Gavin Cresswell (gavin-thelordofthefu-48-460297) Brian Jacques was well known for making his Redwall series as well as the Castaways of the Flying Dutchman series. His novels sold twenty million copies worldwide and has been published in twenty-eight languages making the series very successful until later in February 5 2011, he was admitted to the Royal Liverpool Hospital for an aortic aneurysm and died of a heart attack, but that didn't stop him for selling his rights to Nelvana (the company who did Maurice Sandak's Little Bear) to adapt his first Redwall book into an animated TV show.At that time before the first Harry Potter film was released, this TV show manages to bring the imaginative and innovative world from the book series and combines it with top-notch animation, a sense of humor, solid voice acting, and amazing action scenes. But not only that, it manages to have a darker tone and managed to treat its younger viewers like adults.The characters were very likable. Everything you see gets thrown at you. Matthias was a heroic warrior, Cornflower was very lovely, Father Abbot was wise and peaceful, Basil Stag Hare was very funny and brave Constance Badger was a lot of fun, and the rest of the protagonists were great.The villains (including Sela and Asmodeus) were great, but the only villain that I like the best was Cluny The Scourge because he shows his intimidation and he was so terrifying which makes him a very popular Redwall character.Let's not forget about the music in this show composed by Jack Procher and Daniel Fernandez. It was so catchy I'll be able to hum it every day of my life.Redwall is the most popular animated TV show from the early 2000s that captures the spirit of the book ever since I watched it as a little youngling or child for that matter and it will live on in my memory forever. A solid thumbs up from me.10/10

Earthbound20 As an older fan I think I speak for many people my age (20 years old) when I say that this show focuses more on the entertainment of younger children and therefore left the rest of us older viewers feel as though we were forgotten. Although the animation was clean and well done and the music did have that mid evil/epic aspect to it, the re-written story lacked maturity. I think it is safe to say that even though the book series is geared toward young adults, a child's cartoon only hinders the epic potential that this story contains. If someone where to try and bring the series to the big screen, I would recommend using the TV series as a reference, but not a template because it did do some things right.If you are a fan of the books, you are kind of taking a gamble with the TV series; either you'll like it or you'll hate it.

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) I am a literary woman. I love films (animated or live-action), theatrical shorts and TV series that are based on books. I was shocked, surprised and flabbergasted by the negativity I heard on the Internet. I've watched this show and frankly I find it awesome! and just to let know, watching this series is what got to read the "Redwall" series.I love the original characters they've put on the show: Wild Ivy the spunky, gypsy knife-thrower from a circus and Farlo and his wife Glendel the two dormice who sell spices; her name almost sounds like 'Gwendel' to me. The series also has an excellent musical score and a top-notch voice casting including : · Tyrone Savage...Matthias The Warrior, · Alison Pill...Cornflower, · Chris Wiggins...Abbot Mortimer, · Richard Binsley...Basil Stag Hare, · Janet Wright...Constance the Badger, · Susan Roman...Jess the Squirrel, · Wayne Robson...Brother Methuselah, · Graham Haley...Foremole, · Tracey Moore...Warbeak, · Diego Matamoros...Cluny The Scourge, · François Klanfer...Shadow, · Julie Lemieux...Sela The Vixen, · Jonathan Wilson...Chickenhound (her son), · Richard Denison...Captain Snow, · David Hemblen...Asmodeus, and... · Ben Campbell ...Voice of Martin the Warrior and King Bull Sparra.

Huang_Gai I've read ALL of the great books of Redwall, but the series kinda falls short.Even though it is well-adapted, there are parts taken out that are nice to see. Even though the creatures DIE in the series, the violence is depicted so childishly that I shake my headSPOILERInstance, when Log A Log was hit with a spear, he was supposed to be hit in the neck, not the back. The Robed rats also are slashed, stabbed, whatnot, but not a speck of blood or even spit is to be found, their clothes don't even tear.NOTE: I know it's kinda sick f I notice this kinda thing, but the book is based on the horrors of war and it's effects, showing kids GRAPHIC violence isn't the best, but showing a red tear were they were slashed isn't bad. Also, Jacques books depict graphic scenes of violence, too.Other scenes such as Slagar's appearance was a dissapointment. When I found out Tim Curry was playing him, I was expecting fearsome, not a fox with eyes that look like happy Jap. Anime characters.END SPOILERThe animation most of the times is pretty solid, with the exception of a couple of stiff movements. The voice acting is great. All character sound proper. And the story sticks to the book pretty well. Despite it's problems, I can't help but watch the show.
