Over The Garden Wall’s Story & True Meaning Explained – Was It All A Hallucination?

Since its release in 2014, a lot has been debated about Over the Garden Wall‘s intricate story as well as the true meaning of the miniseries’ somewhat ambiguous ending. The 10-episode cult hit centers on half-brothers Wirt (Elijah Wood) and Greg (Collin Dean) as they traverse the Unknown — the strange woods they find themselves wandering around in. An autumn must-watch, Over the Garden Wall‘s first episode, “The Old Grist Mill,” doesn’t offer a lot of context for how and why the brothers are in the woods, choosing instead to play into the fairy-tale feeling of what can be considered one of the best animated shows of all time.
