That looks cool, but I don't think it will ever make it off the ground.  I know they have a lot of concept art and voices, but I don't think the fans are organized enough to put everything together.  Still it was fun to click through.

I think if they did a Redwall series the animation should be similar to the Legend of the Guardians movie.

I agree with this 100%! I really liked that movie. The books are even better, everybody should give them a try sometime!

Have you guys heard about the fanmade movie in progress? I guess they're actually planning to pitch it to distributors!

*screams* they're making another movie?!?!?!

Whoohahahahooh!! ~Hon Rosie's awesome laugh!

Ahaha, yeah, interesting stuff, right? I've been watching them a while, they look organized enough. They've set a deadline for the pre-production as six years, though.

I think it might actually happen, but it's going to take a good long while.

I love the idea of making a movie out of a redwall book but the reality is cruel. For all we know, the makers of the film might make Mariel and Dandin in love! Rose would live! Veil would live and be friends with his father! I shudder at the thought of such butchering of my favorite books.

Oh, I dunno, you guys, there's a lot that goes into making a movie, especially one adapted from a book. No book-to-movie film is going to follow the original series perfectly.

That said, I think Salamandastron, Outcast of Redwall, and the Rogue Crew would all make excellent movies!

It would be very exciting if the Redwall series were made into full length movies!

I'd say Salamandastron, but then they might (as many others have stated before me) mess it up. It would be disrespectful to Feragho, Klitch, and the other Weasels in the book.

With that said, I have to say that the best movie theatre is your imagination, with the movie you're watching being what you're reading.

I think they should make it as real as possible, maybe like Narnia. 8)

I won't like there to be a Redwall movie, personally. Brian Jacques himself said he didn't like video games and movies because kids should be reading instead. Would not a movie be going against what he wanted?

First of all, some people can't read. I personally know someone who has trouble with reading. Watching the TV series was the only way he could learn about Redwall. I think that everyone should learn about Redwall. For Redwall is work of art.

Ah, yes, there is this. I recall reading about how BJ turned down a certain extremely popular movie producer for one of his books because he didn't want a movie made out of it.

He didn't seem to have a problem with a TV series, though.

If they did it would never be the same as the pictures in my head when I read the books. Sometimes I read a book and when it mentions the color of someone's hair or something I realize that I have been imaginationing the person different then it describes he/she. I continue reading and usually I don't change the picture in my head to match the description.

I remember hearing about this too. I'm of the opinion that BJ wasn't against having a movie made of any of his books, but rather of having a franchise mutilate the stories he had carefully crafted.

That does make sense.
