I think these boys are McLaughlin Brothers, the creators of the riverboat. One of them is winding the toy version of the riverboat from “Lullaby in Frogland” and putting it on the river. Quincy Endicott looks at the portrait of Margueritte Grey and sees his ghost love for the first time.Īdelaide sews another quilt for herself and she snips the thread with her special scissors that can make Beatrice and her family human again. These are the toy versions of the Tavern Keeper, the Highwayman, the Butcher, the Baker, the Tavern Keeper’s dog and two of the musicians made by the Toymaker. In “Schooltown Follies” Jimmy states that he got a job in a circus in order to buy a wedding ring for Ms. There is a circus and in that circus there is a ballerina on a horse, four peg leg musicians and the most importantly a juggling gorilla. Later in the epilogue in “The Unknown” it is revealed that the black cat is Enoch, the big pumpkin guard of Pottsfield.

Later we see a black cat riding a chariot full of pumpkins. So she could not stand, pick a pebble from the ground and throw it to the bluebird. When she saw the bluebird it reminded Beatrice to her family and their fight, because there are lots of bluebird figurines in their home. According to my theory, Beatrice had a fight with her family for a reason and she came to the riverside. If you remember Beatrice admits in “Mad Love” that she and her whole family turned into bluebirds, because she had thrown a rock at a bluebird. She looks angry, and when a bluebird fly from the bushes she looks at it with anger. In the prologue Beatrice and her dog sit on a riverside, and this river is probably the one next to her house. “Our long bygone burdens, mere echoes of the spring,īut where have we come, and where shall we end?” Our idea for the intro was to try and set the tone of the world by showing a montage of interesting vignettes while playing nostalgic music behind it… to make it feel like a bunch of memories that we’re recalling. Patrick McHale comments about the song by saying “This is the opening theme that plays in the first episode. Also the show ends with an epilogue while the frog sings the theme song again. There is a prologue as flashbacks of people in the Unknown during the song. The show begins as Jason Funderberker the frog (also known as Kitty, Wirt, Wirt Jr., George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Doctor Cucumber, Greg Jr., Skipper, Ronald) sings the theme song “Into The Unknown”. Please watch Over The Garden Wall‘s all episodes before reading this and be aware that the whole work consists of spoilers. In this piece of work I’ll explain my theory with evidences and I’ll conduct a little clue hunt in the Unknown through the episodes. There are lots of different theories out there about the show, but one of them is so obvious that majority fans of Over The Garden Wall agree: The story takes place in afterlife and The Unknown is purgatory. They meet Beatrice the bluebird (Melanie Lynskey), the Woodsman (Christopher Lloyd), and the Beast (Samuel Ramey) who turns lost souls into Edelwood trees in the woods. They had a frog companion (Jack Jones) all along the journey whose name changes every episode, until Wirt found the most appropriate name for him in the last episode. His little brother Greg (Collin Dean) is a funny, cheerful and precocious little boy. The big brother Wirt (Elijah Wood) is a high school student interested in poetry, playing clarinet and architecture. The miniseries tells about the story of two lost brothers in the woods called The Unknown and their adventures through their way back home. The show has become very popular since it was released in 2014. Over The Garden Wall is a ten episodes miniseries of Cartoon Network, created by Patrick McHale and based on Patrick McHale’s 30 minute animated short Tome of The Unknown.
