This is another REALLY smart show!
This little cartoon is even darker then Gravity Falls and it's overall concept focuses on the strange. There are so many theories about this show that I whole heartedly agree with. Like this one:
- Spoiler:
Ive seen a theory stating that the kids were in Purgatory while in the water and Wirt was thankfully smart enough to figure it out, wake up, and get them back home instead of giving in. And I completely agree with this theory because there are so many elements within the show that point to that conclusion and it just gives me goosebumps thinking about it because it's such a dark concept but THRY PULLED IT OF SO WELL.
The aesthetic of the show is beautiful too. I always rewatch it when Fall starts to come around because that's the season the show is set it and it's beautiful. The colors and atmosphere of it make you feel like it's a chilly autumn night out and it just makes me so happy.
The music within the show is haunting too. I could listen to the soundtrack over and over again because even though each song it only like a minute, minute and a half, the dissonant chords and lyrics gently caress your spine with thoughts of impossibly deep forests in fall and mysterious monsters lurking in the shadows and a slight tinge of hopelessness and it just adds to the show so freakin well.
And now that I've started fangirling I have to go rewatch it now
Seriously, if you haven't seen it yet, take s few hours out of your day to watch it. It's not a long series and the epsiodes are short so it shouldn't take you long. And I promise it's worth it!
