The team at Cartoon Network has launched a special variation of the Over the Garden Wall short film. It is an annual tradition for the fall season when the leaves change color and even more special for 2024, it is the film's 10th anniversary. The miniseries kicked off a decade ago on Cartoon Network and the new stop-motion short honors the milestone.
The short is produced by the team at Cartoon Network with Aardman Animations. It features some of the original voice actors from the original show. This includes Elijah Wood as Wirt, Collin Dean voicing Greg, and Melania Lynskey as Beatrice. Patrick McHale, creator of Over the Garden Wall pitched the idea of a stop-motion earlier this year.
