  • that said, I'd sorta like to see the monster atleast,

  • ganeralzeldar, I salute you, an amazing rendition, I liked how they were playing starfox though, kinda funny looking, but very faithful to the book,

  • Tobias is the man.

  • Good news: This intro is awesome.

    Bad news: You've been "working" on it for 5 years now.

  • 2011, and still, no conclusion...

  • uh is there a way to get animorphs back? D: i neva saw the Tvshow i would love to see the REAL Tv show or some thing i cant find anything about it just these kinds of videos its all edidted how eva u spell it btw IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE ANIMORPHS BACK?!

  • i never knew how to pronounce tobias..lol its so weird the way he said it here

  • wow :) LOVE IT!

  • "Forever" lol nice! Please make more!!!

  • i liked it ^_^ hope to see more

  • Nice job. I liked this. the only thing I would like to seeis more morphing. But I understand that budget would be an issue. Keep up the good work. :D

  • The morphing scene was exceptional, the spaceship wa a bit corny.. But I loved the acting

  • I'm making a fan film too

  • dude you have inspired me, now im going to make an animorphs show reboot. i cant wait for the next one of this, i hope i see it soon

  • The cube, alien animation, and morph animation.

  • Wow, this is really good for a fan-made movie! :D You definitely have some talent, man! :) Keep it up, I love it so far!

  • Oh man...The kid in the bathroom scene in the black looks totally like those two disney celebrity twins (whoever their names are...) hahaha but this was soo frickin' awesome! :D

  • This is very impressive for a fan production. My only critique is that you shouldn't narrate everything. Let the viewers watch what is happening. For instance, it was unnecessary to tell the viewers that Tobias was running away when we could just watch it. Also, Visser's arrival needed more of a lead-in...he was just suddenly there, y'know?

    Looking forward to seeing the final product!

  • I just like the fact that you made a decent fan film about Animorphs and made it look cool. I know I just repeated myself lol. And don't let people get you down about dead line times. It's been about less than a half of a year since I released my 3rd ep. So just do it when you guys want to and Ill be looking forward to the next part

  • the green screen's awesome!

    are you gonna finish it????

  • love that tobias is blonde like in the books

  • If you havent filmed the last few scenes, then you can use clips of previous scenes and dub over them. Thats how they made the ending of "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes."

  • lol. this was fun. I think I especially liked Marco. Very well cast

  • Everyone get off my back about this I will finish it before I die I will promise that!

  • @generalzeldar

    You did a great job with this, good luck in your future endeavors!

  • It's already a new decade. Give yourself a deadline for finishing this movie.

  • this vids okay, but i'm one of "those fans".

    I liked Tobias in the book, as he wasn't afraid to get to the ship. It seems like you took the tv's storyline about this, but i did think the andalites were pretty cool lookin.

  • Those were actually really great effects for just doing them on your own. I'm kind of in awe.

    The acting was a bit sketchy at times, but overall this is really sweet. I could just imagine it being on the Sci-Fi Channel or something...

  • Hey GET THIS MOVIE FINISHED!!!!!

    Its pretty good but it is 2009 now and I'm waiting....

  • Are you going to finish this? Because I speak for everyone when I say I'M GETTING TIRED OF WAITING!!

  • I think it's okay, but not fantastic. Most of you, especially the guy who plays Jake, needs to learn how to act.

    But still, for a fan film it's pretty good.

  • Woah, supergeil für ein Fanvideo... und ich find's echt schon fast besser als die Us-Serie *lach* näher an den Büchern auf alle Fälle ;)!

    Woah, what an good Fanvideo... and i think's it's almost better than the US-Show *laugh* it's more conducted on the books ;)!

  • OMG Please make mooooooore!!!!!

  • This was pretty good. Special effects could've been better, for for an amateur film they were still more than I'd expected.

  • touch the side of my cuuube

  • Ugh!!!!!! GIVE US A SIGN THAT YOU'RE STILL DOING THIS!!!!!!

  • Hey, the video arcade scene looks REALLY real but at times it seems like it was an added background like with a green screen or something. Can you explain? Am I just stupid or is it a fake arcade you put up behind your actors? IF SO, you did an amazing job because it's really hard to tell (obviously). Oh, and I'm sharing this video with my fellow Animorphs friends on the Animorphs Myspace Group. ;)

    Expect more comments and ratings and put the other episodes up!!! LOL.

    Peace,

    Brian

  • "So we made Marco go first."

    That was such a brilliant and funny line!

    I really love that you've retold the story instead of word by word from the books as well as Jake continuing the narration. And the graphics were awesome! I'm so happy to have found this! I've been an Animorph fan since middle school and I'm 26 now and I'm still a big fan!!!

    And unlike other comments, I don't mind you adding extra stuff that wasn't in the series as long as you stick with the important stuff!

    Cheers

  • when is the rest of it comin out? its really good.and it dosent miss out any important parts like the series

  • You should show the rest

  • Co to za gówno?! Wygląda jak jakaś parodia nakręcona amatorską kamerą! To profanacja książki. Uh. Nie mogę tego oglądać;/

  • C'mon, jak myślisz grupa nastolatków mogłoby film z serii Animorphs książki? Nawet specjaliści w to w gówno. Pomyśl o ich budżet i materiałów mieli? Na co oni, to jest dobre. To jest nawet dobre tylko na swoje własne. Były one w stanie zrobić bardzo dobrze z tym i trzeba ich sobie nie mógł zrobić to idealnie.

    Man, why is everyone so critical of this? It's a fan film. Not something a bunch of professionals made. I think it's great.

  • .....yeah I know this is the 3rd time I've said this but uh....Are you still doing this? LOL sorry if im getting annoying I just wanna see you at least finish book 1

  • ok

    1. it's better than everything on your channel, so it's safe to say you can't do any better than him

    2. LOL u dumbass, Tobias was the first one to morph. LMAO And you said he didn't read the books?

  • This is way better than the TV show. The morphing isn't right, but given how KA described it... it would be next to impossible to reproduce. And yes, the andalite wasn't perfect, but it was still really good. Better graphics than the TV show XD And WAAAY better acting. I wanna see more!

  • wow, that was really good for a low budget film. it was like "napoleon dynamite meets the animorphs"

  • this is really good u should update more

  • BTW, there was some LOL moments in this.

    "I was scared, but I was also curious...so, I made Marco go first." ^_^

  • You obviously didn't, because Tobias WAS the first one to morph in the books.

  • ok yeah sorry i was wrong. i understand sorry

  • Ha it okay I was in a bad mood anyway. It doesnt really matter to me I used to be a fan but mostly did this to experiment with special effects.

  • @generalzeldar subscribed, hey, it's cool that your doing this

  • Ha wow thats sad for you, your really offended. Sorry is all I have to say? Yeah I read all the books sometimes we change stories a little while filming to make it easier and in budget, if you dont like it please tell me some more. It's for annoying kids like you I dont upload the whole thing. Plus Tobias was the first to openly morph in front of Jake. He doesnt morph turantula, but does cat, go read it. It never confirms that Jake morphs first, because he doesnt go back and read it yourself.

  • exactly, Tobias morphed first, which is a MAJOR plot point later!

  • @generalzeldar sorry for necro, but your both half right.. in the book it is noted that tobias is the first to comment on morphin into his cat when he goes to jakes, and in the TV show its jake who randomly has homer with him... but it also notes that cassie has been morphing all day when she comes out of horse morph. so its a coin flip between Tobs cat morph in the night, and/or when cassie started hers =]

  • Where is the second part, it's so cool, better then the t.v. series.

  • AHHH this is way better then the tv show! I would watch this if it were on tv.

  • This was fantastic and WAY better than the TV show! Keep on doing it, please.

  • Hey man, it looks great keep up the good work!

  • I will be working on an Animorphs movie as well, but there will be some extra side characters and so on and so forth. If anyone wishes to help me with this project, then just message me.

  • sooooo...im guessing you aren't doing this anymore?

  • No I am, Im just really busy, and when I am not busy I am lazy, plus I am waiting to get stuff to edit the rest.

  • OMG. You're morphing was AWESOME! And, despite the age differences and shoe-string budget, this was 1000 times better than the TV show!;-) I can see the exact same scenes and almost the same dialogue, working perfectly in a higher budget film. Plus, you made a great Jake - you've missed your calling! Oh well, you should do an ANIMORPHS "aftermath", with all of the characters (grown-up) talking about post-war stuff at the barn or something (Rachel included!!). LOVED this!

  • that was kewl. i wish u could've continued

  • I don't quite like the Andalite's voice. But Visser Three's voice was GREAT, and I mean that. The camera was a bit shaky when they were running, too.

  • Ha yeah, we redid the voices for the final draft. We edited all in like 2 hours. And the shake was on purpose for the effect, we did a camera wiggle on after effects.

  • dood, that andalite looks ugly... he shouldnt have that ugly nose, he should have a more realistic one, and elfangor doesnt sound like hes asking a question to visser. ps, if you go hollywood, this film can become sweet! ps, wheres pt 2? its been a year.

  • Ha I am way lazy and I am not motivated we edited all that in one night, I will do a better job on the rest. I already re-did this part.

  • I don't really care for blond Tobias, but whatever

  • Tobias was blond in the book. It's the TV series that got in wrong. The only reason Tobias had brown hair on the book cover was because the model dyed his hair from blonde to brown before he posed for the picture.

  • I like the andalites voice;)

  • i dont, and the narrating sux, but it is still good and all. Change Jakes voice and make the andalite sound like he's in pain, then that would own!

  • WOW! Thats really good!! You should become actors, when you are a bit older;) I know it!! You are going to be very famous;) Who made the regie in this Film??

  • Whats a regie?

  • I have some HUGE issues with the Andalites. =/

    Elfangor is missing his ears. And Visser 3 isn't tan. Yeah, I guess he's older, so he should be a tannish-blue, but not outright TAN.

    Other then that and the acting, it's very well made.

  • Sorry, but, Get new actors And show some enthusiasm. Elfangor looks like he's angry. With a little work, this show would be really cool. I'll probably be hooked on it in about three days.

  • Have you gotten anymore editing done?

  • Check his new video, making of Animorphs part 7.

  • I did after I posted this comment but thanks for the help.

  • ....so when's the next one coming out?

  • Ask me in about a week. Then I might have an answere.

  • k...how bout now? lol

  • Man you guys are really high. I'd rather go watch my blankets than watch this episode again, and I'm not saying it to be an ass it's just THE ACTING SUCKED!!! OH MY LORD!!!!

  • Great video. All the actors really looked the part and did a really good job of acting as well. I know it's usually difficult to find a group of people that are willing to work together and it looks like you did a really good job on that.:)

    When do you think the next installment will be ready?

  • Well whenever I feel like editing it I suppose? I have just been way busy:(

  • O.O *is speechless* SO STINKING MUCH BETTER THAN THE TV SHOW! *tackle-hugs Generalzeldar* I'm like your #1 fan now! :D You have got amazing potential and I hope one day to see a movie on the big screen with your name on it.

    And you picked awesome people for the characters. They look and act so much more like they do in the book in this than the tv show. I'm just amazed how good this is..... Just... wow. O.O

  • ha ha thanks, most of the "youtubers" know me as Adam. And this was an experiment movie to see what sorts of special effects I can do. I'll try to post some good ones soon.

  • very good, much better then the 'real' show

  • Fantastic film!

    Not nitch-picking or anything, but if you want to get rid of the "pfft" sounds in the dialogue, get a coat-hanger and place panty-hose over it then speak through it.

    Its called a 'pop-filter' and helps to make the sound clearer. Hopefully you know what I mean, if not, just ask.

    Other than that, keep up the brilliant work!!!

  • Sorry I don't quite understand, but I would like to know. Does it mean you just stetch out fabric between your mout and the mic?

  • Great vid! I can see you put lots of effort into it.

    A few things you might like to think about though: Try not to narate too much. It feels like the story is being told to us, not shown. And there were some lighting/framing issues in some shots, like when Tobias was against the lit window.

    The visuals for when he morphs into Dude were really good though :D Also don't be afraid to deviate from the book's script. When you adapt, you have some creative license to change how things are said

  • This is really good! Can't wait to see more!

  • i love how elphangor (however u spell his name) always raises his 'eyebrows' XD this is awesome (i would never be able to do this good haha) :D

  • lol, yeah, I didnt intend for that to be used more than once. but I gave him so little animation that he kinda had no choice. I think I redid that shot so he doesn't do it anymore. or at least its more toned down now so its not as distracting.

  • damn this is a good home made video. Nice job

  • Thanks. We should have more uploaded in this next month.

  • i'm a fan of the books and the tv series. hope to see more of this movie. are you still working on it?

  • Yes. We are just waiting for an animation from a guy that was kind enough to help us out. I don't him personally though his username on youtube is gmcubed.

  • Where did you guys film this? It looks like Arizona or New Mexico. I've lived in both and currently still do. LOL

  • We actually filmed it in Salt Lake City Utah. Some of my movies were filmed in Idaho and Arizona though.

  • How come?

  • Did you plan for Marco's shoe to come off?

  • Ha ha thanks. I am actually editing right now. The first time since October.

  • Oh my gosh, this is really cool. For a fan of the TV series and then a reader of the books, what you've done is amazing. I don't know how everybody here could be so critical of someone who did a really good job with no money. They act as if you have a million dollars. I really like all of you guys as actors. You're really good.

  • "the next morning, i woke up."

    bahahahahahahhaahha.

    props.

  • You spelled that wrong you noob.

  • Taht is noob video!

  • I dont know how many episodes you're planning to make, but to make this consistent with the books you have to have Elfangor call Tobias by his name. (I dont want to spoil it for anyone, but if you've read The Andalite Chronicles you'll know why.)

  • actually it says it in #23

  • Ha yeah I read them. Don't worry go ahead and spoil it. I don't plan on making much more I just kind of was into it at the moment though I must say I had already made about 5 more 10 min segments that are all half way edited and that have not been posted yet so at least I got that far.

  • oh,and Tobias doesn't have a Tarantula morph

  • No, ha and they made me keep my obnoxious yell in there.

  • good but 3 things, #1 I think its pronounced more like Tobeeus, but I never saw the shows so I may be wrong, But I have Read all the books (and yes I know how its spelled)#2,Cassie's hair is supposed to be curly and Rachel should be taller, but I can imagine hod difficult it would be to find matching actors, but Cassie's hair could definitely be fixed.other than some script and appearance problems, Awesome job and I can't wait to see how this turns out. :) lol my fingers hurt now

  • This is a reply to TinShadowCat

    No, Tobias is pronounced Toe-bie-us not toe-bee-us you noob

  • "We booked it. We booked it for our lives." LMAO. I was getting into it until you said that.

  • Very true to the source.

  • Somewhat. My biggest problem with the entire thing was the running from the ship. They didn't, in the books. and Tobias was far from reluctant or frightened, and even if they had managed to run, Tobias wouldn't have been the first to break for it.

  • Great vid, just one question. Have you just read the book and/or even saw the actaul show from the 90's? Either way, awesome vid.

  • Both. I used to be into animorphs when I was younger.

  • Our lives wouldnt be the same 4ever?

  • yea doesnt quite make sense

  • well done ^^ can't wait to see the rest

  • Best of luck to you all! :)

  • I wonder if they will ever make a live action movie *sigh*

    Has anyone heard anything ?

  • Hy, if it is a fan film it should not be even on this site. It's just making fun of Animorphs. Besides Rachel isn't even that big. Cassie does not look like Cassie. You should put a dunce hat on.

  • off that's my brothers friends

  • Thanks for the comment. And who are you? Should I even consider what ever you say? Maybe you should find some friends, get a life and go hang out with them. Let's see how long you can keep them. Probably not long. That's alright because your COOL! Yeah wow coolcritic04. Hey everyone let's read what coolcritic04 had to say about Animorphs. Well I better stop myself before I say somthing as pathetic as you said.

  • Who are you Simon Cowell? Nah your a nobody. And I feel dumb wasting my time flaming a spaz like you.

  • sorry you feel that way. But i dont think im a spaz.

  • I am joking. I was in a goog mood. And my pals wanted me to flame you. I really don't like replying to comments, but my friends pointed you out so I did what I had to. I haven't even filmed since september last year.

  • Can someone not take a little criticism? Spaz..... Your vid is boring.

  • Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . . . ha ha ha ha ha.

  • it was great i saw all your animorphs videos. but you do need 1 or 2 more changes.

  • At the end, change the way you say "forever"

  • Nah, it was hilarious.

  • Well it's not that bad. Actually you made a really good job. The choice for Marco was really fitting. But Rachel should've been much taller. Yeah but it's good for a fan-film. The acting is quite as good as the real tv series :p

  • What's her being taller have to do with it. It's not like the actress can just have a sudden growth spurt at will.

  • Well they could have chosen a taller actress from the beginning. What's all this fuss about? I said it was really good

  • Thank you. Listen to the man. Plus we did it all in like one day.

  • Why is Tobias made out to be such a chicken? Also, they were supposed to stay and watch Elfangor die. It doesn't really make sense that Jake would know that he died if they ran home before it happened. That's all I'm saying.

  • Didn't you read the books? Tobias WAS a chicken in the 1st book. He was shy and not very confident. It wasn't until later, after he got trapped in a halk's body, that he became confident and grew a set of balls.

  • I know how he behaved in the books, but he was the first one to the ship. He hides here, that's what didn't sit right with me.

  • Fantasmic! Great job, keep it up, and I'm gonna subscribe. If you post any more videos anywhere else but on Youtube, please PM me!

  • seems alright

    something that bothered me (and I know another guy did animations for this) was that the Andalites are supposed to have three horizontal slits instead of a mouth, not a vagina-snout! The other problem, in my opinion, is the youngness of Elfangor's voice. Besides that, this is pretty good. I want to see the whole thing, and hopefully it came out well!

  • Maybe it's because the people making this are kids.

  • i loved how elfangor's eyebrows kept raising. it was hilarious. and the cube thing with the hand. "TOUCH THE SIDE OF THIS CUBE LOL"

    but i don't think that part should be hilarious. D:

  • Lol, that's true.

    "touch the side of this cube"

    "no!"

    "touch the side of this cube"

    "..."

    "touch the side of this cube"

  • Good, but take out the part. 'the next morning i woke up'

  • hey generalzelder your fan film rocks get the rest of it already im making a fan film of animorphs right now but i use magic morph not after affects (to answer me post a comment with the answer on my movie, to see it go to my channel skatertobes)

  • Nice job making Tobias blonde, and a geek. I wonder why the tv series didn't pick up on that.

  • This is better than the tv show, but neither this or the show are nearly as good as the books. sorry, but no.

  • Thats alright I agree, plus we edited this all in 3 hours and shot it in like 2 days.

  • why not use Zbrush?????!

  • What is it?

  • Are you going to put the next part out or did you not even make it?

  • When I get time to edit it I will.

  • haha this was hilarious! you changed tobias' personality a bit too much. Rachel was too short and Cassie too tall (so maybe get Rachel some 10 inch heels ;) ), but I'm just really impressed you got this together! Was cracking up when those guys in the arcade were walking around in circles. After Tobias' morph I'm guessing you guys aren't using morphing suits, huh? keep up the good work!

  • its good but the animation (andelite,andelite ship,visser 3, blade ship) needs some work. It doesnt really look right.

  • when does the next part come out

  • ? soon

  • I don't want to hate on this....but it makes the original Nick series seem Oscar worthy.

  • ha maybe if the freaking nick series had the same budget as us you wouldn't be commenting.

  • The Nick series wasted their budget on crap. It had so much potential.

  • lol funny, good job mate

  • this sucks. it sounds like ur making of the series. they are all talking doapy and its fake

  • OMG I need to freakin see part 2. I WANNA SEE HOW UR GONNA PULL OF THE YEERK POOL SCENE!!!!!!!!!!! But take your time on it, I want it to look better than anything I can do(SO basically u have to make it better than nothing LOL)

  • Good effort. :) *****

  • is that red andalite visser three?

  • Yes, it gives him an independent look,and a menacing feel, we in turn makes it easy for the viewers to ditinguish from the other andalites, it's sort of like his trade mark.

  • Question: what model camera did you use to film this? The quality came out rather well for a camcorder, and I'd like to get into film myself.

    For being an amateur version, this is really decent. It's been almost 6 months since this was posted....I'm guessing it's safe to assume we won't be seeing a part 2?

  • The Camra was a panasonic, Mini DV camcorder, . . . I believe the model has been discontinued? Any way it is broken now so I can't film until I come up with another camera.

    And yes there is a part to we allready got done filming it, I just need to edit it. Anyway I was concentrating on playing b-ball for my high school team and getting good grades, I don't know when I will get aroung to posting it?

  • um I dont mean to be a cridict but why did you use that music in the beggining, Its really corney

  • Because we wrote it and it is not copywrited by any other studios

  • its pretty good film wise

    but the narration needs more emotion, it seems way too robotic
