Animorphs holy shit!!! Why haven't they made a tv show out of that yet??
I'd watch and fandom the shit out of that.

There was a TV show. It was horrifyingly bad.

I've always thought the nature of the morphing process makes Animorphs (which I, too, loved as a kid) incompatible with a film medium. So much of the tension of the book's plots was tied to the morphing process and how much time it took. It was an extremely important part of the plot that morphing took a couple of minutes to complete, because the characters had to strategize around that. There was that constant negotiation between their need for a particular morph and the time it would take to do it. But you couldn't really have the morphs take more than a few seconds in film, because it would slow the pace right down and eat up a huge amount of the episodes running time. If it was something that was only going to happen a couple of times, they could do some cutting back and forth between things happening in various places, so that you didn't have to be watching the characters morph the whole time. But because morphing was such a staple of almost every action sequence, I think the whole rigmarole of "Okay, they're starting to morph, let's see what's happening elsewhere shall we? And now we're back and they're almost finished morphing" would get repetitive really quickly.

I think you're remembering wrong nonnie. The morphing itself didn't take very long (in fact, remember Cassie almost made an art out of it, which I doubt would look so nice if it took excruciatingly long to complete), what they had to strategize over was the fact that they could only be in an animal morph for a set amount of time (an hour I think), otherwise they would get stuck and become a nothlit (sp?) like Tobias, unable to transform back, if they chose to remain in animal morph, or risk giving their secret away if they changed back while in a dangerous and/or public situation.

It was two hours (not including natural morphs), but otherwise, you're correct.

Nope, definitely not remembering wrong. It took a couple of minutes to morph into or out of a morph. Cassie was the fastest of all of them, and she was the one who was most able to control the morph so that she could bring out certain physical aspects of it sooner than others, but it still wasn't a quick thing.
