If there’s one custom I can depend on each fall, it’s the annual rewatch of Over the Backyard Wall. The leaves begin altering coloration, pumpkins start to pop up in every single place, and I begin serious about venturing into the Unknown with Wirt and Greg. One thing tells me I’m not the one one. However this yr is further particular — as we speak marks the 10-year anniversary for the reason that miniseries debuted on Cartoon Community, and there’s a brand new stop-motion quick to have fun it. The quick, from Cartoon Community and Aardman Animations, options a number of the present’s unique voice actors, together with Elijah Wooden as Wirt, Collin Dean as Greg and Melanie Lynskey as Beatrice.
Over the Backyard Wall creator Patrick McHale pitched the thought for the stop-motion particular to administrators Mikey Please and Dan Ojari earlier this yr, Ojari instructed Quick Firm. All the figures are hand-carved wood puppets, and filming passed off in miniature units (together with a “10-by-10 sq. meter forest”) that took two months to construct. “The one factor that’s digital is the facial animation,” Please instructed FC.
The tip result’s actually lovely, and the proper primer to your yearly return to the unusual world of Over the Backyard Wall. It’s accessible to look at now on YouTube and X.
