The creator of the Cartoon Network series <\/span>Over The Garden Wall<\/span><\/i>, Patrick McHale, has been tapped to direct a Netflix<\/strong><\/a> feature film adaptation of the beloved fantasy adventure series <\/span>Redwall<\/span><\/i>. Netflix owns the rights for all 22 books in Brian Jaques\u2019 classic series and will also have a TV series in the works.<\/span><\/p>\n

The name <\/span>Redwall<\/span><\/i> refers to an abbey that serves as the setting for the battles of good and evil between different species of rodents and other anthropomorphic animals over the course of the book series. It is a well-regarded and financially successful series that is often compared to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien<\/a> and C.S. Lewis.<\/span><\/p>\n

McHale\u2019s film adaptation will be based on the first book in the series, which follows a young monk mouse named Matthias as he fights to protect his peaceful community from the evil one-eyed rat, Cluny the Scourge, and his army. The series will follow the adventures of the Redwall Abbey founder, Martin the Warrior, specifically. This is the first adaptation of <\/span>Redwall<\/span><\/i> since the death of author Brian Jaques in 2011 and a 1999 Canadian television series. That show lasted three seasons, each based on a different book in the series.<\/span><\/p>\n
