It's so rare that we get NEW Redwall news, and this is the best type possible. I've been waiting for this for over half my life and I cannot wait to see it become real. I hope everyone is ready to share this journey with me.
Received mostly negative reviews.

I have doubts, but I hope this will be a good adaptation. And besides, nothing says it can't be. At the very least, more people will be introduced to the series!
I've been looking back over these past few months, and I've felt off. Felt different. At the time, I wanted nothing more than to go back to the good old days.
But now? Could I just ignore all the ways I've suffered and grown? Caught hold and let go? Could I return from life, having now lived?

All I'm asking for is this...

STAY CLOSE TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL!

(who thinks it will be done in realistic cg?)

At leat one of the writers has worked in on a cartoon, so it could go one way or the other.

Agreed! I really hope it's good because I've wanted one of these for so long! I personally think it won't be that great but I'll love it for what it is...

Oh wow, I just saw this! :o

I hope Netflix give this proper attention along the lines of some of their other big shows.

I also hope they don't stray too far adapting the material (ie Witcher), and give it a generous budget.

Hope they do make the most of modern tech. It's a tough one for style because everyone's got different visual style in mind, but I'd want to see some kind of "realistic" with various modifications for animal posture, clothing, holding weapons etc.
My ears, how are you, wot!

Exciting!! I am pleased the series is finally getting some more attention (well, the recent game helped). Now please don't dumb it down. :D

Darn it, I'd been recently hoping that someday in the future I could turn all 22 Redwall novels into movies, then do the same for The Urthblood Cycle. Netflix has beaten to me punch, at least on the first half. Just like Disney (sorta) beat me to punch of a live-action Lion King.

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

Waking up to this news today was pretty surreal, but the crowning moment has been the overwhelmingly positive response to this news. The amount of old fans of the series that are coming out of the woodwork warms the heart. Personally speaking for myelf and people within my circle who have come back to reading the series this year, I hope that it finally gets the universal limelight it deserves.

A cinematic adaptation of the first book, followed by a series based on Martin the Warrior's cycle is imo the best way to introduce a wider crowd to the material, and then the producers can go from there.

Personally I hope they stay away from realistic CG and take a more creative path with some stylistic traditional animation. There's been a major resurgence this past decade in bringing back trad. styled animation, The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, and Wolfwalkers to name a few. There's a warmth and magic to traditional animation that I think would benefit Redwall far more than the CG route that Netflix has taken with much of its original programming. But I suppose time will tell??

@The Skarzs, please don't put horrid pictures like that up again! What am I even looking at?! I may have to start up my own courthouse and put you on trial for that!

I'm so excited for this!  It sounds like it's finally gonna happen and not just fall through like the other time we thought we were getting a movie.  Cannot WAIT.

Also fell for the rumour mill so many times as a child, to see it actually happening this time around is crazy. This simple announcement has gotten so much traction and trended today, I think if it truly turns out to be something great, will make terrific exposure for the series as a whole.

I only wish Brian was here to see this...
