This is the best of the 4 movies! The 3 episodes are The Capture Parts 1 and 2 and Not My Problem. In the Capture Part 1 The animorphs discover the yeerks are in charge of a health clinic where the governor will receive a treatment and if the Yeerk's plan is successful he will be a human-controller. He is also running for president! Jake falls into the Yeerk Pool and becomes a controller. In the Capture Part 2 Ax figures out that Jake is a human-controller. Jake keeps reassuring the animorphs that he is not and they figure they must lock him up for 3 days to be sure. On the thrid day Jake waits for Rachel (who is guarding him) to fall asleep. He then morphs to dog and escapes the barn undetected (or so he thinks). He leads the animorphs to a new entrance to the Yeerk Pool. He finds out that his friends knew he escaped since Rachel had only been pretending. The Yeerk dies and the Animorphs meet at the mall where Jake calls tom disgusing his voice telling him not to give up. In Not My Problem Jake has had enough between fighting Yeerks and keeping up with his schoolwork. He wishes he never met the Elfangor and the Ellimist grants his wish. Then durind their new lives Tobias (who is the only animorph) tells Rachel about the Yeerk threat. At 1st she thinks he's nuts. Later they all go to a Sharing meeting where Tobias is caught sneeking around. It is then revealed that Jake is a controller. After school Tobias calls Rachel and asks her to meet him at the Spider Club (the place where the Sharing meeting was held). Jake follows her and a lion saves her from Jake. The lion turns out to be Tobias. He and Rachel tie Jake up and then Jake asks him about the "andalite" that attacks him. It turns out that Rachel has been a controller since the previous night and then she tells Jake everything. Tobias tries to escape but Tom, Cassie, Marco, and 2 punks cut off his escape. He is captured and Visser 3 comes in and promotes Jake to Visser 10. Jake tries to infest Tobias but fails when the real Jake fights back. Jake is then in his room back in a world where Tobias is still a hawk, the animorphs exist and none of them are controllers. Was it a dream or real? All in all this is a great movie.

This is my favorite out of the 4 videos. Jake becomes a controller in "The Capture".

Five kids who call themselves Animorphs have the power to CHANGE into any animal they touch. They're the only ones who can keep a bunch of ALEINS from making all of us human-Controllers. But saving the world isn't their only problem. Even the Animorphs have to go to SCHOOL. Plus their friend Ax is from another planet, literally. And let's just say he's having trouble fitting in... when the battle comes too close to HOME, everyone realizes that there's a thin line between friend and enemy. If Jake has crossed the line, will the other Animorphs be able to save him?

The Animorphs are in deep trouble, Jake, their leader has a Yeerk in his head and the Animorphs get stuck in world where the Yeerks stand tall and Tobias is the only Animorph. Amazing! Not K.A.Applegate but real close.

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.

Here is my positive and negitive lists. Positive: Good Acting, Good time passer. Negitive: weak special effects, bad alien voices, toatlly different from the book, visser three looks dumb. All in all this was the best of the four, but they do weird things, like they find ax in the forest and Cassie has long hair in some episodes and short hair in others. I suggest you read the books.

I haven't actually seen any of these videos by the videos, but I have seen them on the Nickelodian chanell. I don't like how they make the Andalites, but they do have good story lines. ALL IN ALL, THE BOOKS ARE MUCH BETTER. YOU could say that the show/movies are a bug, and the Books would squash them by looking at them!

These books are great and the movie made a joke out of them. Visser 3 looks like a blue hair ball and theirs NO ACTION!

This is best of all four movies.Some parts are enjoyable,such as the beginning,but some such as the last,aren't.

This like its predeseres is an insult to the magical books. The books were great this wasn't. Gone is the intense action and fights the book described. Now we get garbage sneaking around. The andalites are very fake and are never showen all at once. No taxxons at all. The hork bajar just stand there. Gone is the witty smart acting of the books replaced by total garbage. Read the books and stay away from this.
