The Wingfeather Saga S1-S3

This is one of the most interesting animated series I have seen in quite some time. I have not read the books but the story has me hooked instantly from episode one. Due to the story being so good I very may well end up reading the books, I'm a sucker for fantasy novels. I absolutely can not wait until the next episode comes out! I hope this series continues to the end of the story. Overall it seems extremely family friendly and appropriate for any age. It features fantastic music and inspiring characters. I would highly recommend this series to anyone interested in family friendly fantasy. I love it!

Such an important story!!! The Wingfeather Saga was the first novel series my 10 year old daughter fell in love with while she listened to us read it to her, and I kept luring her into confidence until she finally started reading it herself. She looks at the maps and memorizes all the details. She waited in anticipation, and she was thrilled to see the show. The storyline is so deep and sweet for kids as well. We just finished the first episode, and we will watch all the other ones that come out! The animation is unique and creative and just took me a minute to get used to and then I loved it. It's really beautifull.

I have always been a fan of Andrew Peterson's phenomenal book series, so when news reached me of an animated series in development, I was more than excited to see what the Wingfeather Saga team could put together. And I was not disappointed. This series, despite condensing the story, adapts it in a way that makes it enjoyable for the screen and yet true to the core parts of the books. While the events may not exactly match up, and certain details may be added, the characters and heart of the story remain intact, with Andrew Peterson maintaining creative control presiding over the project alongside executive producer Chris "Charlie Wingfeather" Wall. Season One was a blast, and I can't wait to see what comes of Season Two, and I'm especially looking forward to the soundtracks being released! Great work, Angel Studios and Wingfeather teams! ~Elijah Elliott, "Aerwiar Archives"

I loved reading the Wingfeather Saga with my son. It's such a great story filled with adventure, drama, danger, and redemption. When we heard that there would be an animated film we were super excited and waited with anticipation. Well it did not disappoint! Episode 1 was an excellent start to the wingfeather saga. It was engaging and very well done! The characters were just like we imagined them. The fangs were terrifying, the igaby kids were rowdy with something deeper not yet revealed. And the dragon scene was spectacular! Needless to say, we will be tuning in for the rest!! Set up the story perfectly! Can't wait!

This pilot captures the spirit of the book series extremely well, I read these books to my 8-9 year old daughter and voiced all the characters while reading, of course. We had a blast. I didn't think the series would be able to capture what we created at home, but I'm duly impressed. The animation is absolutely beautiful and I'm super impressed with the audio & music which, for me, is a huge deal. Great audio is necessary for great filmmaking. I think the voice casting is pretty solid, and I love the visually diverse Glipwood. I think the teleplay beats are spot on and represent the first few chapters of the first book extremely well. My favorite moment was when Leeli & the brothers get a brief flash of their powers during the Dragon Day Festival. What a powerful moment... which brought me to tears. Well done production team! I'm excited to watch these again & again with my kids who adore the books... as do I. Thank you Andrew Peterson for being a conduit!

As a person who read the books and enjoyed them, I gotta say, the first episode was disappointing. The proof of concept film they created in 2016 felt closer to the spirit of the books then this episode. I read an enjoyed the books, though I think they had a few major flaws, and weren't as amazing as many seem to think, but they were still enjoyable. When I heard they were making a tv show, I held my breath in anticipation. They built hype, hired professionals, raised the money. I expected myself to mostly enjoy the series, while slightly cringing at its, lets say, narrative flaws. Now I don't think I will need to worry about those narrative flaws, because the first episode felt GUTTED of everything I expected. And it wasn't just the story that was disappointing, but the visuals and music as well. I knew things needed to be cut for the show, but they cut things I would never have thought would have been cut. Things in the book that seemed non negotiable, and they cut them. Maybe they will be in a later episode, but even so, its still feels like a poor start. There were also moments in the dialogue that made no sense, and gave contradictory implications. Visually, it was kind up and down. Some parts were animated consistently, but then other scenes were jankier, and then a few out of the blue that were as smooth as butter, and off putting. The backgrounds were also up and down, not being consistent, sometimes having lots of detail, to hardly any. A few characters also looked like they were made for a completely different show, not being stylised the same way as others. And the characters often didn't look like they were actually in the environment, and the colour palate felt crowding and hard on the eyes. It felt overall like it had low quality control. Where was the art director? The music was okay, but during the midpoint montage during the festival, the music weirdly made me feel uncomfortable. It didn't sound exactly happy, just weird and disorienting. (That's probably just a personal nitpick) Perhaps things will improve, but even the characters themselves were changed from what they were, in attitude, behaviour, and desires. If you are a fan of the books, and are looking for a consistent adaptation, I'm not sure if this show will be that, but make up your own mind as we wait for episode 2. I'm aware that the writer of the books is one of the producers of the tv show, but it I'm worried that the original magic of the books will be forgotten.

I just finished watching episode one and I'm just blown away. It was everything I wanted and more. The art style was very unique. I loved it more than I thought I would from seeing the short clips on youtube. Voice acting spectacular especially Slarb. What! On the fangs, they really felt mean and menacing. For just one episode, they really captured the suffering of the Glipwood folk perfectly. Yurgens tune was also beautiful and overall sound design was great. My only complaint was it ended too quickly. Haha. I can't wait to get my nieces to see this, my whole family to be honest. Major props to all who contributed to make this possible. BIG WIN!!!

Awesome first episode and can't wait to watch more. Well done everyone who has work on this an God bless you all! Lord bless you and keep you make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you! Lord bless you and give you peace! Amen. I hope and pray this show is a blessing to all around the world as it points us to hope and gives children a fresh perspective on the wonders of our God. I pray too over all the creators of this show may the Lord bless your work many times over and may the gift of all this creativity inspire many generations to come. The Lord is great and I know he can do all things because he hears our prayers! Amen!

I've only read the first book of this series with my daughter and we both loved it. It's an excellent story, well told with wonderful characters, and a placed in a charming world. The first episode of the TV show attempts to bring us into the world Peterson so wonderfully wrote, and it ends up (by the end of the first episode) feeling rushed and uneven. It deviates pretty strongly from the book in some key areas-notably the character introductions-and makes me worry a bit for how it will handle the narrative going forward. Already, the discovery of the dangers of Glipwood Forest has been subverted by an intro that was far different in the book and better done in the short film. There are also audio mixing issues where the voices don't always clear the mix and come out muddled and incomprehensible. The music is also mixed poorly and feels too rote in places and ill fitting in others. Perhaps I expected too much from the animation after the short film, but I felt a little let down initially. Thankfully, it's done well enough that I was drawn in and enjoyed it after readjusting my expectations. The character designs are excellent and the voice actors do a great job with their characters. Criticisms aside, there is so much potential in this show already and I am looking forward to seeing the rest of this season and reading the other books with my daughter soon.

My family has loved every one of the books. The show was highly anticipated in our house, and it did not disappoint! The art was beautifully unique, and the soundtrack was incredible. The cast did a wonderful job of bringing these beloved characters to life. My whole family was immediately drawn deeper into the story in a new way. It was so fun to see the creatures in motion; the toothy cow was so wonderfully frightening. The Fangs of Dang were as awful as they were written to be. Wonderful! We look forward to grabbing the soundtrack while we wait for the rest of the series to roll out. You can tell a lot of heart went into bringing this story to the screen. We can't wait for the rest! An amazing story come to life!
