Showed my fiancé Over The Garden Wall for the first time, and he really enjoyed it!
Also rewatching the show reminded me of how much I loved this show, and it got me into the mood to make some fan art

The Ghost and Molly McGee - Festival of Lights/ Saving Christmas (Season 1 Episode 10; 27 November 2021)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This episode of Disney Channel's The Ghost and Molly McGee, about the young girl Molly McGee and her family moving into a house haunted by the ghost Scratch takes advantage of the usual 2 segment format in a rarely used manner, to celebrate not just Christmas but also Hanukkah.
Hanukkah is to the best of my knowledge rarely acknowledged in holiday specials, with perhaps the most familiar example to me being the Rugrats Hanukkah special which featured a good retelling of the Hanukkah story.
Festival of Lights therefore is a welcome example of a rare Hanukkah special. The McGees have been invited to spend Hanukkah at the book store owned by the mother of Molly's best human friend Libby Stein-Torres but a power cut occurs forcing the use of a backup generator which seems not to have enough fuel to last the night (the way this is resolved neatly reflects the actual Hanukkah story).
From there the story is neatly divided into a number of sections depicting what happens over the course of 8 hours including Scratch enjoying greasy Hanukkah food, various Hanukkah games (including dreidel) and Libby telling the story of Hanukkah.
Perhaps the best and most emotionally affecting of these is what happens in the 7th hour as Libby's mother explains the history of her family's menorah with her ancestors having to flee with it from an anti-Semitic riot before showing how the menorah has always been there through the generations as a symbol of hope in difficult times.
Overall, Festival of Lights is an extremely strong Hanukkah special that nicely blends fun and emotion while also explaining the importance of the holiday for the uninitiated.
Saving Christmas is a much more traditional Christmas episode featuring a town festival and a riff on A Christmas Carol. When the annual Snowflake Celebration ends up being cancelled due to all the Christmas decorations being destroyed, Brighton ends up losing it's Christmas spirit and Molly is determined to bring it back. She tries to get Andrea Davenport's father to help fund a restored Snowflake Celebration but he refuses and so with Scratch playing all the ghosts, he experiences his own version of A Christmas Carol though he is not so easily swayed into changing his ways...
It would have paled anyway compared to the excellence of Festival of Lights, but in my opinion Saving Christmas is a very weak take on A Christmas Carol and it's not particularly helped by the fact Andrea's father is extremely unlikeable and even his redemption is sabotaged by his unbearable ego.
There is a nice festive ending but ultimately Saving Christmas is much the weaker of the 2 holiday specials in this episode. Nevertheless, this unique pairing of holiday specials is worth a look to celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas, with Festival of Lights a particularly outstanding achievement.

The Owl House - A Lying Witch and a Warden (Season 1 Episode 1; 10 January 2020)
Tumblr media
Today marks the 5th anniversary of The Owl House, one of the first great shows of the 2020s about Luz Noceda, a human who travels to the Boiling Isles in another dimension and learns to become a witch.
This first episode nicely sets up the premise of the show and introduces us to the main characters. Luz Noceda, a human with a particularly vivid imagination finds herself in trouble at school, seemingly unable to fit in and her principal suggests she be sent to a summer camp in order to fit in.
Just as Luz is about to leave for summer camp, a mysterious owl-like creature steals her Good Witch Azura book and she follows it through a mysterious doorway into the Boiling Isles, where she soon meets Eda, a witch selling various human items from Earth, but it soon turns out she is a wanted criminal on the run, but she takes a liking to Luz and takes her with her, where Luz's adventures in the Boiling Isles begin...
Compared to later episodes, this is a somewhat unusual first episode and I remember thinking at the time that the various supporting characters who appear in this episode would become major characters before their roles were much reduced in future episodes, and major characters like Amity Blight, Willow and Gus would only be properly introduced in future episodes (however they all make their debut in the closing credits of this episode).
Nevertheless, this is a good way to begin the show by introducing the main trio of Luz, Eda and King, a self-proclaimed king of demons with a thirst for power who is nevertheless seen by Luz and Eda as a rather adorable creature. Their personalities are quickly established and the foundations of Eda and King's relationship with Luz are laid. They all make great first impressions, particularly Eda who is an extremely funny character and from her first scenes in this first episode, it's no wonder she subsequently became my favorite character in the show.
The prison break plot that occupies the second half of this episode is also solid and features a few funny surprising twists too.
Overall, an entertaining start to a great show that makes a good first impression and does an excellent job of establishing the show's premise and the characters. But even better was about to come...
