    I’m 30 and we had Animorphs books in our house and at school as a kid. However, I think the original several books were kind of old at that point and not as popular.

      Their “hay day” was 1996-1999 and were popular enough that nickelodeon tried making a terrible live action TV show that went 26 episodes before being canceled in 98,99. The books were way too violent and traumatizing to make a kids show out of it, but those dumb tv executives still figured they’d give it a shot.
