Retter von Redwall

I first saw the Redwall TV series when i was 13, and i have longed for more ever since. When i saw the movie, i was inspired. It manages to take parts from the series and edit them into one movie without deterring the plot or characters. I cheered for Matthais, chuckled at Basil Stag Hare(and Cluny) and was overall pleased by the quality of animation and music. Is the movie perfect? No, But it's not trying to be. The producers did a good job of sticking close to the books while making it more viewer friendly for youngsters as well as adults. In the end it made me want to make a new movie with similar animation and music, but the same values the movie stresses: Courage, Love, Loyalty. But if it never happens, i'll be glad that Brian Jacques allowed us Redwall fans a brief movie experience that inspires and teaches.

I haven't read the book, but I am still looking out for it. I saw all the episodes on YouTube and I was very impressed, as I am consistently with Nevlana. The animation is clean, the characters are convincing and there is humour thrown into the mix. I loved the fact that the plot evolved over a whole series, very clever. I don't have a favourite episode because I loved it all. I loved the drama and the depiction of violence and adventure that enhances the story like Redwall did. The best character in my opinion is Slagar, voiced magnificently by the ever versatile Tim Curry. In the second episode, although he is a real villain, you feel sorry for Slagar, when you see his disfigurement. Another great character was Basil, he was hilarious, and Baby Rollo is so cute. The other voice talents are entertaining too, along with the endearing subplots. The music is so beautiful, it really takes you back to the medieval times. Overall, I loved it! 10/10. Bethany Cox

I am a literary woman. I love films (animated or live-action), theatrical shorts, and TV series based on books. I was quite shocked by the negativity I heard or saw on the internet. I've watched this show, and frankly, I find it awesome! The television series captivated me, and then I discovered the "Redwall" novels.

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 top-notch voice casting. Anyway, it's a great TV adaptation of the novel.

The original Redwall animated series distinguished itself as one of Nelvana's finest series with a magnificent adaption of Brian Jacques' first book.

Now this series does Jacques' third book even more justice. If anything, this series depicts more drama, starker perils, and a higher standard of artistic excellence for the company to follow. Correspondingly, the series has more violence which is handled with a care which enhances the story rather than distracting from it.

If you get an opportunity to see this series, don't pass up the chance to see just how good Canadian television cell animation can be!

This show is surprisingly (and beneficially) complex for something made for children. It has a great plot that branches off in several directions as it follows the adventures of different characters, and it all comes back together in the end. The excellent story is filled with memorable characters and harrowing adventures, all designed for the younger crowd. If you are a fan of the Redwall books, occasionally there will be a little "easter egg" just for you to pick up, and you will appreciate the show's loyalty to the original text. If you are tired of nothing but Japanimation or the same old Loony Toons, here is a 'toon that will grab you from start to finish.
