here in the States, we had the cartoon on PBS, (public broadcasting network) but they had them for the books Redwall, and Mattimeo. My favorite is Lord Brocktree, I always like stories about Salamandastron.

If anyone is interested the official site is www.redwall.org

[Bonos-Girl]

legolastheawesome already said that..but thanks anyways!

[Tyrien Sedai]

Oh, I love those! I've read all but Legend of Luke, Lord Brocktree, and the new one. I saw a little bit of the show, but stinking PBS kept changing the time they were on, so, I never saw many onf them.:( I wanted to tape them, but I eventually gave up. They weren't bad either. (of course, they were for kids, but so what!)

[legolastheawesome]

everyone needs a cartoon now and then! lol definately read the new ones, especially Taggerung. That one rocked. :thumbs:

I've read most of the Redwall series. Very cute, but exciting too. I've some friends who are nuts about the series!

My favorites are: Redwall, Legend of Luke, Mattimeo, and Mossflower. Later ones are more serious. I'm recently tired of them because the stories are always about the same: A bad leader and his gang wants to conquer Redwall Abbey, a warrior of Redwall saves the place. The most recent one that came out is Triss.

Yeah, that's why they are good only to read once...I usually don't like sea captain bad guys...pfbbt

My mate was reading one on the train and before we knew what had happened she was bawling her eyes out! mecry Turns out like....Rose....maybe....died, so she got all upset! :cuddles:

[legolastheawesome]

I HATED it when Rose died! I was so upset, Martin didn't deserve that at all. I was half hoping that she was suddenly not dead, just all the wind was knocked out of her....mecry unfortunately...

Redwall,
Great books by Brian Jacques.(jakes)
I have wonderful storys about these books.
I'll tell you one if you ask!:grin:

[Mirkgirl]

Well I'll merge this with the existing Redwall thread... hope you don't mind

[*Arwen*Evenstar*]

Yes you can join And Welcome!

[Gwaihir]

I've read most of the series, but Redwall is probably the best. Most of the recent ones like "Outcast of Redwall", "Legend of Luke", "Salamandastron", and others are getting dull because Brian Jaques probably can't come up with any more ideas. It's always about RedWall Abbey being attacked by a vermin leading a multitude of evil rats, ferrets, weasels, and such.

[Luthien Tinuviel]

I've read all the Redwall books, so far, and I love them all. I have never tired of the "conquer the Redwall Abbey" storyline, I love it. The 2 newest ones, Taggerung and Triss, are not about that at all, though. They're really good, but I liked the older ones better, personally. I think my favorite was the Legend of Luke, or Martin the Warrior, it's hard to pick. Also, they're all kind of jumbled in my mind. I remember few specifics, but I do know they are great books! Has anyone read his one non-Redwall book Castaways of the Flying Dutchman? It's really good, I think it took me 4 days to read. If you haven't read it, or the Redwall books, you definately should.

[legolastheawesome]

I need to read Triss!!!

[Evenstar]

It's not as good as some of his books, but it's loads better than others.

[*Arwen*Evenstar*]

I got to meet BJ!
Love the moles!

[*Arwen*Evenstar*]

I started this thread!
What happened?

[*Arwen*Evenstar*]

Has anyone seen the RW movie or TV shows?
ITs sooooo coool!

[Evenstar]

There's a movie? :o
And no, I haven't seen the TV shows.

[*Arwen*Evenstar*]

on PBS in the us the TV show shows&
once they made a movie based of theRW episodes
You can buy it at
www.redwall.org

[legolastheawesome]

I have seen the TV shows....Very well put together....and i wished that they would have made more, for the other books.

[*Arwen*Evenstar*]

they are working on more shows
now they have:
RW
Mattimeo
Martin the warrior
the next book Loamhege
comes out on the26 of sept

[Luthien Tinuviel]

There's a new one?! I didn't know that! I have to get my hands on that, I bet it'll be tough though. There's another book I need to read, and to think I've been complaining about not having a book for a few days, I really need to get to a bookstore....

[*Arwen*Evenstar*]

Go to
www.redwall.org
for the latest info

[Evenstar]

Loamhedge doesn't come out in the UK till 2004 - this is Brian Jacques' home country so you would think it would come out here first :(

[Luthien Tinuviel]

I was at Barnes & Noble the other day buying Wheel of Time books, and the Redwall books are like a shelf above them, so I naturally looked for Loamhedge. Well, I found it, and concidered buying it, but decided to just wait until I can get it in paperback. The funny thing was that one of the dust covers was printed upsidedown/backwards, so on the front was Jacques' picture, upsidedown, with "Loamhedge" dented (there's a word for that, what is it?) into it. I laughed. lol

[*Arwen*Evenstar*]

Thats soooooooo funny!!!!! lol
I requested it from our library & it has not come in yet!
after me there are 4 holds! good thing they ordered 10 copies!

Evenstar- you can order Loamheage at
www.redwall.org
All books orderd from there are autographed by BJ!
Yes i've read Castaways&the angels command!
both very cool

[Luthien Tinuviel]

I haven't read the Angel's Command yet, I hadn't even heard of it until I saw it at Barnes & Noble (then I forgot about it until just now). It looks good, if it's anything like Castaways it will be, I'll have to read it...soon, that and Loamhedge.

[*Arwen*Evenstar*]

Oh yes very good Ill be getting LomH. This week!

[legolastheawesome]

Finished Triss. That book was amazing! I loved it.

[*Arwen*Evenstar*]

Great!
I just started Loamheage!

[Striderfan]

I feel so bad because I used to pride myself on having read every single Redwall book, but then I sorta got all entangled in highschool and I haven't read Triss or Loamhenge ..:( but I do remember them as awesome books ;)....my fav was Mossflower, I just loved Martin and his almost-death and especially the songs they sang on thier way to Salamandastron (*starts to sing out of tune* "Salamandastron, here we come, a thief, a warrior, a mole, and though our quest may take its toll, we'll march until we reach our goal!!!" ;) lol ) It's kinda cool how you get so wrapped up in the characters and everything is so serious and then you step back and realize that its all about little fieldmice and badgers and little creatures....but I love them :grin:

[legolastheawesome]

I was browsing thru the bookstore and saw Loamhedge and sighed...How did he shoot these books out so fast! I need to wait for my library to have it. Belive it or not, I actually started the series With the Pearls of Lutra, the 9th book. The good thing about Redwall is , you can start at any point in the series, and still understand the story.

[Rhianon]

:thumbs: I absolutely love these books.Have you ever seen the animated version of some of the books. They aired on PBS a couple of years ago.

[Bregalad]

I've read some Redwall (redwall, mattimeo and martin the warrior), but am not a great fan... It has a lot to do with the books being quite formulaic. I've also seen the cartoon version of Redwall... it's not bad for a cartoon :)

[King Elessar]

I have all of them except Mossflower, Marlfox and Loamhedge.
they are great and the cartoon is O.K.
