Thanks to Mirienne and Dameg, we now have 30 new Japanese illustration scans that were printed in the Japanese Animorph books! Here are a couple of my favourites:

The rest can be viewed here, in International Books under the Merchandise Database.
Aside from that, all of subpages in the Merchandise section also went through some minor cosmetic changes to make everything uniform. I’ll be sure to get to more fan submissions on my next update. 🙂
Thanks to JRTCMA for letting me know, the winners for the Animorphs 2008 Music Video Contest have been announced! The winners are:
1st Place
“EVERYDAY IS EXACTLY THE SAME” (Series Tribute) / By Issam S.
2nd Place
“SET ME FREE” (Tobias Tribute) / By Mimi.
3rd Place
“MISSING” (Jake Tribute) / By Visser2Azula
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED! The Contest Page has been updated with these results, and you can watch all the winners on there, as well as the videos for all of the participants.
Thanks to TTH, and the great Animorphs LiveJournal Community, we now have 2 more songs from the Animorphs TV show in the Music and Soundtracks page. As usual, they can both be downloaded or streamed here on the site. They are:
Eden White’s “Song Unsung”
From Jake & Tom’s phone convo in “The Capture” Part 2
Poe – “Fly Away”
From Tobias’s first flight in “Tobias” (heh).
A few more fan submissions have also been updated (sorry for the delay). They include: 2 new Memorable Quotes from Amy; 1 new Music Video from Visser2Azula; and 1 new wallpaper in the Image Gallery by Slayer XY.
Speaking of Slayer XY, I want to give a major thanks out to him right now. He emailed me a little while back and gave me the requested inside covers in High Quality, and not only for the ones that we needed in better quality, but he went through and gave me ALL of the inside covers along with them anyway. Awesome stuff. Thanks Slayer XY for the incredible effort, and to everyone else who I know did a lot out of their way for providing me the inside covers also. I’ll be sure to give every one of you proper credit once the book section is up, which, yes, will be completed sometime this decade (Hey, it’s a LOT to go through with 50+ Animorph books!).
Lastly, I have updated the FAQ and the Help Wanted sections on the Support Page. The FAQ has a new entry for those that are interested in knowing about the Animorphs movie. I get several emails asking me the same question over and over, so instead of repeating myself constantly, I thought it’d be best if I created an answer to it on here.
I still have some more stuff piling up for me to add onto this site (as always), but that’s all I can do for now at the moment. Until next time!
I’ve added two new links on the side bar. The first one is an interesting site I came across that collects and documents well known TV Tropes. Surprisingly, Animorphs was not only mentioned, but had an entire page dedicated to it! It references both the TV show and the books from the series, and is actually a pretty interesting thing to read through. Check out:
ANIMORPH TELEVISION TROPES & IDIOMS
(www.tvtropes.org)
Also, I thought I’d let everyone know of another blog by Michael Grant:
I ran across an interesting and very funny video of Michael Grant (co-author of Animorphs) promoting his latest book “GONE” on Stupid Blog Name. Be sure to have a look, I think you’ll enjoy it as much as I did:
Source: Stupid Blog Name
Related Link: Michael Grant’s Youtube Page
Some more new things for today. The Audio Clips section in Downloads has been fixed. I know some people were having problems with it when I first released it, so I re-encoded everything so that it would work well no matter what browser you used now (IE, Firefox, etc). If something is still off or not working on that page, then please let me know by emailing me or by posting below.
Also, we’ve got a bunch of new items today for the Fan Projects section:
Fan Art: Check out some awesome drawings from Monster Man, with a total of 8 pieces. Visser Three is known for many vicious and unusual morphs for hunting down the Animorphs in the series, and Monster Man has gone through and drawn most of them in here. Go ahead and take a look. I think you’ll like ’em.
Video: Visser2Azula has another great video for us: Jake’s Tribute.
Multimedia: Two new interesting things here. Both of these are from RAF, and once I saw them, I just had to ask the creators to see if they would want to share it with us. I’m glad they agreed.
Check out a Yeerk Online Host Compatibility Dating mock webpage called InfestRight made by Pez001, and an Animorphs Phone Answering Machine sound clip by Toominator (It has been posted in the audio clips page as well).
I personally think both of these are absolutely hilarious and creative. Hopefully you all enjoy them as much as I did.
Lastly, we’ve got a bunch of great new Quotes added in from you guys, so check those out, and be sure to send more of your favourites our way.
That about covers it for now. Until next time!
Michael Grant & K.A. Applegate (co-authors of Animorphs) have their own new blog up now called “Stupid Blog Name”.
Check it out at: www.stupidblogname.com
Update: I’ve added links for K.A, Michael, and everyone else onto the right side of this blog. All future links will be updated on there.
This is an unrelated post to the archive, but I thought I’d update you all on Michael Grant’s (Animorphs co-author) new series “GONE”. The website TheFayz.com has now been launched with a new blog related to the series. I believe Mr. Grant wrote this blog himself, but I’m not completely sure. Either way, it’s supposed to introduce a new character named “Sinder” that has been unheard of until now, so check it out:
Also, if you haven’t read his new book yet, then what are you waiting for?! I finished it a few weeks back, and I couldn’t put it down! It’s very, very cool, and I’m really looking forward to the sequel (which I believe is set to be released sometime on June 2009).
On a personal note, it’s too bad that the name TheFayz.com was already taken. All throughout the book I was like “Oh man, this is awesome, I gotta start a website or something. I know! I’ll name it THE FAYZ”. I know, I know, I’m just so original. Picture me scene framing that name with my hands and you’ve got an inside peek at my thinking process, lol.
It’s too bad I was beaten to it, but oh well, maybe I’ll come up with something else? Something original. I’ll have to think it through and see if I even have enough time to consider it as a project with my last year of college coming up. Maybe I’ll use it as cover for one of my projects? Hm.. who knows. *grin*
Until next time!
Does everyone here remember David B. Mattingly? He’s the artist who made all of those great morphing covers on the Animorph books. Anyway, he posted a video on Youtube showing off some of the morphs from the covers in animation! Some of them are newly animated and unseen before now! Check it out below!

The Hirac Delest 2008 Music Video Contest is now up! I know there are a lot of fans out there (I guess, including myself now too) that love to make music video for Animorphs (They’re all over Youtube, for those clueless). If you’re one of these people, or you’re someone new who’d like to give it a try, then you’re gonna wanna check this out!
The contest calls for you to submit 2 of your best videos by October 31. Check out the page for rules and categories. I’ve even provided a submission form to make things painless. You can also spread the word, and check any updates for the page directly at: www.hiracdelest.com/contest-status.htm
Also, as for videos, I’ve changed the layout for the Fan Projects main page up a bit, and added in a few new videos: Visser2Azula (1 New) and Huntsgirl12 (9 New – WOW). I also added my video which I updated with on this blog a little while back: Issam (1 New).
A few other small changes have also been made here and there. The Memorable Quotes has also been updated with a new quote. Aside from that, there’s not much else. More will come soon.
Until Next Time! 🙂
