''[[Over the Garden Wall]]'' is an American animated television miniseries created by Patrick McHale for Cartoon Network. The series centers around two brothers who travel across a strange forest in order to find their way home. The show is based on McHale's animated short film, Tome of the Unknown, which was produced as part of Cartoon Network Studios' shorts development program.

The series centers around two brothers, Wirt and Greg ([[Elijah Wood]] and [[Collin Dean]] respectively), who become lost in a strange forest called the Unknown. In order to find their way home, the two must travel across the forest, apparently magic, with the help of the Woodsman ([[Christopher Lloyd]]), and an irritable bluebird named Beatrice ([[Melanie Lynskey]]).

* [[Toe-Tapping Melody]]: A moment of this actually saves the brothers when they hopped on a frog ferry without paying the fee; Greg had tossed the pennies away impulsively, so they have to disguise themselves as band members to hide from security. When Greg and Wirt accidentally knock out the bassoon player, Greg and Beatrice the bluebird encourage Wirt to play, with Beatrice suddenly not wanting them to go see Adelaide. Wirt picks up the bassoon and plays... and Greg's new frog suddenly belts a beautiful melody. The frogs sing along, and they allow the humans to stay on the boat as long as Wirt keeps playing. They even offer Greg's frog a musical contract, but he chooses to stay with the trio.
