There was an animation festival earlier this month in Annency and Tencent Video people had their presentation during it. One of the things that was mentioned there was that Warriors adaptation is coming to Tencent's Cartoon channel.
It doesn't provide a lot of new information, but it's nice to know that:
- It's still something in works. Sure, it's probably too early to have this abandoned, but confirmation is welcome.
- All the other shows that are shown on the slide are animated series, which means that the adaptation is also probably going to be an animated series. This had been mentioned previously in Edelweiss catalog, but again, it's nice to have another thing pointing to it. - It's not targetted at their youngest audience, 0-10. I think some people were afraid of that because that's the audience group Coolabi TV series' profile. It's likely that the target audience is going to be the tween demographics, 8-12, same as the books.

Interesting! I’d have thought to find some news about this during my time in China, though I suppose with how I missed the Rootspring ice cream fridge, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
Here’s to hoping the project comes to fruition!

Yeah, I've tried looking for information in the Chinese Internet but there seems to be even less information about it there than it is in the west - even though I imagine the bulk of animation is going to be done by the Chinese animators. The cat on the ice cream fridge wasn't Rootspring - that was Fireheart from the phonetic illustrated version of The Prophecies Begin.

This is very fascinating indeed! I may dive into a rabbit hole on the video company. I wonder how the series will do in the foreign market. Will Tencent video streaming have exclusive rights to it or will it get sold internationally? I know it's probably way too early to get concise answers.
It just really intrigues me that the first(?) company we got the most news for the series is based in China. I wonder if it'll be animated in the same style as their comics! Only time will tell.

If it's in the Chinese cartoon style, then it'll definitely be aesthetically pleasing. I prefer the Chinese style to the new graphic novel style we're having.

I’m still a bit skeptical about this. I don’t know if the project will actually become complete and/or successful one day, but I can hope. However this whole situation seems sketchy imo. Why does it seem sketchy to you? Tencent is a legitimate company with many projects to their name and wasn't in deep as debt as Alibaba Pictures was. Granted, I do agree that it might not end up coming to fruition, but what about is sketchy?

The company itself doing it is fine, I’m sketchy about how the company will execute the adaption. Like will this be an accurate adaptation?? I think adapting ITW is hard to do and make it successful. Are the people working on this even getting enough inside information about the book to make it a good adaption???
