[Murder. She Wrote]

This show is so good, it deserves a lot more popularity. If it releases on Bluray I would buy it instantly, and I'm not one to do that. I hope CN changes it's mind and releases it.

I think my favorite part of the show is the setting. A Mark Twainian fairy tale with some dark scenes and themes. The animation was top notch and I loved the design/voice/singing of The Beast. I'm not one for musicals, but I enjoyed all the songs thoroughly.

If you haven't watched this yet do yourself a favor watch it. It's only 10 episodes and it's the best cartoon to come out of 2014.

Spoiler

2nd place goes to Bee and Puppycat.

Nice, hadn't heard about this.

Awesome. Definitely better than nothing.

Cartoon Network is weird with blu-ray. They release the Adventure Time seasons on it but everything else gets DVD. Regular Show Seasons 1 & 2 got a blu-ray release but the third season only got a DVD.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Blu-Ray or no sale godadmnit.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Blu-Ray or no sale godadmnit.

Pretty much. I'm glad they're releasing the show at all, but it's 2015 dammit. I shouldn't have to buy a beautifully animated show produced in full HD on a two-decade-old format in nasty-ass 720x576.

I don't care if they have to release it on no-frills discs in paper sleeves, I just want the episodes on blu-ray, presented at their best.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

What a strange decision.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Are you kidding me.

"Relive the wonder in lower resolution!"

Over the Garden Wall DVD announced. No Blu-Ray though
Patrick McHale:

Choosing not to release this absolutely gorgeous miniseries on bluray is a crime.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Over the Garden Wall (entire series) nominated for an Emmy! It's the one show that isn't a comedy aimed at adults, but hopefully it has a chance.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Not news, but I really like this cover of "Into the Unknown" (main theme)

 

[Hamlet]

Looks like there'll no Over the Garden Wall Blu-ray
Patrick McHale:

From what I've heard it seems unlikely there will be a Blu-ray release.
Is otgw also coming out on bluray? Or should I just go ahead and preorder the dvd?
just dvd, from what i've been told.

For special features

One of the special features of the DVD is commentary by me & @ncrossanimation for the whole series. Will reveal more features at later date!

Also Over The Garden Wall had a little cameo in Clarence recently.

More evidence to the theory that they both take place in the same universe heh.

Pretty good.

Over the Garden Wall (entire series) nominated for an Emmy! It's the one show that isn't a comedy aimed at adults, but hopefully it has a chance.

Hope it wins it.

DVD bonus features announced.

• Behind Over the Garden Wall: Short making-of that includes cast interviews and recording session footage.
• Original pilot: Tome of the Unknown
• Alternate title cards
• Deleted animatics
• Commentaries by creator Patrick McHale and art director Nick Cross
• Composer’s cut: Watch the whole series without dialog or sound effects, just music.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Limited edition cassette of Wirt's poetry readings for Sara. It's over 20 minutes of spoken-word stanzas by Elijah Wood set to woodwind music.

Also, the DVD (coming September 8) will have as a bonus feature a "composer's cut" that removes all spoken dialog and sound effects, leaving just the music and singing. EDIT: Ah, I guess this last part was already pointed out in the above post.

 

[Busaiku]

That'd be neat if they didn't move their mouths, but now it'll just be awkward.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Yes! This is wonderful news. I've been desperately wanting a DVD of this so my family could watch it. I thought Cartoon Network would never do it.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Over the Garden Wall won the Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program!

Some great shows in that category, but OTGW was something special. Well-deserved win.

Maybe with the Emmy hype, CN changes their mind

Omg yes!! I'm so happy more people are going to hear about this show.

Was able to get that mix tape from Mondo. Very cool!

Wow that's really great to hear.

 

[SigmasonicX]

From the composer's cut, the full version of "Come Wayward Souls", the song of the Beast. The part with the children singing isn't present in the previous official upload, and is talked over in the show itself.

I've never heard of this show until a few days ago. I saw this thread and decided to see what GAF thinks. So far it seems everyone loves it but this song has absolutely sold me. Is Over The Garden Wall streaming anywhere?

 

[Psxphile]

Over The Garden Wall will re-air on Cartoon Network in its entirety on Halloween, October 31st from 4:30pm to 6:30pm.

zap2it
tvguide (description is wrong)

Sure beats reruns of Scary Godmother.

EDIT: possibly correction but Pat McHale recently tweeted this.
So apparently they'll be airing the show all week, either 'instead of' or in addition to airing the full thing on Halloween (falls on a Saturday).

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

So, this was playing on CN today and my niece was watching it...

Sat down and didn't leave until I finished it. OtGW is incredible, I love the characters and the animation. Hopefully a Blu-ray release is announced!

 

[Psxphile]

Just to confirm, and because I thought it was interesting: OtGW aired all week in its entirety, and then Halloween night CN aired an abridged, 2-hour version.

-most of episode 1 was cut
-bits of episode 4 were also axed, mostly Beatrice scenes
-the entirety of episode 5, Mad Love, was tossed to the wind
-also some other stuff here and there

Not sure why they felt the need to do that, but oh well. Maybe they should have just aired the pilot Tomb of the Unknown instead (I really need to get around and watch that).
