Oh, well I don't know if it was meant to be sarcasm. I got that info second hand.

However, I still believe it should have been animated. Might have turned out better.

I'm pretty sure the arm wrestling was the end result of the special effects people going..."you want us to make them attack with their TAILS?...well, get out the broomsticks..." o.O;

i remember how obsessed i was with the show when i was young, even though i hated how they changed so much lol.  i remember i would watch every episode when it first aired and then every time they would do a rerun.  and i would get so upset if i turned the channel and saw i missed one of the reruns lol...so pathetic lol


and the movie talk...i always pictured something like The Invasion and The Message put together. i considered books 2 and 3 to be mostly filler.  but i think combining 1 and 4 would work cause it would give the introduction stuff that the first book did and by combining it with The Message, we would be able to introduce Ax in the first movie...so we would have all the animorphs introduced in the first film

actually, ax originally was to be introduced in book 2. but K.A. changed her mind when she realized animorphs would be a long-running series.

3 was actually kind of important to Tobias' character, but it did seem like #2 was a filler book. It would be good if Ax was introduced in the first movie, though.
There's a method to my madness, I just haven't figured it out yet.

yea but Im pretty sure it's one of those books where if it didn't exist, there wouldn't be any significant changes to the rest of the books(aka filler)

Well, not really, I think the hawk vs. human debate would confuse us if we just skipped to number 13. Plus, I dont think we'd like Tobias much if we didn't see this self battle in him. :)
I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end.

I never really liked any of the books narrated by Tobias anyway :P :-\(except the one where the Yeerks find out the "Andalite Bandits" aren't really Andalites.)

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I don't think Tobias' books are that bad. They kind of just...almost the same thing, I guess. But, mostly the Tobias books are important to his character.

I liked the part where Bird-boy goes to the ball... or prom.... Also the part with Elfangor touched my heart. I dunno, I'm not a bird-human or a son of an Andalite hero, but being a loner, the "hawk" in my group of friends in the lone sky, I kinda relate to him.

I would LOVE to see a movie for Animorphs. Not really based off any specific storyline in the books, just based off the books in general. Kind of like how the original Power Rangers movie didn't have anything to do in the timeline of the series, nor was it based on any specific plotline from the series, or like any of the recent superhero movies aren't based on any specific plots from the comics, just off the general ideas.

With today's effects and larger-budgets, and the rise in Superhero movies, they could easily do a 2 and a half hour long Animorphs movie that caters to both kids and adults alike that could be truly epic.

     Didn't you hear? Visser Three was so insulted by how he was portrayed in the show that he burned down the Director's house, and obliterated the tapes at Nick Studios. He didn't know that they released VHS tapes.
