In the late 1990s, Nickelodeon brought the popular book series Animorphs to life with a live-action television show. The show followed a group of five teens who were given the power to transform into animals in order to fight against their alien enemies, the Yeerks.

Leading the group was Jake (played by Shawn Ashmore), the responsible and level-headed leader who struggled to balance his duties as an Animorph with his life as a high school student. His best friend Marco (Boris Cabrera) added some much-needed humor to the group, often using his new animal form to get himself out of sticky situations.

Meanwhile, Rachel (Brooke Nevin) was the group's fierce warrior, unafraid to take on the Yeerks head-on. Tobias (Christopher Ralph) was the outsider of the group, a quiet boy with a tragic past who found solace in flying as a hawk. Finally, Cassie (Nadia Nascimento) was the empathetic animal lover, who often struggled with the ethical implications of using their powers to fight.

The show was unique in its use of practical effects to create the animal transformations. Rather than relying on CGI, the actors would physically transform on-screen using prosthetics and makeup. This added a level of realism to the show and made the Animorphs' abilities feel tangible and believable.

Throughout the show, the Animorphs faced various challenges and conflicts as they tried to stop the Yeerks from taking over the world. They had to balance their secret superhero identities with their normal lives, which often put them in difficult situations. Additionally, they had to deal with personal issues such as family problems, romance, and the moral implications of their actions.

One notable aspect of the show was its willingness to tackle serious themes and issues. The Animorphs faced situations such as child abuse, war crimes, and discrimination, which added depth and complexity to the show. It was refreshing to see a kids' show that didn't shy away from difficult topics.

Overall, Animorphs was a well-acted, thought-provoking, and entertaining show that was a cult favorite among its fans. While it only lasted for two seasons, it left a lasting impression on those who grew up watching it.

Animorphs is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (31 episodes). The series first aired on September 15, 1998.
