Ojari: Patrick McHale got in contact with us earlier in the year, around March. He emailed us on a Monday morning, but I guess it came in really early, because we both checked our phones while waking up and saw this email.
The short is written by directors Dan Ojari and Mikey Please alongside the show's creator Patrick McHale, and it features new voice acting from original cast members including Elijah Wood as Wirt.
To reimagine Over the Garden Wall in a new animation medium, Ojari and Please's team relied almost exclusively on practical effects. Wirt, Greg, and the rest of the cast are hand-carved puppets that stand at a height of several inches.
The sets for the short-which took around two months to build-are ultra-detailed miniaturized scenes, including a full magic forest made to puppet-scale.
