I think this is in the right topic. And I don't think there is another topic about this series?
I don't know if many younger WBO members would know this series,
but I hope I'm not the only older member that remembers this series.
Wikipedia:
Created by the European Broadcasting Union between 1992 and 1995 and based on the series of books written by Colin Dann. The first countries to air the series were Germany and the United Kingdom, in January 1993.
"The television series followed the basic plots of the series of books, although certain elements were changed. It followed the animals of Farthing Wood, who were forced to flee their homes after humans started destroying the wood in order to build houses. Led by Fox, and guided by Toad, the animals left Farthing Wood on a journey to White Deer Park, a nature reserve where they would be protected.
Unlike other children's series and films, The Animals of Farthing Wood did not feature much comedic content but rather relied on its strong storyline and plot, and multiple main characters are killed or die during the journey. The series contains mild gore in some episodes, which is one of its controversial points, like the 1978 film Watership Down.
Series 1 chronicled the journey to White Deer Park, Series 2 took place in White Deer Park and chronicled the feud between the Farthing Wood animals and the hostile blue foxes, the third, and final, series chronicled the invasion of the rats into White Deer Park and the animals' attempts to fight them off."
I think that pretty much sums up the animated series. I just can't believe its taken me until 2012 to remember this series, I remember sitting on the sofa at home watching a few episodes, I remember being sad when one of my favorite characters died or was killed, and happy that the others got out okay. However, I have never watched every episode... and their are 3 SEASONS!
So thanks to Youtube I can now watch episode 1 until the last episode of season 3, I don't know about anyone else... But I could put this series up with the 'Bambi' and 'The Lion King' movies, maybe not as good quality as the above movies - but if you watch a few episodes (if you've never watched) I'm sure you'll understand if you do. XD
So has anybody ever watched this series? or am I the only one?
lol
