General "Did you Know?"s

[gamemaster1991]

The aliens from the Animophs book series, the Andalites, were meant to be the original little gray guys that everyone knows about. Scholastic, Thinking more in money than in plot, told K.A. Applegate to make the aliens more original so that if there were ever to be a TV series or Movie, than they could stand out. K.A., being the jackass that she could be when she didn't like something, made the Andalites so different that no one could pull it off successfully, not that Nick didn't try. Speaking of which, K.A. voiced her opinion of the TV show in #48 The Return. In the book, Rachel lists a handful of studios who she's convinced would mess up the morphing, including Nick, which is funny since the special effects where the only good parts of the show (being on par with that of T2 if one critic is to be believed).

I just brought it up to show you my new favorite book cover.
