When most people read a book they enjoy, they wish that there would be a movie, or tv show about it. Then when it happens they are all upset becuase doesn't turn out the way they imagined it. That's what happened with animorphs. There are thousands of fans of the books, who couldn't wait for the tv show. Out of those people, maybe a couple thousand fans watch the show and like it. Many just watch the show to get a good laugh. Another handful of people watch because they like one of the actors. Then there are the people who watch because they actually like the show.
My guess is that the books have lost out on a lot of readers because of the show. There are people who were thinking about reading Animophs, then saw the show and said "If the books are anything like the show I'm not going to waste my time reading them." There are also people who watch the show and say "The show is so cool. I can't wait to read the books."
They could have improved the show by following the story lines of the books more closely. Also if they had gotten actors and actresses closer to the age of the characters in the books, the show would be better.
