Hopefully, the Animorphs movie that does get made will do a better job of satisfying fans than it did the series authors.
The implication is clear, that Applegate and Grant were left unsatisfied with the direction in which the movie adaptation of Animorphs is going, and thus decided to exit the project.
The series was praised for its surprisingly gritty approach to the concept of teens with special powers saving the day.
Animorphs enjoyed enormous popularity in the ’90s, regularly competing with the Goosebumps series on bestseller lists.
