I can personally attest to this fact, as one of my treasured memories is seeing Jacques prove that he had memorized the first page of Redwall by way of a passionate, book-free recitation. While this is the first time the Redwall series will be adapted into a feature, the books have been previously been adapted into an animated series, with three seasons of an animated adaptation of the first three novels, Redwall, Mattimeo, and Martin the Warrior produced by Nelvana, a Canada-based animation studio, and aired from 1999 to 2002.Īccording to the press release from Netflix, which you can read in its entirety below, representative of The Redwall Company (which owns Jacques’ intellectual property) Alan Ingram noted that Jacques would frequently travel the globe to share his stories with young readers. In addition to the feature film, a series based on the character of Martin the Warrior is also in development. As part of the agreement between Random House Children’s UK and Netflix, a feature film is already being developed, with Patrick McHale ( Over the Garden Wall) attached as writer.
