Show creator Patrick McHale teams with directors Mikey Please, Dan Ojari, and the Aardman stop-motion team to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his much beloved (and Emmy-winning) Cartoon Network miniseries Over the Garden Wall.
From Cartoon Network: “Welcome back to the Unknown. Walk through the familiar yet mysterious mist. Feel the gentle wind beckoning through the leaves. Listen closely to the bird songs and whispered secrets. And join Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice in their quest to answer life’s biggest question; are we all lost?”
The more studious among you will remember Mikey Please and Dan Ojari (who have since earned an Oscar nomination for their Aardman feature Robin Robin) from their days as directing duo Parabella and their short film Alan the Infinite.
