Kiden Stormsoarer I read the animorphs books as a kid, and they were my absolute favorite series at the time. Now, 15 years later, I reread them and still love them. I remember when the show first came out, how excited I was that they were turning my favorite series into a TV show. Then I watched it, and was crushed. It was absolutely horrible, nothing at all like the books, and in fact, I only watched a couple episodes before giving up. Now, having reread the books, I decided to give the show another chance. I couldn't watch more than half of an episode before giving up. The actors are much too old, the plot isn't even remotely similar, and as for the aliens, they are NOTHING like they are described in the book, and they look like cheap halloween costumes. When Elfanger-Sirinial-Shamtul is first shown, he has horse legs and his stalk eyes look more like dollar store alien antennae, just stuck on top of his head and not moving around at all, which is something that is mentioned in most of the books. And for the love of all things holy, why is Tobias wearing jesses?! I know that it's just a trained hawk, but that pushes credibility. The writing was terrible, the effects were worse.

koolstilez Well Animorphs really did kick but in novel form. I never read the entire series but I remember the general story well and watched all episodes that aired to TV. It hit T.V and realistically followed suit with most children's books that get turned into T.V shows...In other words it sucked. Low budgeting, bad scripting, unconvincing stunts, special effect techniques of the 80s and a cast full of noobs not to mention the differences in personalities between the characters in the book and that of the show. Give credit to those brave young actors as they're the only reason the show made it through to 12 episodes. Good thing it did otherwise 2 great upcoming young actors in Shawn Ashmore may never have wound up in X-Men as the Iceman, and, Paul Costanzo who we all loved as Rubin in Road trip. Brooke Nevin's beauty was her saving grace cause I really didn't think she could act at the time as Rachel. But she's managed to hang on with small roles until her minor part as Nikki in the 4400 that has boosted her creditability. Apart from that it's no surprise to see Cassie, Marco and Tobias ended their careers. At least with good writing, bad actors can be made to look better. They only have the show creators to blame. This show had soo much potential to be soo much more but not in the hands of those who created it. Animorphs was sorta of a Heroes crossed with Stargate SG1 in theme, and look how successful those two have done and still do today. Big budgets, great writers, effects, characters and recognizable actors who CAN act. It's does wonders for a show...

gamemaster988 I'm sorry i missed this T.V. show. I loved the books. I read them all, I think. Heck my friends and I played Animorphs on the playground. Anyone know where I can get the DVD's? E-mail [email protected] if you know where. Animorphs were the greatest and i would really like to see the show. Even if there was only one episode. I hope that this final random rant fills the ten line quota.. but in all seriousness, I wanna see this T.V. show. I grew up on the original Power Rangers, Goosebumps, Animorphs, and G.I. Joe. I want this to be part of my child hood flashback. E-mail me if you know where to get the series DVD. [email protected]

hezza_mccloud Animorphs was a great series due to an original plot. The graphics were not the best but very good for a long term tv show. The acting quality was great from all of them except only Shawn Ashmore (Jake) and Paulo Costanzo (Ax) made it into big movies such as X-Men 1 & 2 and 40 Days and 40 Nights.The greatest part of animorphs was that it was different to the Book and had a feel of hope rather than the desperation that the book had. All the actors played their parts well and after watching this its impossible to imagine who else could have played the parts. A movie could've been made since their are several plots the TV series didnt use and the TV actors could be kept on for the movie.(Just a suggestion dont email me complaining about it). Anyway if you do get the chance to see it then do because it is a great tv series!
