Animorphs

My expectations of this show were rather low. It didn't look that great but I thought I'd give it a try. It was a pleasant surprise. The show's premise seemed very odd, but it appeared to be more original than most of the stuff on tv today. Give it a look. You might not be disappointed.

Animorphs could have been a lot better. I have to say, they disappointed a whole lot of people, since the books sold pretty good. But as of now, the books are getting bad too. I suspect that KA is using ghost writers. The show could use better FX, and younger actors. Personally, I only watch it because I like Brooke Nevin.

Animorphs had the potential to be a great show had the episodes been longer and more frequent. It was short lived however the cast was full of very talented people. However as with every book based movie/series the books were better. Though I could just be a bit biased since I was a hardcore Animorphs fan. I do truly believe that the show was pretty good even if it was short. I hope to see the Animorphs actors do a lot more in the future. I do think this show was very good and worth any Animorphs' fan time. I hope this comment is helpful to anyone who takes the time to read it. So thank you for reading my comment! Animorphs Rule!

I remembered reading the books I've read when I was a kid and I think I took a view of the episodes of the TV show it was based on, but there are quite some flaws with this film including the part where Tobias revealed that he's the last to morph where as in the book series, he is the first to morph and the part where the Animorphs meet at Cassie's barn after their first alien encounter, they tried out their morphing abilities with Tobias as a hawk. Rachel's animal form was a cat while in the book her animal form was an African elephant, although in this show, she also acquires a lion form and Marco's animal form was a brown rat whilst in the book he never acquired that form.

With the flaws out of the way, there are some good stuff about this show. The acting is great. Shawn Rushmore did great, Brooke Nevin was good, and the rest were terrific. The action for this show is pretty amazing. The special effects aren't that bad including the morphing sequences with our characters and the music (including the theme song) was pretty decent.

Although, not a classic from the late 90s, Animorphs is still a watchable show if fans of the book series could get over it's flaws.

My first thought when I heard they were making a television series out of Animorphs? "How the *beep* are they going to that?" Well, apparently I am a primordial gizmo-challenged dinosaur. Nowadays, there is a wonderful shitload of what folks call "Special Effects." Or, "SpEff," if you will.

With Speff, we have managed to create one of the most horrendously adapted small-screen projects ever.

No, I am not a book snob. But really, the only benefit I got from watching this television series was a newfound understanding of the pronunciation of Tobias' name, and an urge to bash open my skull and gouge out every lasting morsel of respect I had for the books.

I had never noticed this before, but the thought-speak is ridiculous! It's like Doctor Dolittle gone Spandex! One day, when the 'Speff' and creative teams for television are better, perhaps they will try again-- with slightly better results.

Till then... 4/10
