I have seen the movie but have not read the book(s?). I have also heard of Redwall but never read it and never heard of Fablehaven.

Fablehaven isn't very popular. Guardians of Ga'Hoole is 15 book series (they got lots of stuff in the movie wrong) and Redwall is an awesome 23 book series (not connected, you can read them out of order) written b Brian Jacques. he's an AMAZING writer, better than J.K. Rowling!

I've never heard of Fablehaven but I have read one of the Redwall books. The Guardians of Ga'Hoole movie looked cool but I've never actually been able to see it yet and I've never read the books either. I'd like to read them though ;D

I’ve read 13 of the 15 guardian books, but I haven’t been able to find the 14th (exile) anywhere. Which also means that I can’t read the wolves of the beyond books because there might be spoilers.
I’ve heard of red wall many times before, but haven’t read it and know nothing about it besides that it is a bout anthropomorphic mice.
I recall picking up fable haven in a bookshop once and reading the back, but I didn’t get it because I got another book (which might actually have been guardians of ga’hoole . . .)

To me the movie of guardians seemed full of inconsistency and kind of poorly put together (i seem to recall they tried to have a sort of "yoda owl" but it came across to me as fairly cheesy/poorly developed), although I'm not one to judge a book (series) by the movie. I've seen a redwall tv show XD

Antagonists? Oh you mean the villains. No, the villains were vermin (rats, stoats, ferrets, weasels, and wildcats, ect.) The good characters were mice, hedgehogs, moles, otters, badgers, voles, dormice, ect.

I'm actually currently reading Guardians of Ga'hoole because one of my friends suggested it. It's pretty good, but they have some... interesting choices of words. The movie is only good if you haven't read the books. I opened a Redwall manga once, and saw a chopped up snake. *shivers* Reptiles are not abhorrent to me, in fact, I think they're kinda cute. Just my opinion.

Lol all I remember of Wind in the Willows was that they staged a coup and took over a place called "Toad Hall." I didn't think the movie was that good even though I hadn't read the books. As I said before, full of inconsistencies in my opinion

I haven’t seen the guardians movie, but I looked it up and your right when you say there are a lot of inconsistencies: Soren’s parents aren’t dead, the Pure Ones and the Saint Aggies owls are the same thing, Soren already knows about ezekiel, so on and so forth. At least the effects were cool.
