So true. Mia and Migel is okay, but, its like pennies to the Redwall show!

The story is that they ran out of funding and support. I also think they might've lost their nerve. Someone blames the management and I thought about how the show was cancelled about the time Nelvena did Cardcaptors and took to making fish-like kiddy anime dubs... 

We're talking about a show where cutes and cuddly--and not so cute and cuddly--animals are violently hurting/maiming/killing each other in a nightmarish (for parents and prudes) cross between Walt Disney and Mel Gibson. (Thanks Heavens the producers made the stories less barbarous and bloody than the books we'd REALLY be in trouble!).

In today's animation industry where cartoon shows are immature, mindless entertainment for children (and some adults) with no standards and/or act as toy commercials--while smarter, deeper animated shows are practically punished for being so--the show would just fail all over again 

As much as I'd like to see another Redwall project, it ain't happening.

Why forget about a Redwall movie?

Because it's just not happening for many of the reasons I stated. And even if it does happen, it'll probably be water downed and/or flop

I wish they could just make a PG-13 movie or something, then it could be more accurate to the book without overprotective parents freaking out.

The Redwall TV series was okay. Couldn't that mean that a movie could be okay too?

IKR? I hate that part in the TV show! I have some friends who... *sigh*... chose not to read the Redwall series because of the TV show. I feel that a Redwall movie or more accurate TV show would've worked earlier on, before Nelvana produced the original show. Unfortunately, there are now too many people who think that Redwall is "cute" or a "kid's book" (for like 3-6 graders and no older). They would be simply shocked at an accurate PG-13 movie, unfortunately

I feelings exactly! And yes, I thought Skalrag being tortured with a feather was just...RISICULOUSE!!!

EXACTLY!

Though I don't necessarily think PG-13 is THE route we need to take. Solid PG could get the job done just as well, if not a little better. To be honest, I actually LIKED how the Show wasn't as violent as the books. Heck, I liked Skalrath's death there. It was so farfetched it was hilarious! XD

A movie or new show could still play for keeps, but not be as needlessly violent as the books tended to be--especially since it got worse as the series went on. (Sometimes I wonder if Brian could've used some counseling...)

[Ungatt Trunn]

Wow, there are so many diffrerent opinions here!

Agreed! Which is one reason I feel slightly embarrassed (and I'm not proud of being embarrassed) when I try to explain the RW series to people. It's a "kid's" book, and since I'm in high school books like that seem to be frowned upon.
Teen books though seem to never be as awesome as good old kids novels.
