Animorphs and Goosebumps tend to be brought up here all the time, but I never see anyone talk about Redwall. Was obsessed with the books and cartoon growing up.

Speaking of the cartoon, it's theme song was a bop:

Netflix has the rights to the series now, but I haven't heard much about what they're doing with it.

I have never figured out what the fuck kind of drink a cordial is but it sounds delicious.

I swear, Brian Jacques made what's essentially vegetarian slop sound so delicious. I begged my mom to make us Hotroot soup as a kid even though I had no idea what it was.

I think cordial is supposed to be like the punch your grandma would have in a bowl at a housewarming party, but I could be wrong.

There were three actually. All made by the same studio. Redwall, Martin the Warrior, and Mattimeo (AKA the best one).

Redwall is older and broader, while animorphs and goosebumps were specifically for 90s kids.

Loved reading Redwall series in middle school. Marlfox was the original game of thrones

Found the first book Redwall in Barnes and noble and decided to reread it for nostalgia's sake

It says there are 22 books. I might read these after I finish what Im reading now. Idk if the quality of the books held up over the years, but I remember the ones from the 80s and early 90s were awesome.

I was just looking at some on Amazon. Not a big fan of the new cover arts, but might pick up the first few and see how they hold up.

Wasn't there a species which was depicted as invariably evil? I think that might be the reason they don't talk about that series anymore.

It's more likely they don't talk about it anymore because the author died.

Most of the vermin species were "evil", but it was often because they were marginalized and some would actually join with the mice, moles etc.

Also fun fact about the TV show, it ran on PBS in the States. While the Redwall and Mattimeo seasons would do re runs, they only ran Martin the Warrior once because the PBS brass considered it too violent. Shit was hardcore back in the day lol.

PoL also had the most video-gamey plot, what with collecting the titular McGufins and all

Also a weird starting point to be fair to him. Skips straight to the fourth generation descendant, although to be fair finding out what order to read the series in wasn't easy before the internet became more widespread.

Good to hear. My favorite growing up was Mattimeo by far (Hands down the best villain) but I remember liking Redwall and Mossflower as well.

Better than Cluny the Scourge??? Might have to check the sequels out, then.

Slagar the Cruel. Dude was basically a wizard, and he has the best design of the bad guys IMO.

Not to mention Mattimeo also has a ridiculously good side villain in General Ironbeak.

They have the first five books as a box set on Amazon. Getting reprints because of the Nextflix movie and series in the works.

The Taggerung was the most recent one out when I lost track of the series. 8 more drops after that, damn Brian Jacques was a machine of a Fantasy writer. George RR Martin and Patrick Rothfuss should take notes.

Triss was the last one I recall distinctly. I know one of the last was The Sable Quean, but haven't read it yet.

I think a recipe book was published at some point. Dandelion soup and everything else they eat is edible by humans.

I think cordial is fermented fruit juice (basically wine). Ah, its answeetened distilled spirit or a liqueur.

Yeah I saw it when I was browsing Amazon. The reviews say it's very vegetarian based with a lot of cheese, which sounds about right lmao.

I still have most of mine packed away in a box somewhere, though I haven't actually read one for very long time. I remember really liking Mossflower at the time. The Long Patrol comes to mind too due to the hares being some of my favorite characters throughout the series.
