8/10
It could have been an episode of the series

This was a neat pilot for the excellent Cartoon Network miniseries "Over the Garden Wall". And while this short is somewhat more lighthearted and less dark than the actual series, it still has many of its enjoyable qualities, such as catchy songs, nice music, very beautiful background art, a dream-like atmosphere combined with a whimsical story which seems to borrow several elements from classic fairy tales, American folktales and even those wonderful shorts from the Golden Era of animation (such as Disney's Silly Symphonies and the shorts done Max and Dave Fleischer)

I'm glad Cartoon Network was able to see the potential of this short, turning into one of their best and most memorable series. For those viewers who already have seen (and enjoyed) "Over the Garden Wall", this short would be a nice watch too.

8/10
