The Wingfeather Saga

Once, in a great while a show comes along where young and old look forward to watching together. Wingfeather is such a show.

The story immediately draws the family in and the animation is completely different than anything we've seen before. It seems like every frame is a piece of art.

Our 11 year old, who read the books, ended up buying wingfeather shirts for himself because he is deeply into the story. I think he has read the books twice. He is so excited for the show and he's struggling to avoid spoilers. "I want to be able to talk to the rest of the family about it!" He said.

So, tonight we all watched the livestream of episode one together. We will be there in two weeks for episode two!

I have enjoyed reading this series with my children and enjoyed watching this show just as much! It's a thrilling family adventure filled with mystery, action, adventure, and a compelling narrative. I'm so thankful for Andrew Peterson and his team for bringing this to the screen.

The voice talent brings these characters to life in a fun way. The writers have set a nice pace for world building for an adventure that has twist and turns filled with a wonderful and magical land.

The music is riveting and filled with the talented Andrew Peterson.

I hope the show gets a full run and allows many to experience a needed story.

I and my family absolutely LOVE The Wingfeather Saga first episode. We waited for months for the first episode. We weren't disappointed. We can't wait for episode 2. The animation is pure art. It's beautiful. And we like the music as well. The characters are fun and interesting. I am looking forward to the series exploring them deeper. This is just so well done. It was worth the wait. I have not read the book set The Wingfeather Saga, but I am certainly going to read it now. What a magnificent idea to turn this book series into a television series. Brilliant. I will definitely be telling everyone I know to watch.

I love the Wingfeather Saga books, and when I heard that they were making it into a show, I was excited! I was a bit concerned that the show might deviate from the books too much, because I hate it when movies and shows do that. And the show does deviate from the books a bit - and somehow, I'm okay with that! (mostly!) Although the order of events and details (and a couple of bigger moments) changed, the story goes in the same direction and the CHARACTERS stay true to the books. This is huge!

And as for the show itself - it's amazing! We've watched each episode over and over, and my kids act it out all the time! It's one of the most beautiful shows I've ever seen (I hope I can get prints of the backgrounds!), the voice actors did an amazing job, the animators are incredible, and I could listen to the music all day... and I often do. I highly recommend it!

My son and I love the Wingfeather Saga books and were very excited to see the animated take on the series. Introducing characters and settings for the first time is always challenging and these books have a lot of vibrant imagery in the descriptions to portray. It took a minute or two for me to adjust my mental pictures to what was being portrayed by the artists, but I found myself quickly swept into the story and the animation style grew on me as we met more characters - especially the dragons!

I am definitely looking forward to seeing the next episode and watching the story unfold - perhaps even more now than initially.

Though I will always recommend the books first, this animated representation is engaging, unique, elegant, and intriguing - much like the books!
