Looking forward to it, nice to see it's being handled by a childhood reader

Hopefully it actually turns out well. I'd much rather fans create something independently than a corporation fund something, but at least perhaps it will bring more fans to Redwall, which would be nice.

I disagree, everyone has their own headcanon, and from what I've seen I'd much rather have an organized structure with a company that can readily contribute vast resources. Not being handled lightly either, from the concept art and hearing about the writer they are staying relatively true to the tale

Netflix takes rights to 'Redwall' book series, preps both TV & film projects. Netflix has acquired the rights to English author Brian Jacques' Redwall fantasy series for TV and film adaptation, following a deal with publisher Penguin Random House.

Sad to say, but since Fox adapted Voyage of the Dawn Treader my expectations are low. They made the characters far too modern, not recognizable as the ones Lewis wrote, and added a generic "quest for the seven swords".

Then there was Martin the Warrior in cartoon form. While it mostly stuck to the original plot, there was no reason to turn Pallum into a nervous female. Can you say "political correctness"? I knew you could.

I wasn't aware of that, but now that I am, safe to say my expectations have lowered

I feel like it had less to do with 'political correctness' and more with just adding variety - a stuttering and wholly unreliable female character would do little to further any feminist cause

Yes! Redwall!

[Tungro]

That's the spirit!

I don't know how well it would turn out, but I'd watch it.

Looks like they're going to take some time to make this good, which is WAY better than some other series got.

I'm definitely excited to see where it'll go, even if it's not exactly ideal I think it would still be cool
