Interesteg What makes it different from others?

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

moundfreek I give them a 2 only in reference that they tried, even though they throw the wonderful book down the toilet. I watched all 13 episodes of the show supposedly worthy of the title 'Redwall' and haven't seen such horrible justice to a novel since 'The Secret of Nimh.' I think I counted 6 episodes that actually contained something in the book, all the rest were some screw-off to make a profit. I cringe every time someone says 'Wild Ivey' or any of the other trash they threw in. They could have put a lot more book details in, but instead made up a bunch of crap. If you must add, add. If you must eliminate, eliminate. But if you add and eliminate your work will amount to nothing.Summarized, if you are a fan of Mr. Jacques wonderful Redwall Saga, and believe in NOT destroying a literary masterpiece, you're bound to get all riled up upon viewing this terrible adaptation.

brent-65 I have three teenage sons who grew up loving the Redwall series. When we started watching this DVD we knew we were in trouble when in the opening credits the 'written by' was one person's name and that name wasn't Brian Jacques. The producers have taken the characters and places from Redwall and completely re-written the story. Butchered as badly as Ron Dahl butchered Ian Flemings's Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang? Well, almost. After a half hour of watching this Redwall from the parallel bizarro universe, my 15 year old pressed the stop button on the remote and that was that. It was too painful for us to endure. If you love the original story, get Brian Jacques's excellent audio book version and leave this video on the store shelf.

knsevy I was thrilled when I first heard about this projects, since I love the books. After suffering through the three-year wait for it to finally reach the local PBS affiliate, I was completely disappointed in the result.The animation quality, for starters, was pathetic. The characters had no character. It was as bad as any cartoon-based-on-a-toy that disgraces Saturday afternoons on WB. I was hoping for something at least on par with 'Watership Down', which itself could have been much better.Too much of the book was left out, also. There weren't enough scenes in the enemy camp to give the viewer a feel for their motivations. They were just bad guys. And JUST bad guys. They hardly even seemed dangerous. The violence and threat were bowdlerized shamefully. Brian Jacques' books depict death and battle in an exciting way, without being too disturbing for young readers; surely we could have gotten a little more realism for the animated series. The sense of urgency to defeat the bad guys is lost.I didn't like the lack of Jacques' wonderful dialects among the various species, but I can grudgingly understand why it was necessary to homogenize them for spoken lines. The moles and sparrows would have been nearly unintelligible, to audiences who hadn't read the books.The Redwall books are such a wonderful literary series; they deserve better treatment in animation. Maybe we'll see a full-length, full-budget theatre movie, in the future.

ssoren "Redwall" is quickly becoming one of the best animated series on television today. The series consistently well-written and nicely animated. The vocal work is also well done. Very few animated programs have been as involving, mature and intelligent as "Redwall.""Redwall" is more proof that there is some great animated programs coming out of Canada nowadays.
