Someone on YouTube makes an excellent point about the movie possibilities.
Basically, Warriors is a series designed mainly for kids. Cats that talk, right? But there's also a lot of non-PG stuff. Childbirth deaths, battles galore, murder, (dying in) pools of blood, etc. So while kids can read about that stuff no problem, making a movie about it is questionable.
So if they do make the movie, they have to rate it according to content. And Warriors content visualized would be PG-13, if not 14-A. And when parents try to take their kids to see the movie adaptation of their favorite series and see it's rated 14-A, they might feel a little hesitant.
And there's your problem. The production company will want to sell the movie to the same audience as the books, but also keep it as accurate as possible. But battles are such a big part of Warriors ... what would they do?

if its PG-13 the parents should be smart and not let their kids watch it, or just go to a review website. I don't think the production company wants to focus on the book audience, but rather those who do not know about warriors or didn't think they would enjoy reading it, they want to show the best parts of warriors and take out the worst parts to draw in new fans.

Yes, but then it might be a huge flop that way like other movie adaptions... -.-
(This is why I protested the whole movie idea when it started...)

Have faith and trust that the Erin Hunters made the right choice, they didn't wait all these years to find the right production company to make the movie just for it to flop "We have had discussions with production companies but nothing has been quite right yet. And since we believe that you deserve the best possible movie, we'll wait until we can make a Warriors blockbuster!" - on the warriors website |

I feel like the only one who hates that the movie will be like the new adaptations of Disney movies. I wish that it had a Don Bluth style, such as Felidae.

It was one of my favorite movies back then (which might just partly be because it was the only movie I had seen with owls in it, and I was and am a massive bird nerd). |

[ Ooc: ] Most movies but not all movies out there that are pg 13 should be rated, rated r But they are not, I wrote a paper about the ratings they give movies you can see a lot more inappropriate stuff in a pg 13 than a rated r, and if there parents allow them to read the books then they can see the movie.
Besides there are far worse things out there than blood and cats fighting. There are plenty of movie about animals with blood and fighting.

[ Rp: ] Well, yes, but it's because the movie (which hopefully will be rated PG-13) is based off a book designed [more or less] for kids that they have the problem. Obviously, there are more violent scenes in other movies than in Warriors, but I have some quite young friends that read warriors. It's that little kids who loved the book want to see the movie. And reading books is different because you can choose how realistically you imagine and visualize the battles and stuff. So if a kid who imagined the whole series in a very cartoony, Disneyesque fashion, then they may be surpised with a CGI-heavy, realistic, PG-13 violent movie. So it's really up to the makers of the movie. Will they make it an animated "cartoon" style, and keep little kids happy, or make the whole thing much more realistic and true to the nature of the fights. |

[ Ooc: ] even if the kids see it that way... they way the book is will never change. And its their faults in a way for seeing the book in a cartoon y way, because that is not how the book is
But thats just the thing... most of the books aren't violent only the battles which didn't happen vary often. The books dont just revolve around battles and violence. depending on wether or not they are making the first movie just about the first book. there is only one battle in the first book.
And for one kids see tons of bad stuff on tv anyways, kids are consistently exposed to bad things everyday.one movie about cats fighting each other isn't going to scar them for life... when i was a kid i saw a kid shot another kid in a movie.
If they are so worried about the kids why dont they dumb down the battle parts so there isn't so much blood.
And it isn't just kids who read the warriors, there are plenty of adults who read the warriors.

Totally agreed. The problem is that yes, battles aren't everything - but there's a very good chance that there'll be one featured in the trailer. I mean, the book OPENS with a big battle.
They could certainly tone down the blood and violence level. But would they do it to a good degree? And yes, kids are exposed to that kind of thing ... but that doesn't mean adults want them to be.
At this point, we kind of have to just wait for the trailers and see what'll happen.

*instantly thinks of Watership Down*
Unless I'm a psychopath or something similar, I think anyone over the age of 9 might be ok.
The parents... nope.
I'm going to reference SSS Warriors for a minute and say that I don't think the battles were too bloody there. If they found a way to do something similar for the way they're animating it without making it look too terrible, I'd be ok with it.
Little bit of blood, but most of it was just marks showing that the character was damaged, rather than graphic wounds.

Exactly. The readers and the fandom know what's good for people watching and what is the right amount of blood, battles, etc.
The Erins know that, too.
The parents and the producers don't, as far as I'm concerned. The people making the movie might think Warriors is a cartoony childrens book using cats to act out real-life problems. The parents might think Warriors is a violent, bloody war story. I agree with you totally.

Honestly I think if the blood isn't overly graphic there shouldn't be a problem getting the movie to a PG rating.
Also, were some of the Harry Potter movies PG-13? (I forget) Because those books were intended for the same-ish age group, though one could argue that those books were meant to age with the audience so maybe that isn't the best example.
But yeah I don't think they'd have too hard a time not making it too graphic. I'm still choosing to remain tentatively optimistic.

The majority of ten-year-olds should be able to handle PG-13, but I know what you're talking about.
The movies would definitely have to be oriented towards people 13 years old and up, unlike the actual series, which is actually for people around 9 to 12 years old.
edit: whoops I necroposted I guess

I'm saying the battles and death shouldn't discredit a children's movie. After all, Watership Down was marketed as a children's movie, despite the book being for adults. I doubt they could make the movie more graphic than classic children's movies where no one was too sensitive to see some blood and death.

Well, the library is a good place to start.
I'm very critical about books, movies, TV shows, etc. but you really can't appreciate how absolutely awful the movie is until you've read the books.
Kathryn Lasky is incredible. Very similar to Erin Hunter, but the prose and plots are much better.
