Review of Redwall

Redwall (1999–2002)
If you love the book, you'll hate this series.
17 October 2005
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.
