What Redwall-like books are there

[Rumo the Wolperting]

If you are into graphic novels/comic books, I highly recommend Mouse Guard by David Peterson.  It's been published for a few years now so there's a fair bit of material available, but I only learned about it last summer when I actually met Peterson and his wife at the Phoenix Comic-Con.  Wonderful couple, we talked a bit about Brian Jacques, his passing, and what he meant to us.  Then I bought a full set of his works, each with a personalized doodle and autograph. XD

The art and coloring in them is phenomenal, and while the plots in some are a bit bare-bones, it's definitely worth a read.  Redwall artist Sean Rubin has also contributed to the series as well

Oh, I LOVED Mouse Guard! It was epic, as far as I'm concerned! Thanks for reminding me I need to read it again, Rumo!

I would seriously try Welkins Weasels (The name of the series) it's really intresting and sort of redwall like in a way but more modern.

I moved my post to the front lawn.

^That post probably belongs in the Orchard, which is a sub board in the Front Lawns for advertising personal works, but I guess it could go here to.

[Redwaller]

Mistmantle Chronicles - AWESOME! But my library has only the first three books.

Ga'Hoole - Great

[Vilu Daskar]

The Mistmantle Chronicles by M.I.Mcallester

I think I spelled the last name wrong

[Redwaller]

It's M. I. McAllister.

I know there's a lot of them, but the only ones I've heard of personally are The Guardians of Ga'hoole, Mouseguard & Watership Down- the last one only because every single Redwall book has that page of reviews that always has the one mentioning Watership Down...

[Buzz_Bumble]

The Watership Down movie is also available on DVD, as is the British Tales From Watership Down TV series. Both are animated. Of course the Ga'hoole story was also recently made into a movie and is availbale on DVD (and happens to be playing on New Zealand TV soon).

I posted this list in April in the Whose your favorite author Besides Brian Jacques topic, but it is probably a better fit here ...

These books cover various age groups. Some are similar to Redwall (talking animals using buildings and tools, etc.), while some are like Watership Down (talking animals, but more natural), and some are real nature stories (the animals don't talk, but they're fictional stories). Some of them I only have or read one book from the series, so I don't know how good the series are.

I know there's a lot more I haven't got / read, and of course there's also lots of movies and TV shows, many by Disney and Don Bluth.

I liked the Warriors series, but I was coming directly from reading redwall. And, in my opinion, the Warriors books aren't nearly as well written. They have a great storyline, but I just don't like them as much as Redwall. I couldn't read the Mistmantle Chronicles, I stopped right around the part where

Place I found the book too horrific

That mean kid was talking about how they cull all the weak babies. Anything that has to do with killing something helpless, especially a baby, I find absolutely horrific and immediately stop. I don't care if there's a solution or not, I just can't and won't read it.

Guardians of Gahoole is an amazing series, it's just really really good. Most of the time, when somebody makes a video game off a movie, it's not very good, but I would also reccomend the Wii Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole game. It's surprisingly good, I really love the combat and flight.

[BadgerLordFiredrake]

Rumo ftw

Walter Moers's books on Zamonia are all really good, but somewhat detached from Redwall, not completely alike.

[Lutra]

I forgot about Silverwing from Ken Oppel.  That was an interesting read...I think I read the sequel that followed the first book, but no further.
