Animation Source Forums

Have any of you read the book, seen the movies or series? I read the book and saw the movies till the animals reach White Deer Park, I saw some series on German Tv after White Deer Park too, which was a long time ago. I really like them, they were realistic in happenings, animals died in accidents, etc. Also the animation was like in Balto 1, real-looking and 2D. What's your opinion on this story/movie?

I really like the animals of farthing wood, ive read all the books and seen all the series ive also got some figures of the characters from years ago when the series was popular

I used to watch this show!! At least I think I did lol. Did it have two foxes and they were sort of leader-figures?

Am I meant to bump old topics here instead of making new ones?

Anyway.

I love the animals of Farthing wood.

I've got the three series (series two is the best) and all the novels except for the adventure begins. Still trying to get that one (the softcover X) )

My favourites are Ranger, Whisper, Bold, Scarface, Ladyblue. I like all of the foxes, but some alot more than others though. Fox and Vixen are better in series 1 but I do like fox's new turn in series 2.

I liked Scarface the blue fox.

It's been quite a while since I've seen the Farthing Wood T.V. series.

I read the first book, and only saw Episode One and the episode where Bold meets Whisper and then dies.

But that's about it. I haven't watched that series ever since I left Australia.

The edited versions of Series 1 and 2 are up on YouTube now =)

The edited version isn't a bad thing unlike most edits. They don't cut out violence or anything. They just cut out some less important scenes to fit them onto videos.

This was one of my all time favourite shows when I was a kid. I remember talking about the show to my friends in Primary School and if I missed an episode of it, I would ask them what happened in it, likewise if they missed an episode, they'd ask me and I'd tell them.

I was looking for the show on Google in September 2003 and there was a message board of the show and 1 question on it was "Where can I buy the old videos?" and a person replied "On Ebay." and gave a link of the videos that person had won, so I had a look on Ebay for the videos and had to wait til my 18th birthday as you have to be 18 and over to do online shopping and the maximum age for school is 18 years, 4 and a half months.

When my 18th birthday came, I registered on Ebay and at first, I had to ask other Ebay users in the forum on what to do and they explained and I was soon getting the principal. It takes time to learn you know. Anyway, I have every single video of The Animals Of Farthing Wood now and I am happy. It took me a year and a half to get them all as I always got outbid on them and so, I had to enter high amounts to win. My top 10 favourite characters are:

1 Badger
2 Weasel
3 Squirrels (Farthing Wood ones)
4 Mrs Rabbit
5 Trey the bad tempered stag
6 Ranger, Scarface the blue fox's cub
7 Vixen
8 Voles
9 Fieldmice
10 Mole

My least favourites are everybody who Owl and Weasel meet in Series 3 when they are outside White Deer Park.

My Top 5 Saddest moments:

1 Mr Pheasant sobbing when he sees the farmer's dinner
2 Fox howling beside Dreamer's dead body
3 Mole's mate tells Vixen that Mole died
4 Badger dieing peacefully in his set
5 Fox stepping down as leader at the end

My Most angriest scene:

Anything with Scarface the blue fox and Bully and his rats. Also Trey butting Shadow the female badger into the pond

My favourite quotes:

Quite a lot, but here are some of my favourites and the brackets tell you what part they can be seen and heard on the clips on YouTube here http://www.youtube.com/results?search_q ... thing+wood:

1 Mrs Rabbit - Well, I'm very sorry for what happened I'm sure, but we can all panic you know Hare. Even you, you're not perfect, although you seem to think so. (AOFW Season 1 Part 10)

2 Badger - He'll make his way back to us if he can, Moley. Meanwhile, we'll have to make the best of it. If only I knew what to do. (AOFW Season 1 Part 11)

3 Mrs Rabbit - Don't Panic! My husband is being buried. Don't you dare say a word (AOFW Season 1 Part 14)

4 Vixen - You're not going to find out by terrifying her (AOFW Season 2 Part

5 Trey - If I hear you again, once ever, I shall stamp on you. I don't like Weasels. I don't like the noise they make (Series 3, episode 1)

My favourite episode is Blood Is Thicker Than Water because I liked the fight between Fox and Scarface. I wish Fireman Sam in the John Alderton Series could see them fight and join in with them too.

The show brought back a lot of memories after seeing them for the first time since Primary School and having seen the videos dozens of times since they came through the letterbox after winning them on Ebay, I am familiar with all of Series 1 and will not be beaten on it meaning I know every single scene and quote. I may know some of Series 2, but perhaps not everything in that Series and I know very little of Series 3 as I didn't like that Series. But overall, I am happy with the show. And I've just discovered that Ron Moody, 1 of the cast of the show died on Thursday. I knew the time would come, even if someone in their 90's is still fit and healthy, I still fear for their deaths.

That was one of my favorites.
