petition for an animorphs movie written/directed by joss whedon　

yeah, okay, but it either has to be a Harry Potter sized production with a harry potter sized budget and a full 8 movies to get even partially the amount of storylines in the series

or

it has to be a show on some network that is willing to let it have an actual budget and go for more than one season

[personally i think they should put it on HBO or Starz and let the cast grow up a few years [because of the aged fanbase] and just make it straight out violence and actually give it the moral ambiguity the series deserves, but thats not gonna happen and i think everything needs a run on HBO and thats just my little personal fantasy.

fandom-does-animorphs:

Our Animorphs reread starts on Friday! You’re welcome to join us especially if you’ve never read them before, whether or not you’re also a Buffy fan.

A couple of things:

• Read as many or as few as you’d like (I think we’ll stretch this out until the end of August). We’re doing it this way specifically so everyone can read at their most comfortable pace.
• Your first tag for any posts you make that you’d like to be reblogged here should be #fdani, so I can see it and reblog it here. Tag posts are welcome- I’ll just convert them to text on reblog.
• Reactions, meta, anything you want to share is something we want to read! Sometimes the posts that are the most fun are the reaction posts.
• This blog exists solely to reblog all the posts from everyone, so you don’t have to go on a random following spree. Just follow this one, and you’ll get all relevant posts.
• YAY THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME.

I just had a weird dream that some guy stole my body and acted in a porno without my consent.

So this is why all those morals in animorphs were important.

I’ve always had an immense respect for the way Animorphs portrays the actual experience of being a non-human creature. Most books which involve this have the characters be like ‘lulz I’m a bird now gonna fly haha I’m a dog look at me wagging my tail.’ Animorphs actually shows the differences of inhabiting the mind of another species.

Instincts carry over, and not just as comic relief. Sometimes the most terrifying part of a mission isn’t the Yeerks, but the morph. Getting lost in the animal is an incredibly real danger. I’ve never seen another series so thorough when it comes to human-animal transformations.

There are two key examples of this:

Probably the most frightening is the ant morph. There is every chance- in fact it is entirely logical that the ant experience would be exactly as selfless, mechanic, and nightmarish as it was for the Animorphs. The termite thing was similar- both wiped away the very essence of self that makes us human, and the Animorphs barely escaped with their minds intact afterwards.

The other is, of course, Tobias. In book three, when the conflict between his original and new self is first emerging, he reverts completely to his hawk self when it becomes too much. He lives that way for awhile, not even having human thoughts. The human(/Andalite) mind is completely inactive, out in Z-space or wherever the hell it goes. And it’s easy. It’s so, so easy for him to completely become his morph.

The reality that would come with morphing- the fact that animals don’t just have different bodies then we do, but different minds- is so often ignored in literature, and Animorphs allows it to haunt the characters and readers the way an actual transformation would.

The head Animorph, in fact, AX. 

I don’t see any resemblance, do you?

OKAY APRIL YOU WIN

OTHER PEOPLE THINK HE IS AN ANDALITE TOO

Also

I’m impressed that the Ellimist remained an impartial observer for the whole thing.

Discounting the fact that he BROKE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS SEVERAL TIMES so that the Animorphs would have an advantage.

And he gave them several cosmic do-overs.

And he gave Tobias morphing capabilities again.

But otherwise he totally didn’t interfere.
