A movie picture book?
Redwall is always open, its tables laden, to you and any of good heart.

It's one of those things where they could either do really good or really bad on the movie

I really hope that if they make a movie they'll make it as epic as the book, and not water down the action for kids like in the TV series.
Defend the weak, protect both young and old, never desert your friends. Give justice to all, be fearless in battle and always ready to defend the right.

true
Trying to stop me reading Redwall is like trying to separate Sabretache from his sabre.  Basically, don't try.

Forgive me, I'm still lost. :( Is it like those old Golden Books cartoons, where the screen is just panning across a single picture while somebody reads a book?

I agree with the ones who feel that Animal Logic would be the ideal company to design Redwall.  Their recent work with LOTG was amazingly realistic for animation.  What I think they need to be careful is NOT do what happened to LOTG--one too many changes from the books because the Redwall fans won't put up with that!  ;)  A ton of blood goes too far, no matter how partial I am to Watership Down as well...that does turn people away, so keep the blood at a minimum, but don't cut back on violence and I'd say they have a happy medium that will please most film goers.

IMO the best novel to invite new Redwall fans would be Mossflower, Redwall or Martin the Warrior, I also think these would make the best movies.
Received mostly negative reviews.

I think a Redwall movie would be great if it was done in the spirit of the old TV show.

I agree Martins#1fan!!  I think it would be cool if they did it they way they did "Christmas Carole" With Jim Carrey where they film it live action and then animate it!  So that way it would be really life like.
Now if they got someone from his family to help, maybe even write the script it might come out ok.
If they make a movie and keep in all the gory parts (yes we all know there are gory parts) what do you think it would be rated?
That would probably be the best way to go, it would look AWESOME!!
Or they could computer-ize it, like Narnia..... But animating it would look SOOOOOO much better.

if ur talking about it being animated like the TV series, i'd go no.  the tv series was good, but too....endearing...i liked narnia and i think guardians at least looked good, so i'm for full out cgi animation

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.

YOU MUST NOT DISRESPECT THE WEASELS OR THEY WILL HAVE THEIR REVENGE ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
Brilliant. xD

And yes, very nice point.
