Over the Garden Wall: A new CN miniseries

YES!

I caught one ep on Monday and the two last night. Have to miss tonight because of class, so i might as well scrap it and watch it as my nightly stream-cartoon (in lieu of Darkwing Duck)

So this was pretty good.

It was amazing. Rewatching it makes it more so. It's so great I can't even.

According to those comicbookresources.com descriptions, each issue of the comic book series happens after another episode of the animation: Just as the original one-shot special came after episode 2, issue 1 comes after episode 3, issue 2 comes after episode 4, and issue 3 comes after episode 5, so I gather they want you to go back and forth, revealing some of Beatrice's secret early, perhaps. Where could #4 possibly fall? Has anyone read the shocking story of Fred or the belated observation about Wirt's shoes?

I'm watching the replay right now on Cartoon Network and... I think they edited the first two episodes together. They removed them staying at the Woodsman's house and the dog.

Also, they just skipped the episode with the two rich people with the connected mansion!

McHale said on Twitter that it would be "slightly abridged".

Is there any explanation for what happened to Fred?

Nope, none.

Something horrible, perhaps. Maybe they crashed that carriage again, and had to do some drastic... measures for food.

"No will to break."

They edited together Adelade with the Auntie Whispers episode.

The end of episode six was supposed to be its own episodes, so making it the first half of another isn't that weird.

I'm very curious about this cut and who made it. How long is it? Discounting credits, the whole show is less than two hours.

They skipped so much of Greg's weird dream in Cloud City.

Okay so, to summarize: like 90% of the first episode was skipped, the end of the episode before Mad Love, all of Mad Love, and much of Greg's Cloud City dream. I liked those...

"Songs of the Dark Lantern" ended with everyone riding off on Fred, so they just skip from... where to the river boat?

They end before Fred's revealed as sapient.

So on the DVD's behind-the-scenes bit, it showed a little cut piece of dialogue, which explained why Adelaide really wanted a child-servant: her "horrid sister" had one, and Adelaide wanted to one-up her. Going to have to listen to the Composer's Cut at some point.

"I've come to the conclusion that this is a very stupid idea."

.... replay? All those scenes were played in the broadcast i saw.

Do you mean the episodes airing each of the last five weeknights, or the abridged version of the whole series from yesterday?

Yesterday.

I was asking kyun which broadcast he was talking about.

Ah.

..... there was an abridged version aired yesterday!?

More comics are coming: one is about the Woodsman's daughter, the other is about Greg's dreams after the series.

We're finally get a soundtrack.

I have a (cheap) record player, but after playing it once I'll probably keep it on a shelf, pirate a FLAC rip, and never take it out again.

What, for copying off the Alice Comedies?
