Redwall on blu-ray...will it happen some day?
On October 3 1998, Canadian studio Nelvana announced that production was underway for a new 13-episode animated series based on Redwall.
This year, 2009, is the 10th Anniversary of the first broadcast of the Redwall TV Series, first brought to television screens in 1999 by Nelvana.
Personally, I think the greatest way to celebrate would be the release of all three seasons on high-definition blu-ray, however at this time it doesn't seem like this will be a reality. Maybe in the future? We can only hope.
However, there are other ways to celebrate this milestone in the show's history.
Artist Nick Vallinakis, who worked on storyboards for the show, has graciously shared his artwork with the Redwall Wiki.
Below, you can enjoy the artwork of scenes from two episodes of Season 3, "Escape from Marshank" and "The Play's the Thing" in their conceptual pre-production stages.
While we were fortunate enough to see an animated series of Redwall, it would be fantastic to see a movie, if done right, on the big screen. Let's hope an opportunity to Brian Jacques' liking occurs some time in the near future.
The Redwall Wiki will be exploring many more features in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned!
