Housepets! : The Pridelands Discussion Topic
Posted: Wed Aug 26, 2009 10:56 pm
Hello all! Welcome to the Prideland topic.
This was a topic i thought of recently after seeing arcs, teasers and generally important information regarding the story within a story that it would be nice to create what would officially be called the "Pridelands" Topic. It's also of course a juicy part of some discussions and debates for some people and would be nice to have a topic to note and discuss since the Pridelands is for the most part fun to nitpick.
A general sypnosis of what Pridelands is in a 'real world' sense: The books themselves have been estimated to have been out for about 3 years based on Grape's information that she read the first book when she was a kitten. The Prideland series is an all-time favourite of the cat community of Babylon Garden; practically rounding up all cats in the neighbourhood, where most dogs shrug it off as 'just another book' (Feh!). The series at the moment has also released it's supposed first movie as well, promptly being titled after one of it's books "Hunters of The Prideland".
The General fame of the series is a reflection of sorts to other big-time popular media franchizes. Mainly Harry Potter, but can also attribute to some other ones such as Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, Dungeons and Dragons, World of Warcraft and Transformers. While it's not been stated yet how popular the series is at the moment merchandise-wise, it's presumed since it hit the big screen that it's not far off from being in other media devices as well.
With that being said, the fun part of talking about Pridelands is not only trying to figure it out, but trying to get more insight as to what the series is about. It can have a bigger impact than most people think, and discussing it can be just about as entertaining!
