest in order to find their way home. The show is based on McHale's animated short film, Tome of the Unknown, which was produced as part of Cartoon Network Studios' shorts development program.

The series centers around two brothers, Wirt and Greg (Elijah Wood and Collin Dean respectively), who become lost in a strange forest called the Unknown. In order to find their way home, the two must travel across the forest, apparently magic, with the help of the Woodsman (Christopher Lloyd), and an irritable bluebird named Beatrice (Melanie Lynskey).
