On this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie head to the Mossflower Woods to witness the divine struggles of war between mice, rats, otters, and other woodland critters in Brian Jacques' Redwall. While hesitant to cover an apparently beloved series like this, we get into the beautiful aesthetic inspired by Gary Chalk's illustration work, how the show adapts the more mature/intense themes of Jacques' original novel series, and why the show was a hard sell back in the late 90s to early 2000s when television animation was going in a different direction entirely. Plus, a lot of the recording was spent on lamenting the lost adaptation by Patrick McHale and ranting against the streaming era's tendency to arbitrarily cancel animated projects...
