Lagos, Nigeria; 5 0ctober 2015:Cartoon Network’s first original animated
miniseries, Over the Garden Wall,
which recently won the Best Animated Program award at the 2015 Creative Arts
Emmys, will premiere on Saturday, 17th October at 8:20 AM on DStv channel 301.
This ten episode mystery adventure, created by
Patrick McHale (Adventure Time), features the voices of Elijah Wood (Lord of
the Rings Trilogy), Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men) and Collin Dean (The
War At Home) and is produced by Cartoon Network Studios.
Over the Garden Wall is the story of two brothers,
Wirt (voiced by Elijah Wood) and Greg (voiced by Collin Dean), who find
themselves lost in the Unknown; a strange forest adrift in time. With the help
of a wise old Woodsman (voiced by Christopher Lloyd) and a foul-tem-pered
bluebird named Beatrice (voiced by Melanie Lynskey), Wirt and Greg must travel
across this strange land in hope of finding their way home.
The visually stunning series offers a soft and
nostalgic storybook feeling, inspired by folk art, classical illustrations and
features a soundtrack full of Americana-influenced original songs. The ten-part
miniseries includes guest voices from film, television, theater and music. They
include John Cleese, Tim Curry, Chris Isaak, BebeNeuwirth, ShannynSossamon,
Jack Jones, Samuel Ramey, and Deborah Voight, among others.
Over the Garden Wall is based upon McHale’s
award-winning short, Tome of the Unknown. Pro-duced under Cartoon Network’s
prolific shorts pro-gram, Over the Garden Wall joins an illustrious list of
animated shorts to become a fully produced series on Cartoon Network (Regular
Show, Steven Uni-verse, Uncle Grandpa and Clarence).
The Over the Garden Wall miniseries premieres on
Cartoon Network, channel 301 on DStv, on Saturday, 17th October at 8:20 AM
