Animorphs wasn't THAT dark.

Oh?  How many mainstream movies or TV shows have you seen that portray 13 year olds killing people?

That stuff just simply doesn't fly.  If you get an Animorphs adaptation for either the big or small screens, it's going to be dumbed down and compromise.  End of story.

It's an impossibility in this hippie PC environment of media regulation, and therefore it's best left to the reader's interpretation of the books, the kid visualizing the scenes as they read words off a page.  You're never going to beat that with a movie anyway.

Look, the public and the action groups kicked up complaints about BATMAN PUNCHING DOGS.  And you think they're going to tolerate middle-school kids turning into wolves and ripping people's jugulars out?  Or aliens slicing a gorilla's stomach open so badly he has to hold his intestines in place?

No.  Just no.

The special effects just aren't up to what would be needed yet.  Even if they were, the cost would be over the $300mil mark, which is virtually unheard of for non-established franchises.

I really don't think the f/x required would make this a King Kong-level budget. The first movie alone cvan be made with only 60+ mil.

Why The Mutation? It's not a plot thats really needed for the movies.

It's a filler book but a very cinematic story and also is set underwater

if there's no ellimist, why is the ellimist present in the third movie?

Dammit. I forgot to edit that part out. I will in a sec.

why cant you discuss the tv series here too

Because it's TOO long and is worthy of being spoken about separately.

'Cause they're too long.

Stop whining. This place is no IMDb and in no way busy enough for you to seriously care about multiple threads.

OH MY GOD

You do realize that the networks control the way these things play out right?  Is this thread b/c you're trying to actually bring this idea to life? Have you written any scripts, done any kind of promotion or idea pitching to a production company?

Im honestly not fond of the ideas you've proposed. But i really don't think that matters.

This is a thread showing how I'd like to make a an TV adaptation as well as how I think a TV adaptation would be best be done. It's all for laughs. Chill out.

I'm sorry, but this is really just a waste of time. Haven't you done this before?

I agree. I don't like these ideas. And you've included books that were irrelevant to the main story.

I disagree. This was sort of fun in a nostlagic kind of way.

Yes. Hence the word 'REDUX' in the title.

I think you mean you 'disagree.' What ideas don't you like?

I wanted each film to be a separate entity rather than a piece ofa greater whole. I also combined books that not only clicked well together without looking contrived but great adventures that the aiudience can enjoy.

You gotta admit, The Invasion (pivotal) and The Visitor (filler) go great together. So does both underwater adventures The Message (pivotal) and The Mutation (filler). And of course, the two post-apocalyptic future books The Stranger (pivotal) and The Familiar (filler).

Anything else just doesn't make any sense.

I find it hard to believe that you hate everything. Care to explain yourself?

I don't care if you tear me in half by the way. I just want your honest opinion.

Let me decide what matters to me or not.

why would you not have tobias stuck in morph? thats changing a huge plot for no real reason other than you dont like it or something

and then you change the actual events and the ending of the series, completely changing the tone and message of the series, also for no reason

and modern cgi actually would be able to handle an animorphs movie and make it awesome, yea it would be up there as a serious big budget movie, but not undoable and not unjustifiable

It's unnecessary for a film series. Tobias' capture and his dilemma detracts too much from the movies.

Quote

It was the best way to end it. With the books, you had several books to build up to that conclusion. Too much to explain here with the auxiliary animorphs and the Chee and so on and so forth.

There's no need for a big budget at all. It doesn't need 90-100 mil plus to make.

I won't calm down. You lack all common sense.
