over the garden wall into the unknown lyrics

The autumnal theme of Garden Wall reveals itself in every frame of the show. This show emphasizes the brotherhood between Wirt and Greg, but also focuses on the families of many others in “the Unknown.” From the Pumpkin-wearing farmers in their strong rural community, to Beatrice’s single mother taking care of her many children, the show allows audiences to understand that family can look different than just the nuclear family unit. Though the show has a simple premise, it delves into themes of finding identity, coping with grief, and most importantly, valuing family no matter what said family might look like. Garden Wall is the first miniseries that premiered on Cartoon Network in 2014, featuring the story of two young boys, Wirt and Greg, trying to find their way home through a mysterious forest called “the Unknown.” Along their journey, they encounter multiple intriguing characters - a paranoid Woodsman, a Pumpkin-wearing cult, and a talking bluebird named Beatrice, who later turns into one of the boys’ traveling companions. After a week of waiting, Film Club found that students overwhelmingly chose Garden Wall for their autumnal screening, over arthouse film Autumn Sonata and cult-classic favorites like The Village and Miller’s Crossing.

Since last week’s theme was autumn-centric media, most of the options on the poll showed films and shows that focused on the beauty of fall in their storylines. Like many other Film Club screenings, the E-board chose a theme for the screening and allowed students to select various films and shows to watch through a poll. 20, the Hamilton Film Club hosted a screening of the beloved cartoon miniseries Over the Garden Wall in Kirner Johnson 127 to celebrate the arrival of autumn.
