I will admit to watching the sequel to...Bambi. ~20 years after I saw the first one. I liked it. It had references to the original.

Exactly! You can't beat childhood memories, and if I recall, Animorphs was a bestseller. I'm not worried about them being able to generate a buzz, because I know that they can.

Even if it doesn't "generate a buzz", who cares? We, the fans, are getting what we want (kind of). If the author(s) are gonna be doing this just to make some money, they're selling out, and that's stupid.

In a word: awesome.

A continuation of the series, or a new story with a new cast would be like a dream, a revamp of the series . . . hmm, I'm iffy, I like the series how it is for the most part, even where it dates itself, but then again it could be good. Anything new would be awesome though.

I'm all for it! I hope there is going to be more books. I'm 23 and even if the books were aimed at 10 year olds, you can bet ill shove some preteens out of line so I can buy them first

Precisely my sentiment. :D

The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

It's probably a fat chance but if it did happen I think I would just drop down and die! That would be AWESOME!!! I'd like it to be a continuation of the series and not a re-write, though. Also, for older audiences. I think it should be a series of about 5-7 medium-long length books instead of 45 million 100+ page books. I really hope this turns out to be true. I'd probably have a heart attack and end up in the hospital, though.

Most children won't want to read some of these ~400 page books I've seen. Like the Ice and Fire series, or whatever. Though I think Maximum Ride books are kind of long, and they're geared towards kids.

The animmorphs 2.0 is going to be either a complete bowlderization that will make the old series look alot better or it will just be set in modern times. The more controll the author has the better because the more controll she has the less likely schoolastic will make it a money making series with cheap merchandise.

I think applegate is alot more carefull about that now I have never seen any merchandise from everworld, or desendents (forgive my falty memory if wrong).

Animorphs 2 has great potential lets just hope applegate is more assertive this time around.

See, that's where I think a problem might emerge. Scholastic owns the rights to Animorphs. Technically, they can do whatever they want with the brand without author input.

On top of that, AppleGrant are in the midst of their own projects. Applegate is accepting an award for her children's books and Grant is busy with GONE. I don't know if they are at a point in their careers where they would want to be going back to old projects, when they are doing so well with their new ones. It seems like a step backwards, as far as career moves go.

Youre so right.  Which is why I think this rumor will only ever be a rumor.  Probably started just to give us something to talk about...

Well, it's not like the stories are going to be written NOW. They're speaking about the future. KA said she would be psyched if Schoolastic green lit a 2.0 project. She could write the beginning without Grant, then when Grant has time, or when/if he finishes Gone, he can jump in.

More than likely, it'll probably be years before anythings written if it's even green lit.

I think Katherine did her bets work with Animorphs when she didn't have other stuff going on. So if they do something, and include her, I'd rather she didn't have or make any distractions.
