where's the 'loved the book', 'thought the show wasn't any good' option?
i think they needed to spend a bit more money/have been technology to make the morphing/alien effects.
the andalites looked pathetic.

i remember something about 'the disk' and stopped watching there. :-\
plus it wasn't even on when i watched it (i borrowed a friend's VHS).

I love the books, but the show was just okay

I agree that they should've had writers who actually read the books or had KA be a part of the show. but since neither of those happened we got stuck with a werid subplot(the disk), THE WRONG ANIMALS(DUMBASSES!!!! they didnt even get the right type of hawk for Tobias) Rubber arm wrestling Andalites(very sad) no Taxxon(sadder)

The only good things I can think of is tht they made Cassie hot, they had her be allergic to the alligator instead cuz it was more ironic and cuz Rachel had way too many episodes, the actors were a bit too old but they were still good, and the Hork Bajir were okay(just wish we could've seen more of them)

I said I liked both, but I actually loved the books and liked the show.

I have been tempted to watch the show for humour value, which I actually tried last year. I watched an episode on YouTube and was instantly reminded why I stopped. I found myself mentally screaming at the screen every five seconds when something was wrong, inaccurate or just plain stupid.

I liked it coz Jake was hot.

I remember in the first episode Jake finds out Chapman is a controller because he sees him scratching his leg at the construction site, then he scratches it in the same way at school.  ::)

lol.

Ha ha, yeah that's not jumping to conclusions or anything. Obviously scratching his foot is proof that the assistant principal at your school has an evil alien slug in his brain!  ::)

My personal favourite is how all the Controllers start scratching their ears when the Animorphs are nearby...

same there. it's as if the people who made it didn't even read the books.
plus, none of the characters looked right. tobias was completely wrong.
cassie wasn't supposed to be pretty.

I thought it was hilarious that he knew Jake was a Controller, but only AFTER Jake scratched his ear! XD

Aw, if I ever do another poll, I'll make it more accurate or give more choices, promise XD

Neways, the whole scratching-the-ear thing was so lame :P

I think the one thing that made me realize how obsessed I was/am with Animorphs is when Ax told the group how he was enjoying his human morph and loved being in it. I was like "NOOO, THAT'S NOT TRUE! HE ENJOYS THE HUMAN MORPH FOR IT'S TASTE, BUT HE DOESN'T LIKE BEING IN IT FOR LONG"

At least, I think that was true XD

Yeah, Ax only likes the morph for taste and mouth sounds. Otherwise he missed his tail, and feels awkward and defenseless.

As I told Esplin:
If the Animorphs from the books came to the TV show, the war would be finished after 5 days and the Yeerks destroyed.
If the Yeerks from the books came to the TV show, the Animorphs would be Controllers or dead after 2 days and Andalite planet after 1 month.

LOL yeah I love how they made it so obvious that somebody was a controller that should make the war a lot easier for them and who knows? maybe this little advantage would result in TV Rachel(HOT!!!!) staying alive  ;D LOL tht show was so terrible
