If you ask me, you should read the books first, then watch the movies. The other way around kinda spiols it. I like how the movies are visual, I am a visual person after all (kinda). I still think that the books are better than the videos because they have a longer storyline and a really interesting one, not that I am saying that the videos don't, because they do, they are just kinda dilluting it, that's all. Read book #1, then go down to your local video renting store and check out the first video in the series and you'll see what I mean. The videos are pretty good though, beleive me. The books are better, however, if you want a really good book to read, choose the Holy Bible, God's word.

Animorphs. Five normal kids with the power to become any ANIMAL they touch. Jake, Marco, Rachel Cassie, and Tobias are Earth's only HOPE against an alien invasion that's hit their neighborhood. But they're getting tired of saving the world... until a mysterious stranger shows what the FUTURE will look like if they give up. Then, when Jake and Marco are held hostae on the Yeerk space ship, they discover a SECRET that changes EVERYTHING.

I personally think the show is a complete rip-off. It's just a show that the writers, publishers, and executives thought from out of thin air. The show has boring plots off an alien topic with the name "Animorphs" tacked on. Wait a minute, the name Animorphs is the name of my favorite book series. Sorry, but I wanted to illustrate how the show has almost nothing to do with the books. Why doesn't Scholastic have a TV show where the characters are animated yet actually look real (not like the blade ship from the first TV show episode). It sounds crazy, but if it looks good enough (easy with the modern technology available) they could follow the book series without limitations that occur with filming real people as well as follow the script and events better. And finally, make each book a couple of shows long instead of cramming it into one show. That's all I have to say.

This movie is great. The 4th one is the best but this one is right behind it. In the Stranger Rachel is offered by her dad to move 1,000 miles away with him. Then Jake, Rachel, Marco, and Cassie are warned by Tobias that Ax is in trouble. They attempt to save him but are caught in a net. Then the net vanishes. Tobias is in human form much to everyone's suprise. They are greeted by a being called the Ellimist. He offers them a chance to leave Earth with their families including a human Tobias, Tom, and possibly Marco's mom. He shows them what happens in the future after they are caught. Rachel is Visser Three's (now Visser One) best warrior and Tobias was roasted and eaten with barbaque sauce. Rachel takes a knife from her older self. The Animorphs refuse his offer. They are caught in the net. Rachel cuts it with the knife. Marco and Rachel save Ax and Rachel doesn't go with her father. In The leader Part 1 Jake discovers there is a second Kandrona at the EGS tower. They set out to destroy it. JAke and Marco are captured and taken to the Mother Ship where MArco discovers a suprising secret. In Part 2 Jake and Marco steal a Blade SHip and with Ax's help they get back to Earth. Marco now has a new reason to fight the Yeerks.

it was okay but the books are better

Read the books. They are awsome one of the best book series ever made. This show is [is bad]. Morphing is only showed half the time. In the books there are intenes battles and an awsome story. In this show there are no battles just sneaking around. There are no Taxxons. The andalites look like weird mupputs and you never see there whole body at once. Ax and Visser three are always in human morph. The hork bajar look right but they don't move anywhere. They just stand there. Remember the witty and smart dialoge of the books replaced with stupid and unrehersed acting of the show. The charactors don't look like the book charactors at all. Read the books don't watch this [show].

The show is okay, but has no comparison to the book series. The books are more graphic, and funnier. Also, They twist the story around. Like in the reaction. Rachel is the one who has the allergec reaction, not cassie. The actors can't act either. The people who played Jake, Tobias,and Cassie are the only people that I have seen on other T.V. shows.

I haven't seen it yet, but I know it's awesome, because it's ANIMORPHS
