just wondering if anyone has seen, or remembers AOFW from when it was aired. Just wondering, because i got all three seasons on DVD and it is aaaawesome, it was my favourite show when i was little, and is still one of my favourites

yeah i heard of it and i want to get it because im a fox fanatic but the episodes cant be played on american vcr's and you have to buy some special 300$ vcr to play videos from other countries

Never heard of it before

ooooh, awesome, its a awesome show if you like foxes, if you have a DVD player you could try buying a region 0 set of all three series on ebay for around $60aus (thats what i have)

Never heard of it. What is it?

i'll try that. and are your sure that they will be able to play on american dvd's Anaiyak

It was never released into USA so i've heard, so most people won't know what this is. I do though, I've seen nearly all the episodes, its s very good show ^^

I love that show, the foxes and the wolves were my fav characters from it, I did'nt know it was released on DVD, I'm definately gonna buy that box-set now.

you guys are so lucky to be able to watch it, i wish i was able to
how many episodes are there in total

so long as it is region zero encoding it should work, i suggest you read up on it a little just to make sure. Mine was a home made copy made from the videos

it is a bbc production, so i think it only aired in the UK and AUS



hmm... i prefer season 1 and 2 myself aswell, number three just didn't have the pace and it jumped through stories too much, second season was the best by far, i was cut about bold and badger...plus there are not blue foxs in season three either apart from ranger, its just not the same.




there are 39 episodes, around 20 minutes running time per episode.

season 1: 1 - 13
season 2: 14 - 26
season 3: 27 - 39

It's a animated series based on the books by British author Colin Dann. It was made in Germany/UK in 1990 and aired in 1992, 1993 and 1994. It tells the story of Fox, Adder, Weasel, Badger, Kestrel (a hawk), Owl, Vixen, Whistler, Mole and other forest animals as they struggle to survive on a journey to a new home when their old home, Farthing Wood; is destroyed by humans. The first series covers the book 'The Animals of Farthing Wood' as they leave Farthing Wood to seek peace and safety in White Deer Nature Reserve. The second series covers 'In The Grip of Winter', 'Fox Cub Bold' and 'Fox's Feud' as they struggle to survive winter and lose numbers to the evil Blue Foxes who are led by Scarface, a jealous fox who is envious of Fox. The this series also shows Bold, Fox's son; and his adventures in the wild. The third series covers 'Battle for the Park' and 'In The Path of The Storm' as a gang of rats invade the Park, intent on ruling it and it also features Plucky, Fox's grandson. This series was the most hated and disappointing of the three because of the introduction of new writers and animation which made the original characters look odd and too childish. The books 'Seige of White Deer Park' was not made into an animation because it would be too violent for the intended audience. A prequel of the books 'The Adventure Begins' was also missed in the series. The backgrounds were also drawn in France. It is like Watership Down but with more comic relief from Weasel but characters still get killed or injured in brutal ways through the series.

hmmm...i am trying to find the "Seige of White Deer Park" books...eeeeee! i wish they still had animated it
