Its crazy how much you got right considering the art book wasnt even out at the time of this video wow

@Johnny2Cellos 6 лет назад

Haha it was pretty impressive right! I'm editing a follow up using a lot of the new info from the Art Book, should be out tomorrow!

@Johnny2Cellos 6 лет назад

Here's the follow up video! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MEAWV97fipk.html

It's the wizard of oz mixed with everything great about the 13 major fables. Love it

@Donteatacowman 7 лет назад

Show creators have stated that the similarities to Spirited Away weren't conscious/intentional but that doesn't mean they're not there! Some of the tone of the series was inspired by Hedgehog in the Fog, and the tree at 1:04 was directly referenced from the film as a little nod to it. :) And of course a lot of concept art (and thus some shots in the series) were laid out referencing Gustave Dore's art--Dore illustrated the Divine Comedy and a collection of folklore called Fontaine's Fables.

@chloepechlaner7806 6 лет назад

The germanic folk figure of the Erlkönig was hugely influential in the design and nature of the Beast, and the poem Die Erlkönig (the Elf King, or Arl King) later turned into one of the most artistic pieces of music period (seriously, its brilliant) was a major influence for the whole tone of the show and design of it.

@Johnny2Cellos 6 лет назад

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing, I'll be looking into that asap. I'm slowly getting enough new info for another potential video :)

@jaderush4141 5 лет назад

Ooh, I learned Goethe's "Erlkönig" in my German class. Even translated it into Russian. Like this poem a lot.

@sykonymous Год назад

The beast also gave The Girl from the other side’s beast called the teacher! It’s rarely brought up and im not sure which come first but after reading it then watching OTGW I couldn’t stop thinking about the resemblance

@hbluemole6941 Год назад

Came to the same conclusion but it's Der Erlkönig and not Die (german grammar lol)

@ravyncooper2779 7 лет назад

There are quite a few scenes taken directly from spirited away. There's a part where a frog jumps up in chihiro's face as she crosses the bridge, also in over the garden wall, and when the dog coughs up the black turtle and it scoots away, the same thing happened in spirited away when chihiro fed the dragon the medicine from the river spirit. He coughed up a little black demon think that just crawls away

@Johnny2Cellos 7 лет назад

OH YEAH! I can't believe I didn't catch those, thanks for the comment!

@fredarok579 6 лет назад

If you pay attention, you can even see that the ferry is labled "McLoughlin Bros."

@Johnny2Cellos 6 лет назад

Yeah! Pretty cool, I'm actually not sure why I didn't mention this lol

@rimfire8217 Год назад

It is always Fascinating to see that a single work of Art can be Inspired by a Thousand different things.

@pchopgoogle2565 5 лет назад

definitely loved this show. I could see the Moomins, George Melies, Filmation, lil Rascals, Washington Irving, Ray Bradbury in it. Its just a masterpiece.

@SouthJerseySam 7 лет назад

The interesting thing about Frogland is that the people who would work on that film would later work on a full-length stop motion feature called Le Roman de Renard (The Tale of the Fox), one of the earliest stop motion films and one of the earliest films that was salvaged.

@Johnny2Cellos 7 лет назад

I love this piece of Trivia! Thanks for posting

@SouthJerseySam 6 лет назад

You should see the film itself, it's pretty good.

@tedsowards 7 лет назад

Great analysis. I loved this show and I loved your editing of fast talking cut between the clips.

One of my favorite cartoons of all time

@gemimuljadi2299 6 лет назад

I found a reffrence from the story "dante's inferno". In the story, Dante went to the 7th circle of hell where there was this forest where all the trees use to be people who had did violence to themselves, kinda like the oil trees from OTGW

@gemimuljadi2299 6 лет назад

* reference, sorry my bad

@supercourmy 4 года назад

The tree at 1:04 in this video is inspired by the beautifful short animation video of Yuri Norstein wich is called "hedgehog in the fog". It was made with the multiplane camera and you need to look at it ! Such an inspirational work of art wow

@Loosie_fur 10 месяцев назад

Thats why I had a strong connection to this Cartoon. It's inspired by everything I grew up on. It feels like home. 🐸🐦🎃

@katnebula4501 7 лет назад

@dsjz_arts7835 4 года назад

This actually might help for me since Over The Garden Wall itself is an inspiration for my own work! Thank you so much.

@therangan3 6 месяцев назад

The glowing bell in the frog is a direct reference to the 1937 animated film 'The Old Mill'. Where a frog swallows a firefly and starts to glow and ring when they croak.

@lisaanspake835 3 года назад

I came to see Johnny with short hair, but I stayed because this video was just wow! I have never seen “Over the garden wall” but this was so jammed packed with info on it, I feel like I was there when they wrote the animation.

@caramel2408 7 лет назад

Interesting ^^ I never noticed any of these inspirations when I watched the show, but the animals in clothes always made me think of the Wind in the Willows. And Cloud City from Babes in the Woods reminds me of the Phantom Tollbooth, it just seems to embody the same bizarre whimsicality xD

@theghostofboxes2192 Месяц назад

Babes in the Woods is also the name of an anonymously written poem about two children getting lost in the woods and dying (which is were the Disney short drew its name).

@zeechops401 Год назад

Woah, I don't think I've ever seen Johnny with short hair! Happy to get this in my recommended now that it's spooky season!

@Johnny2Cellos Год назад

Stay tuned, new OTGW video this month :)

@mutantmuseum 9 месяцев назад

The kind-of-angelic song that that plays in the background when they go to sleep at the beginning of Babes in the Wood reminds me of the "Sleep, Children, Sleep" sequence in The Night of the Hunter, another story about two kids stranded far from home. Also a lot of the autumn backgrounds, especially in the first two episodes, feel like they might be influenced by the Nutcracker sequence from Fantasia and the Sleepy Hollow segment in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

@anastudio5248 2 года назад

I don't know if it was mentioned in the comments already, but "Come wayward souls" is inspired by the song "Oh holy night"

@brevi1 4 года назад

I think there are also a few explicit references to The Three Little Pigs's cartoon in the Cloud City scenes of Episode 8:)

@clown-cult96 3 года назад

Everyone’s talking about their favourite influences and mine is hands down the highwayman sequence. I absolutely adore Betty Boop and Cab Calloway and the first thing I saw was the infamous Koko the Clown dance number.

When the beast trying to grab the lantern with his shadow arm, I thing that scene is a reference to the Don't Starve.

@KaiKarina 6 лет назад

The going up to the clouds scene reminded me of the end of the anime movie A Dog of Flanders. But the clouds with the moon definitely have the Nemo feel! It's cool to read the comments too about what Cloud City reminded people of. Thanks for the video :)

@ohthisdipshitagain7844 3 года назад

Something I didn’t hear you mention is that babes in the woods was an old folklore children’s book about kids that got lost in the woods and died under a tree

It's hard not to cite The Adventures of Ichabod and Mister Toad as well, for general forest aesthetic and also in specific the tying of multiple sheets together to escape a window

@simmsquee 3 года назад

You need to watch more old cartoons. The cloud city episode is full of tropes from early cartoons from the 30's, usually involving societies of insects/toys/food that get invaded by a bad guy (like a big spider) who kidnaps a pretty girl and is thwarted by a heroic little guy.
