Alright I've been wanting to post about this all day because I think y'all will really like this one.
This little cartoon is very much unlike most of the things that come through Cartoon Network's channel. It's a mini series that only lasted 5 nights, 10 episodes, starring Elijah Wood as the main character Wirt (the little guy with the pointy hat there). In this story Wirt and his brother Gregory get lost in the forest on their way home, and spend the rest of the series trying to find their way back home. Of course, they run into a lot of trouble along the way, and continuously receive ominous warnings from various people and creatures to beware "The Beast," a creature said to take the souls of children who get lost in the forest.
It's a little dark for CN, actually, but it also has it's immensely lighthearted moments. Literally everything Greg does (the little guy with the teapot hat) is lovely and cute and certainly bothersome to his brother Wirt. However many of the places they visit and people they meet are unsettling to say the least, and honestly borderline nightmare fuel for me, but it's always pretty well juxtapositioned against the cute lighthearted stuff (see: all of episode 3). If you plan to watch it, I suggest not looking it up on tumblr or any related sites because BOY are there some spoilers! They're everywhere!
And, you can watch the first full episode in HQ right here!
If you like it, this website here is alright for streaming episodes if you can deal with the ads. Otherwise, they're all on iTunes for relatively cheap, haha, but I've been watching the free ones.
So if you click that little link there and find you like it, or don't, what do you have to say about it? I wanna discuss this lovely show haha. Just remember to put spoilers in spoiler tags! I myself haven't finished it, but I'm on the second to last episode and boy howdy this is gonna be neat.
