The story revolves around five humans, Jake, Marco, Cassie, Rachel, and Tobias, and one alien, Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill (nicknamed Ax), who obtain the ability to transform into any animal they touch. Naming themselves "Animorphs" (a portmanteau of "animal morphers"), they use their ability to battle a secret alien infiltration of Earth by a parasitic race of aliens resembling large slugs, called Yeerks, that take humans as a host by entering and merging with their brain through the ear canal. The Animorphs fight as a guerilla force against the Yeerks, led by Visser Three. The Animorphs carefully protect their identities; the Yeerks assume that they're a strike force sent by the Andalites, the alien race that created the transformation technology. To protect themselves and their families from Yeerk reprisals, the Animorphs keep up the facade. Over the run of the series, the pretense becomes harder to maintain; the Yeerks grow more cautious and dedicate more time and resources to capturing the 'Andalite bandits'.
Though the Animorphs can assume the form of any animal they touch, there are several limitations to the ability: they can only stay in animal form for two hours, or they will be unable to return to human form. Also, the process requires some level of concentration to prevent the animal's natural instincts from overwhelming the human intellect.

As someone that loved the books...how is this show? Terrible, watchable, or pretty good?
KA Applegate herself has said that she hates the show. On its own it's not really that good, but if you loved the books I'd say you'll get some enjoyment out of it.

In a word, dated. You won't recognize any actors, except maybe Ax, the cameras were pretty cheap even back then, and it has the writing of any other mid-afternoon Nickelodeon show from the 90s. But all in all it could be worse.

Seriously? Who wouldn’t recognise Shawn Ashmore ??

That's too bad; it would be cool if they'd made a more adult version of it, since really, these were kids fighting a dark and bloody guerrilla war against an alien invasion.

Jake was in the X-Men flicks.

Pretty awful. It has its moments, like the scene where Jake calls Tom to tell him to not give up being way better in the show, but overall it's just plain shit.

Holy shit. As a fan of the books as a kid, even I thought the first few episodes of the show were pretty terrible and figured it was cancelled. Youre telling me they made 26 episodes? Just wow. Though I likely won't download, thanks for making me aware. Blast from the past.
