Redwall

I don't think it is quite as strong as Redwall and Mattimeo, which were both wonderful, but this is an excellent series and like its two predecessors well worth looking out for. The animation is of very good quality, with the colours especially audacious, while the music is once again beautiful. The writing is uniformly good, and the story is superb, while like Redwall and Mattimeo the violence enhances the drama rather than distracts from it. The characters are engaging particularly the title character who is easy to relate to, while the voice work once again is outstanding from all involved. In conclusion, Martin the Warrior is excellent and worth a look. 9/10 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.

Redwall, based on the children's adventure novel by Brian Jacques, is set in an amazing fantasy world populated by animals. Its heroes, Matthias the mouse, Basil the hare, and Cornflower the mouse maiden, must save their abbey from the evil hordes of Cluny the Scourge, a villainous rat backed by a huge army. The plot is flowing and detailed, with Matthias' search for the sword of the legendary Martin the Warrior, political intrigue and backstabbing amongst Cluny's henchrats, and a vicious serpent that terrorizes the forest surrounding the abbey. This adder, called Asmodeus, eats creatures from both sides of the conflict, and Matthias' batte with the monster is reminiscent of timeless tales of knights slaying dragons. This epic series is highly recommended.

"Redwall" is quickly becoming one of the best animated series on television today. The series consistently well-written and nicely animated. The vocal work is also well done. Very few animated programs have been as involving, mature and intelligent as "Redwall."

"Redwall" is more proof that there is some great animated programs coming out of Canada nowadays.

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
