Let's discuss all things Animals Of Farthing Wood.
The books and the TV show.
Everything that's awesome and everything that sucked.
I'll start, shall I?
The TV show is by far my favourite cartoon series. Ever. Of all time.
For a start, I love how real it is. Characters actually die from stuff you'd see characters from other cartoons just shake right off like it's nothing.
Bold's death = Saddest scene of any TV cartoon series ever. The Poke'mon scene where Ash's buterfree leaves ain't got nothin' on that.
Coz it's not just the death itself...it's the journey he took...all that effort...just to end up dying practically back where he started.
And Fox doesn't even get to know if his son forgives him!
Just...all my feels, man. ALL MY FEELS!!!

But there's plenty of epic, happy moments too.
Like when Fox leads those two poachers to the warden...and then the warden's all "All right, you two, hands over your heads!"...then all the animals standing there behind them with THAT music score playing and the warden's all "Well, I'll be blown."
Well, couldn't have put it better myself.

Of course I'm aware of how much of the books the TV show left out.
I currently have all the books except for the ones of the animals partaking in their epic journey to White Deer Park.
I would LOVE for there to be a re-boot of the TV series...one that follows the books as closely as possible, leaving absolutely everything they can in.
Though charcter perma-deaths are just so taboo in the cartoon TV series world...I dunno if any experienced animating studio out there would be willing to take the risk...unless...the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender are willing to take it on...they're no strangers to shock and awe, that's for sure. They would be ideal.
