Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

tinyfordst I've seen that this is the highest rated series on Cartoon network, so I watched all episodes.. couldn't help but feel like I just wasted 110 minutes of life. It wouldn't be fair to give the creators less than a 6 for the "series" seeing as a lot of work went into the songs and some of the dialog, but I can't understand how someone gave it higher than this. Guess I'll be sticking with Gravity Falls, adventure time and regular show, even though their scores are lower, seeing as they are more to my taste. And also have a story line, not just a general idea glued together with silly songs. If you like it good for you, but I would most definitely NOT recommend this

jdhooker This is a work of art the captures your childhood and your nightmares, stirs them in a bowl, bakes in the unlikely oven of Cartoon Network, sprinkles a little humor, and serves a fall masterpiece. As you watch this amazing story unfold you'll almost ask yourself "Where have I seen this before," and probably a better question, "How did this horrible channel ever produce this." The first is because the creator (Who I believe is friends with the guy who made "Gravity Falls,"Alex Hirsch, and the two guys who made "Rick and Morty" though don't quote me) inspired his world, awesomely called "THE Unknown", from grim fairy tales and American folktales. Both kinda send a lot ringing to the good old nostalgia machine. The second question I have no answer for- Steven Universe is pretty good- and they made that...that's about all I can say for them. I suppose it will always remain a mystery. Back to whats important-watch this great mini series (I advise around October) and enjoy a real delicious treat for the soul- also a quick note probably not for little kids can be kinda scary... :) " - jdhooker

quinimdb The summary for this on IMDb reads "Two brothers find themselves lost in a mysterious land and try to find their way home", but it should say "Two brothers look for their purpose in life in a strange land, while coming across many others who are doing the same". I never ever thought that a Cartoon Network animated show could ever stir so much emotion in me. Wert is a boy in high school who is too scared of failure to do anything in life. He is constantly searching for meaning, and for a place where he fits in. His little brother, Greg, really doesn't care about finding meaning. He tries to have fun and incite happiness in others everywhere he goes. The opening of the series tells us this will be a fantasy with a basis in reality.Everyone Wert comes by seems to fit in where they are except for him. They see danger everywhere they go, but the slowly learn that almost everyone has good intentions for what they are doing, except Adelaide, who they expect to be good. They learn that they can't judge a book by its cover, whether it's a good cover and a bad book or vice versa. Everyone needs to find their purpose, and many find it through love, whether it be for friends, family, or a significant other. He stumbles across one place that finds their place only in death. Wert helps these people find purpose, but finds solace in this only for a limited time, since he knows he's just going to need to keep searching for his own purpose.Greg eventually sacrifices himself to "the beast" (who represents the evil in everyone and how and why it takes hold of us) so that Wert can get back home. Only then does Wert realize that his brother is the only person that has stuck with him through all of this and usually gave him happiness through all of this. They end up escaping the forest (but almost dying), and Wert has gained the courage in himself to ask his crush out. Wert found purpose (for now) but the outro reminds us that there are many in the forest, still lost.The intro song to the show has the line "If dreams can't come true, then why not pretend" and only in the outro is it revealed how we can pretend. We see Beatrice as a human, having dinner with her family, but only to be laughed at (implying she ran away or was outcast), yet she still smiles for one frame, showing that she treasures even this horrible memory, and transforms it into a good thing. She, as the other characters are and the song playing over that moment suggests, is "dancing in a swirl of golden memories, the loveliest lies of all."

inkenchantress Over the Garden Wall (2014) follows the story of two brothers, Wirt and Gregory, who have become lost in the woods after climbing over the garden wall. The series follows their attempt to find a way home in the magical and maudlin world of the Unknown, where they meet friend and foe alike. Over the Garden Wall hits the perfect note between fun and fear. Though the series itself is not scary, it crafts a sense of foreboding from the first episode to the last, which only escalates as the boys' journey continues on and they see more of what the Unknown has to offer. The characters themselves are very consistent, which works well since the Unknown is a world of twists and turns. Likewise, the growth the characters experience as the show progresses - especially Wirt - feels natural without becoming cliché. The animation itself is beautiful, reminiscent (at least to me) of the older Disney animation style (before and during the Golden Age especially). To match this lovely animation is a superb soundtrack. Overall, I would highly recommend this series. It's fairly short, but each episode is very well-crafted, and the overarching plot of the series is engaging and dark and wonderful in the best kind of way.
