This stop-motion short film revisits the magical world of Over the Garden Wall (2014) on its tenth anniversary.

Even if they made a whole feature out of this, it still wouldn&apos;t be enough.

It&apos;s difficult to rate this 10th Anniversary special because it&apos;s simply so short, but it&apos;s pretty much perfect for what it is. Sure, it could be much longer (and it&apos;s so gorgeous that surely everyone wants it to be), but it&apos;s also a delightful little experience exactly as it is. Crafted with beautifully tactile stop-motion that brings the intricate wood-carved characters to life in a previously impossible way, the tribute instantly transports you to the autumnal expanse of the Unknown and wraps you in a cosy yet somewhat wistful blanket of nostalgia and joy. It&apos;s a really nice experience, however brief it may be, that&apos;s clearly been put together with a lot of care and attention. There isn&apos;t much else to say about it other than it&apos;s lovely. If you&apos;re looking for a fulfilling narrative extension to the show, you may be disappointed. However, even if they made a whole feature out of this, it still wouldn&apos;t be enough. It&apos;s aesthetically perfect. My rating is even more arbitrary than usual; it&apos;s simply not useful in conveying the effect of this particular piece.
