TV show description:
Five children are given the power to morph into any living creature in order to battle a parasitic race of aliens called the Yeerks.
An Andalite named Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul (Diego Matamoros) bestows the powers on brave Jake Berenson (Shawn Ashmore), reckless Rachel (Brooke Nevin), farmgirl Cassie (Nadia-Leigh Nascimento), self-assured Marco (Boris Cabrera), and socially-awkward Tobias (Christopher Ralph). The children can stay in a morphed shape for no more than two hours or they will be trapped in that shape, as Tobias learns.
The kids are joined in the fight by a young Andalite named Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill (Paulo Costanzo), the brother of Elfangor.
Episode #26 — “Changes, Part 3”
Tobias follows the trail of hawk images being left around town and is shocked by what he finds. Meanwhile, Marco notices a suspicious looking construction worker hanging around school. He investigates and discovers that his friends and the rest of their classmates will be in grave danger at the dance. Before he can tell anyone, Marco finds himself trapped.
First aired: April 23, 2000.
What do you think? Do you like the Animorphs TV series? Would you have liked to have seen a third season?
The actors appear to have *all* aged well, which is remarkable – they are still passable to play their parts just as they left off (especially after makeup) – just like Elijah Wood playing Frodo again in The Hobbit even he was then in his 30s vs. being a teenager in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Keep the exact same intro, music – no changes – other than perhaps updated special effects – and since it a concluding season to defeat the Yeerks – stick to just the mission in the script vs. following their “normal” lives as teenagers… Read more »
Here’s an alternate idea if you can’t get the original cast back all together for the final season for live action (which would be preferable): Do it in animation – a style like the Star Wars: Clone Wars series which looks more “real” vs. cartoonish (albeit don’t alter the facial / body shapes of the characters like was done in the Clone Wars – make them look like the true likenesses of the cast) and have the original actors provide the voicing for the characters.
Please Please!!! I want Animorphs back!! It is the best TV show ever!! When I finished episode 26 ( the last one) I was looking every where for the other episodes!! I started crying when I discovered that they cancelled the show I thought it was impossible it is the best TV show ever! After a while I was looking for more movies that I will maybe like but.. It never happened I wanna know what happened at the end I would do anything so that animorphs come back. PLEASE COME BACK!!

Back in the good days when tv had more value and animorphs just stops at such a critical stand-point. the last episode I saw was when I think Jake and Marco go up into space and they find Marco’s mother as a head controller. please finish this it’s too good!
We can all stop pretending that all the old charictars are gonna be teens again, but still. My advice new cast, new technology, start it over from season one. A show like this will last. Please, give it another chance.
They don’t need to be teens for a final season – they’ve all kept themselves in good shape and still look very young so they could pass for their previous characters – they would obviously look older, but they don’t look like “old people” – and after some makeup, etc. even less so. Have you seen The Hobbit? Elijah Wood comes back to play Frodo – he’s in his 30s there, vs. being a teenager in the Lord of the Rings – and he’s playing the character of the same age. You can tell he’s older, but it doesn’t damage… Read more »

Please bring back, Sean Ashmore (because of you i had a huge crush on him!) doesn’t look that old surely?? Still cute.

why did the make only 26 episodes?! I liked the cast they had but if the continued it then they would use different people because the old cast are in their late 20’s.They could do a time skip and bring the old cast back,espeacially Brooke Nevin.
