Fear The Unknown | Wirt's Journey in Over the Garden Wall

Over the Garden Wall is one of my favorite pieces of animation of all-time. A gothic, folksy, nightmarish fairy tale filled with bubbly, expressive characters, immaculate backgrounds and a perfectly paced, well rounded story. But beyond its surface level beauty, the miniseries also has an incredible character journey for its main character, Wirt, that ties perfectly into the show's themes.

And that character journey and these themes are perfectly framed by the name of story’s location: The Unknown

00:00 - Fear the Unknown
