[edit] Episodes
This DVD includes the first six episodes from the first season of the Redwall TV Series:
[edit] 1. Cluny the Scourge - part I
Matthias the mouse is orphaned when the vile rat Cluny the Scourge destroys his township. Adopted by the generous creatures of Redwall Abbey, he grows up to admire their legendary protector, Martin the Warrior. But his dreamily peaceful young life is shattered when the Abbey is attacked by rats and Matthias meets their warlord-- none other than Cluny! Matthias resolves to fight the tyrant that once again threatens his life-- and new family.
[edit] 2. Cluny the Scourge - part II
While Redwall prepares for a long siege, Cluny steals the symbolic tapestry of Martin the Warrior from within the abbey, and Matthias learns that Martin's great sword still exists-- but nobody knows where. As Cluny's next attack is repulsed Matthias meets a great ally, Basil Stag Hare, and learns that his own destiny is inextricably tied to his hero, Martin. Matthias will become Redwall's next Protector-- but only if his quest for the sword is successful.
[edit] 3. Treachery
Cluny uses the treacherous fox Sela and her son Chickenhound, to plant a false attack plan in Redwall, while Matthias and his mousemaid friend Cornflower unravel a mysterious motto-- "I am that is." It is an anagram of "I Matthias" written years before he was born; another clue for the quest for Martin's sword. Cluny's real underground attack is inventively repulsed by hot porridge and Matthias sees the fearful snake Asmodeus for the first time and realizes that somehow their fates are horribly intertwined.
[edit] 4. Sparra's Kingdom
Following complex clues which promise to lead to Martin's sword, Matthias climbs high into the Abbey roof-- and the kingdom of the crazy King Bull Sparra. He narrowly escapes death when the fiesty sparrow Warbeak returns a kindness and frees him as the King Sparra flies to attack Asmodeus-- who we discover has Martin's sword! The King returns in time to fight Matthias who narrowly escapes death. But at last Matthias knows where his sword quest must end; in a battle against the snake!
[edit] 5. Cluny's Clowns
A travelling circus comes to Redwall and Cluny uses it to try and infiltrate the Abbey with his lieutenants, dressed as clowns. The mysterious circus star, Wild Ivy the Knifethrower, seemingly mesmerizes Matthias. But she is, in fact, an ally and as Cornflower is threatened with death by Cluny, Ivy turns the circus against the rats in an acrobatic battle of fire-eaters versus fur! And we see what Wild Ivy has seen-- that Matthias and Cornflower are destined to be together-- if Redwall survives.
[edit] 6. High Standards
Cluny attempts to starve the Abbey into submission as within Redwall pressure mounts and tempers flare. When Basil and Jess the Squirrel seem to desert, Matthias wonders if surrender is close. He decided to try and rescue the stolen tapestry from Cluny in order to give courage to the Redwallers-- and discovers Basil and Jess attempting the same thing! They outwit Cluny, retrieve the precious tapestry of Martin, and renew the spirit of Redwall.
