Martin the Warrior is the best!
I like them all but Martin the Warrior is the best
Martin the Warrior and Mattimeo both are actually pretty good tv adaptations of the book when it comes to the storyline and plot. Its a tough choice, but I picked Martin the Warrior.
So did I! The only thing I didn't like about it though was the monkeys.
What monkeys?
Ok.
I say Mattimeo, partly because, like Lutra said, I think it's one of the adaptations closer to the original storyline, and partly because I like the TV Matti just as much as the canon Matti. :D
I liked both the second season and third season.
The wearet looked really weird in Mattimeo, though

Actually I think they looked more like lemurs.
Lemurs are monkeys

They are? I never knew that.
Hey, this post proves that you can learn Zooligy on the Redwall form!
Mattimeo

Correction: they are not. They are primates and are related, but a lemur is not a type of monkey, as lemurs and monkeys belong to seperate groups of the same order. Monkeys are more closely related to apes, baboons etc., while lemurs are more closely related to lorises, tarsiers etc. Sorry, that's just my nerdy side coming out there!
Now, back on topic...
Mattimeo for me. It was the most accurate to the book, the only thing I really found a bit annoying was the Painted Ones. They were nowhere near as threatening as I would have hoped, although it was a kids shows. Not to mention that they definitely looked like lemurs! But there was more about the other two that annoyed me when compared to
Mattimeo. For instance, with
Martin the Warrior there was Pallum, and there was way too much to
Redwall for me to mention! So,
Mattimeo gets my vote, as it was the most accurate.

I know, every time I read that book now my mind gives him a female voice!
That was so annoying! They did the same thing with Keyla too, I think
Sorry about the lemur thing; they are different from monkeys. I found this on Wikipedia comparing lemurs to monkeys. That means lemurs are not the same thing as monkeys
Quote from: WikipediaLemurs have traditionally been regarded as being less intelligent than anthropoid primates, with monkeys and apes often described as having more cunning, guile, and deceptiveness. Many lemur species, such as sifakas and the ring-tailed lemur, have scored lower on tests designed for monkeys while performing as well as monkeys on other tests.
Redwall is hardly the only show where characters have changed genders to balance the group out so they're not all male/female.
Watership Down - original film added a female on the journey, tv series changed Blackberry into a doe
Animals of Farthing Wood - owl, kestrel, weasel, and adder were all male in the book, but female on the tv show

I don't see the point in balancing it out in the t.v show. I mean, if the books had them male, then couldn't they just as easily be male in the shows?
I think Martin the Warrior is the best. The director Raymond Jafelice had done such a good job and kept quite close as possible to the original book.
I really didn't like Season 1. It had hardly anything from the origonal book, and some of the scenes were just silly.
I've only seen Redwall Part-of-season-one, So that's what I voted!

You can see all of the seasons on YouTube. That's were I saw them!

Same! Except for Redwall cause I watched that one from the Library.

Mattimeo for me, mainly thanks to my love of Tim Curry ;D
Also really liked Martin the Warrior too.
Gotta admit, not so crazy about Redwall. They unwisely tried to make it more episodic and even added new events & characters. Which is fairly ironic considering how they streamlined the plots of the next two adaptations.
I really, really wish it had lasted longer. I would've just loved to have seen what they could've done with Mossflower... :(
Mattimeo
Martin the Warrior, although it was very sad. Mattimeo was great as well. :)
Why does everyone say Martin the Warrior. It was really good and I loved it, but I can't choose.
Martin the Warrior! But one question. Why did Rose get IMPALED in the show, when she actually died in a less gruesome way (getting thrown into a wall)?

For effect, of course! :P
I loved them all; but Martin the Warrior jabbed me in the heart. :-\

Me too.
I didn't really like any of them. I'm a purist. Books are best!
I liked them all, but maaaaybe Mattimeo.
Spoiler
Then again, I sorta liked the way they handled Rose's death in Martin the Warrior.
Tim Curry voiced Slagar. Mattimeo.
