So, there have been numerous questionable moments in Redwall. I'm only going to list off a bunch from the original book because I don't have the rest.
- Matthais' treatment of Warbeak involved strangulation, active threats and basically training a fully sentient creature like a dog.
- Cheesethief's rise to power involved strangling Scragg, in detail.
- Chickenhound's utter lack of conscience. He sees the death of his mother as an opportunity and gloats to himself about killing Methuselah.
In general I think Redwall is a mix of magical and mysterious elements that kids enjoy and blood and gore that older people tend to like. That's why Redwall's age range is so confusing.
That would explain why I've never seen a definite age range for Redwall.
I'd imagine something like 6-14
That's one of the largest age ranges I've seen.
Fairly typical pre-teen
Eh, I don't typically look at age-ranges.
"Redwall" was originally written for children. I think the book is just fine for that demographic. You can find all these same "questionable moments" in Looney Tunes.
There is a bit of a difference.
In cartoons like Tom and Jerry, Looney Toons ETC when a character gets gets hit, shot or stabbed, they pop right back up. However in Redwall, many creatures actually die.
Redwall was definitely a bit violent, but I appreciated that, honestly.
I always think back to the time when Boar the Fighter sliced a rat into two half rats...
I was wondering...
Did he slice horizontally, or vertically?

So your argument is "death" means "not-family friendly"? Disney might disagree.

Disney might disagree.
He specifically referred to Loony Toons as that's the original example you used...

I tend to think horizontally

Me and my weirdly cartoony mind wants to think that he sliced vertically...
But yeah, it was probably horizontal...
(Imagine the guts falling out...)

And I was also referring to the original examples in his OP, and he expanded "questionable moments" to include various deaths. As such, I included another example.

I'm more referring to the manner of death.
Many Disney characters are killed off-screen, and the most akin to Redwall from what I've seen is from Bambi which was the only time that I've seen..
