1 The Reaction

9/21/14

Cassie and Rachel became local heroes when they save a young boy from a crocodile pit at the zoo. But, since the incident, Cassie has been itchy...and morphing involuntarily. Ax says Cassie is having an allergic reaction to the crocodile’s DNA. The more excited and emotional Cassie becomes, the stronger the reaction. The girls are invited to appear on a morning TV show, along with teen heartthrob Jason McCole, but if Cassie’s not careful about controlling her emotions, she’ll end up morphing on national TV!

2 The Stranger

11/12/98

The Animorphs are unsatisfied with their progress in the fight against the Yeerks. Even Rachel, the first to volunteer for every mission, is thinking about moving away to live with her dad for a while. As if in answer to their thoughts, an omniscient alien, the Ellimist, shows the Animorphs the probable future – complete Yeerk domination of the Earth. The Ellimist offers the kids and their families refuge on another planet so they will be safe if Earth is taken over. Will the Animorphs abandon the battle to save the Earth in order to save themselves?

3 The Leader- Part 1

The Animorphs discover a second Kandrona and set out to destroy it, but Jake and Marco are caght with the Yeerk’s new morph-detecting devices and sent into space aboard the Yeerk mother ship. On the ship Jake and Marco uncover some shocking secrets. There is a Yeerk leader more powerful than Visser Three - Visser One. But the biggest secret of all is that Marco’s mom isn’t really dead - worse - she’s Visser One!

4 The Leader- Part 2

Back on earth, Cassie and Rachel destroy the Kandrona. Marco and Jake make a daring escape from the mother ship with the help of Ax and the others. Now that Marco knows about his mom, he has a new reason to fight the Yeerk’s. He won’t stop until he gets his mom back.

5 The Forgotten

11/19/98

The Animorphs have decided to take a break for the weekend, but Rachel and Tobias have made some plans of their own. The plan takes an unexpected turn for the worst as Rachel crashes in hawk morph only to awaken lost in the woods with no memory. She gets herself in some pretty risky situations as she is first captured by a suspicious freed controller and then “rescued” by controllers at a Sharing camp-out. But the rest of the Animorphs finally track her down (with the help of Jake’s super-sniffing abilities in dog morph) before she tells too many people about her strange memories of Yeerks and Andalites. It takes a few days for her memory to fully return, but it finally does and she is happy and proud to know that she is one of the gang.

6 Tobias

9/21/14

Tobais and Ax take a trip down memory lane. With the help of Andalite technology, Ax constructs a “living diary maker” which projects their memories. Tobias revisits some painful human memories so that Ax might learn more about being a human and at the same time, Tobias learns that in his mind and spirit, he’s still the same person, no matter what his physical form is.

7 Not My Problem

1/23/99

The weight of battling the Yeerk invasion is wearing on Jake and after a bad day, he wishes he’d never met Elfangor at all... but be careful what you wish for, it might come true. After a taste of “what if” by the Ellimist, Jake realizes that as hard as the fight is on the Animorphs, the alternative reality is not a viable option, and with the strength and support of his friends, he can continue the fight.

8 The Release

2/20/99

The Animorphs discover that the Yeerks are dying in the heads of many controllers. The controllers have concocted a “flu epidemic” cover-up story but will the truth get out? Jake and Marco take a big risk to try and save Tom, sick with the “flu”, but he is taken by controllers for regeneration in the final hour. The risk pays off when they discover that it is in fact a freed controller, Mr. Perkins, their science teacher, who is trying to save Tom. Unfortunately, his attempt fails, and Jake and Marco must help Mr. Perkins escape Yeerk retaliation. Once again, their risks pay off and they learn that saving the world sometimes means one person at a time.

About this show

A spaceship plummets to Earth in a construction site, and five unsuspecting teens – Jake, Rachel, Marco, Cassie, and Tobias – discover a dying alien, an Andalite prince named Elfangor, who communicates with them in thought-speak. Intrigued, they “listen” as Elfangor warns them that Earth has been invaded by the evil Yeerks, green, slug-like creatures, which enslave their victims one by one by crawling into their ears and taking control of their minds. To empower and protect the young Earthlings, Elfangor gives them a unique Andalite gift – the ability to morph into any animal they touch. Now, the five “Animorphs” must use their newly acquired power to battle the Yeerks and save the galaxy. They must trust no one, and nothing will ever be the same again….

Boy, are the books better than the TV series... <\p> The series is poorly made, and the effects are bad ; even for a '98 series. Seriously hope they release a remake, because this is a great series. <\p> There's a rumor going on that they're making a film adaptation. Hope it gets made.

Really, I don't like the show.😞 😒 😑 The books are WAY better then the show. And besides, the books have all the info, when the show only has bits and pieces of it.😊

This rating is based on the fact that as a 32 year old adult I can still recall watching this at 10 years old in my uncles house after school with my best friend every new episode. I adored the books as a kid and still think they are nostalgic gold. I am glad my kids now read my old books and the fact I can share this with them makes it so much cooler. My kids love learning about things "when I was a kid" which at 32 I really feel like a senior but I also remember my oldest is 8 years old and that perspective, like mine at 10, is a magical and dramatic thing.
