The cartoon actually wasn't awful. I sold it pretty quickly after picking it up, but it warn't bad, burr oi.
I read the books all through Middle School and much of High School, loving Martin's adventures particularly. I hadn't actually thought about the books in a long time until my room mate got me High Rhulain for Christmas this year. I may start reading a bit again, but I started to fall out of his books around the time Marlfox came out and only read a couple after that.
Actually, the books did more to instill a sense of morality in me than almost any other influence in my life at that time, including Church. They're pretty powerful good/evil tales, although I've heard a lot of people make some pretty interesting points on the case of racism. I'm torn. The Species of Redwall encompass culture groups, as can be found in that every race speaks some dialect or accent found on the British Isles, but it also seems at times that they represent temperment as much as race. Of course, I could be reading in to that and it really is as clear as "Some races are bad and some races are good and no matter how you fight, you will only ever be what your race dictates you are."
