Redwall is the first of three animated seasons (the other two being Mattimeo and Martin the Warrior) taken from the extraordinary twenty-two book series by Brian Jacques. I first saw this series when I was about 7 years old, and being a huge fan of the books I looked forward to seeing the animated version. It did not disappoint! The series is a faithful rendition of the book, and although it can be a bit fast-paced at times, does convey the important points of the story very well. The animation is good overall, and the voice acting excellent, especially Diego Matamoros as Cluny the Scourge. The music is also quite memorable, so much so that whenever I read one of the books from the series the opening theme of Redwall is stuck in my head.Overall I really enjoyed this series, and encourage anyone to watch it along with Mattimeo and Martin the Warrior! :)On a quick side note I'd also like to point out that there is a movie version of Redwall, but it's simply the 13 episode series edited to fit into 1 hour and 30 min. While not bad, if one is looking to see the animated series in it's entirety they'd be better off watching the TV show.

As an older fan I think I speak for many people my age (20 years old) when I say that this show focuses more on the entertainment of younger children and therefore left the rest of us older viewers feel as though we were forgotten. Although the animation was clean and well done and the music did have that mid evil/epic aspect to it, the re-written story lacked maturity. I think it is safe to say that even though the book series is geared toward young adults, a child's cartoon only hinders the epic potential that this story contains. If someone where to try and bring the series to the big screen, I would recommend using the TV series as a reference, but not a template because it did do some things right.If you are a fan of the books, you are kind of taking a gamble with the TV series; either you'll like it or you'll hate it.

I am a literary woman. I love films (animated or live-action), theatrical shorts and TV series that are based on books. I was shocked, surprised and flabbergasted by the negativity I heard on the Internet. I've watched this show and frankly I find it awesome! and just to let know, watching this series is what got to read the "Redwall" series.I love the original characters they've put on the show: Wild Ivy the spunky, gypsy knife-thrower from a circus and Farlo and his wife Glendel the two dormice who sell spices; her name almost sounds like 'Gwendel' to me. The series also has an excellent musical score and a top-notch voice casting including : · Tyrone Savage...Matthias The Warrior, · Alison Pill...Cornflower, · Chris Wiggins...Abbot Mortimer, · Richard Binsley...Basil Stag Hare, · Janet Wright...Constance the Badger, · Susan Roman...Jess the Squirrel, · Wayne Robson...Brother Methuselah, · Graham Haley...Foremole, · Tracey Moore...Warbeak, · Diego Matamoros...Cluny The Scourge, · François Klanfer...Shadow, · Julie Lemieux...Sela The Vixen, · Jonathan Wilson...Chickenhound (her son), · Richard Denison...Captain Snow, · David Hemblen...Asmodeus, and... · Ben Campbell ...Voice of Martin the Warrior and King Bull Sparra.

I've seen "Redwall" and "Mattimeo" and was very impressed by the drawing, voices, and looks of the characters. But nothing could have prepared me for this season. "Martin the Warrior", a great book written by British author Brian Jacques, had me hooked from the opening scene. I couldn't believe how great the characters looked and how closely the show stayed true to the book. The voices were outstanding and I couldn't stand seeing an episode end. The show is about a young mouse named Martin who is in slavery with many other creatures under Lord Badrang at Marshank. Martin is able to escape with Felldoh the squirrel and Brome, a mouse like Martin. When out of Marshank they meet up with Grumm the mole, and Rose of Noonvale, Brome's big sister. Martin, Rose, and Grumm are separated from Felldoh and Brome on the open sea and make their way to Noonvale, which is Rose's and Brome's home. Felldoh and Brome meet up with a group of traveling actors and actresses and gain their aid in attacking Marshank and killing Badrang. Meanwhile, Martin, Rose, and Grumm collect an army at Noonvale and head off to Marshank. During the final battle between Noonvale and the actors on one side and Marshank on the other, Martin kills Badrang and regains his father's sword which Badrang took from him when he was young. However, though they were triumphant, Martin is lost in unspeakable sadness when he finds out that Rose, who Martin had been in love with, was killed by Badrang. Martin buries Rose in Noonvale in the final episode which made me, and many of my friends who saw it cry. Seriously, we did, that was a really sad episode. Martin heads south swearing never to speak about Rose and Noonvale again since he couldn't stand thinking about his lost lover. "Martin the Warrior" is a great show which you can still watch on TV. Check your local listings. You can also get "Redwall" and "Mattimeo" on DVD..."Martin the Warrior" has not been released for DVD yet...but soon! I highly, highly, highly recommend this book and show.
