Do you think "Redwall" would make a good movie?

I think that if done right, it could be fantastic, but i guess that is true with any movie.

I think that the main problem that they would have is making it more adult than the premise makes it look. People who aren't familiar with the book with look at a mouse hero and shake it off as another Narnia, A childrens book trying to be epic. But the book actually isn't that childish and is really a fantastic story.

Your thoughts?

I have never heard of it, would you advise it as a book to read? At what sort of level of reading is it?Samwel_X

It is a really good book if you are a fan of the Lord of the Rings books. It isn't quite as good as them but it isn't really that far behind.

They did make a TV series of it. It was quite good. :PWatch_Me_Xplode

Oh really? I'm in the U.S and he is from the U.K so was that why i didn;t see it? I don't know but i'm gonna see if i can find that online.

Redwall would make a horrible movie. I've read 5 or so books, basically, the same thing happens every book. The young, stalwart hero rises inconspicuously from out of nowhere at the same time that some looming evil happens to set its sites on Redwall. The stalwart hero travels to redwall, meets some of the big wigs there, they have a feast or two (seriously they feast every book). Then the hero hears about the evil. Said hero goes through several life epiphanies with the help of 2-3 friends and in a moment of extreme deus ex machina, defeats the great evil in 1v1 duel. It's been done before.TongHua

I was more talking about the origanal novel. I've read 3 and i can already tell you one that breaks from that a little. Mossflower.

Read that one too, a little different but nothing new.

Great story, but the fact that animals are used to portray the characters will make it seem rather childish to the general public.

I think this should be left simply as a novel...
