EPISODES
Episode 1 "MY NAME IS JAKE" - PART ONE
A spaceship plummets to Earth in a construction site, and five unsuspecting teens - Jake, Rachel, Marco, Cassie, and Tobias - discover a dying alien, an "Andalite" prince named Elfangor, who communicates with them in <thought-speak>. Elfangor warns them that Earth has been invaded by the evil "Yeerks," green, slug-like creatures, which enslave their victims one by one by crawling into their ears and taking control of their minds. To empower and protect the young Earthlings, Elfangor gives them a unique Andalite gift - the ability to morph into any animal they touch. Now, the five "Animorphs" must use their newly acquired power to battle the Yeerks and save the galaxy. They must trust no one, and nothing will ever be the same again....
Scared and curious, the Animorphs experiment with Elfangor's gift. On Cassie's family farm, Jake, Rachel, Marco, Cassie, and Tobias practice their new morphing powers, experiencing, for the first time, what it feels like to be a horse, a cat, and a rat. The Animorphs, now confident about their new ability, return to the crash site to retrieve a lost disk given to them by Elfangor, who warned the kids to guard it with their lives. To their horror, when the Animorphs arrive at the construction site they find the place filled with "human-Controllers!"
There's something suspicious about a new club called "The Sharing." The Animorphs attend a meeting at school to find out more. They are led into the ominous "Yeerk Pool," that Controllers must visit every three days in order for the Yeerks to survive...Will the Animorphs ever get out alive?
After a terrifying close call in the Yeerk Pool, the Animorphs decide to split up and gather more information. While Rachel and Cassie find out about The Sharing and look for the missing Tobias, Jake and Marco make a startling discovery about Elfangor's disk...!
Tobias finally shows up and nothing will ever be the same....Meanwhile, Rachel's best friend Melissa (the daughter of human-Controller Principal Chapman) is acting strange and distant. When Rachel and Jake are captured in cat and dog morph, the Animorphs are in danger of becoming part of the animal kingdom...forever.
Cassie and Tobias are having strange visions and feeling someone's pain.... Cassie follows her visions and discovers another injured Andalite has crashed on Earth. This young Andalite, named Ax, is unsure whom he can trust. Should he place his faith in the young humans who possess the Andalite's unique ability to morph, or in that other stranger...
The Animorphs have discovered a secret weapon to use against the Yeerks - maple-flavoured oatmeal! The Yeerks crave it, and when they eat it, they are unable to control their hosts! But to use the oatmeal weapon successfully, the Animorphs will have to return to their darkest nightmare...the Yeerk Pool!
Homesick for his own planet, Ax uses a high-powered telescope to contact his father, and becomes hurt and upset when he is blamed for entrusting the Animorphs with the Andalite power to morph. Ax tries to hide his feelings from his friends on Earth, but soon learns that he must trust the Animorphs if they are to fight together against the Yeerks..
Episode 9 "THE REACTION"
Cassie and Rachel rescue a young boy from a crocodile pit at the zoo. But, since the incident, Cassie has been itchy...and morphing involuntarily. The girls are invited to appear on a morning TV show, but if Cassie's not careful, she'll end up morphing on national TV!
An omniscient alien, the Ellimist, pays a surprise visit to the Animorphs and shows them the probable future--complete Yeerk domination of the Earth. The Ellimist offers the Animorphs and their families refuge on another planet. Will the Animorphs abandon their battle to save the Earth in order to save themselves?
Episode 11 "THE FORGOTTEN"
Rachel morphs a hawk, but something goes terribly wrong. She crashes and awakens lost in the woods with no memory. First captured by a suspicious freed controller and then '"rescued" by controllers at a Sharing camp-out, Rachel doesn't know whom to trust. Will she remember about the Yeerks before it's too late?
Episode 12 "THE CAPTURE" - PART ONE
Jake's dad has been planning the installation of a new health clinic at the local hospital. On the eve of the grand opening, Jake discovers that the clinic's most generous benefactor is...a Yeerk! The Animorphs must infiltrate the clinic before the Governor, the clinic's special guest, is infected!
Jake is acting pretty normal...but he did fall into the Yeerk pool. The Animorphs decide to play it safe and keep Jake under close watch for three days. They cannot trust him. But can they save him?
Tobias and Ax take a trip down memory lane when Ax constructs a "living diary maker" which projects their memories. To help Ax understand what it is to be human, Tobias revisits some painful human memories. In the process, Tobias understands that he's still the same person, no matter what his physical form.
The weight of battling the Yeerk invasion is wearing on Jake and after a bad day, he wishes he'd never met Elfangor at all. But be careful what you wish for, it might come true. After a taste of "what if" from the Ellimist, Jake realizes that as hard as the fight is, it must go on.
The Animorphs discover a second Kandrona and set out to destroy it, but Jake and Marco are caught with the Yeerk's new morph-detecting devices and sent into space aboard the Yeerk mother ship. On the ship Jake and Marco uncover some shocking secrets.
Back on earth, Cassie and Rachel destroy the Kandrona. Marco and Jake make a daring escape from the mother ship with the help of Ax and the other Animorphs. Marco has a new reason to fight the Yeerks.
A Yeerk Kandrona has been destroyed and Yeerks everywhere have been dying from lack of Kandrona rays. Temporarily free from the Yeerks in their heads, controlled humans are acting very strangely. Could this be Jake's chance to save Tom? And can Mr. Perkins, a new Animorphs ally, manage to evade the Controllers hot on his trail?
The Animorphs are excited about the district finals basketball game -- but not because they’re huge sports fans. The Sharing is putting on the half-time show and a large event like this is ideal for trapping new hosts. And little do they know but the controllers are planning to unleash their newest breed of Yeerks that don’t need Kandrona to live! Tom and Chapman lose the disk and one of the Animorphs recovers it only to unlock it’s secret!
At the district finals basketball game, Principal Chapman announces that there is a tornado warning in town and everyone must retreat to the basement shelter for safety. The Animorphs know that there is nothing safe about this shelter--it’s the Yeerk pool. To make matters worse, Jake is trapped in a room with Visser 3, Cassie and Ax are dangerously close to becoming human-controllers, and none of the other Animorphs have a clue as to how to handle the situation. Despite these dismal odds, the group pulls together and, using the new secret powers from the disk, the battle begins....
Episode 21 "FACE-OFF" - PART THREE
Things certainly haven’t gotten any easier for the Animorphs: Ax is minutes away from being caught in human morph forever, Cassie is about to become a human controller, and Jake has morphed his own brother in order to confuse Visser 3. Marco, Rachel and Tobias know that they must destroy the new breed of super-Yeerks before they hatch, but they can’t even find them. After stumbling around in the dark tunnels of the basement, Marco finds the control room. This is a great discovery...but what’s Yeerk for "stop everything?"
Episode 22 "MY NAME IS EREK"
Marco and Jake witness Erek, a shy kid from school, display super human strength when he rescues a stray dog. Since Erek hangs out with kids from The Sharing, Marco and Jake are convinced that he’s some new kind of Super Yeerk. They morph in order to check him out, and that’s when things really start to get weird! The good news is that Erek isn’t a human-controller. The bad news is that Erek’s not even human.... and he desperately needs their help.
Ax lands a job at a new electronics store. The store owner pushes Ax to sell, sell, sell for their huge cell-phone promotion. When Tom buys two--one for himself and another for his latest crush, Melissa Chapman, Jake and Marco get a little suspicious. What’s with this sudden cell-phone craze? They follow Tom to investigate the situation...and are horrified to discover what Ax is really selling.
Tired of defending the world from alien invaders, the Animorphs decide to unwind and relax at their school’s spring dance. Rachel can’t wait to go with her dream date--Tobias, of course. Once she persuades Jake and Cassie to double date with them, she drags Cassie off to the mall in search of the perfect dress. The shopping expedition ends in disaster when Cassie discovers that a well-known cosmetics company tests their products on animals. Enraged, she convinces Jake to break into the laboratory with her and free the animals. When their plan backfires completely, the other Animorphs rush in and save the day. Exhausted from the battle, Marco runs into the woods so that he can morph in private. Unfortunately, he doesn’t realize that he’s got company....
Nothing is going right for the Animorphs. Tobias refuses to take Rachel to the dance, Marco can’t find a date at all, and Ax is acting even stranger than usual. To make matters worse, Harold Nesbit, notorious computer nerd, has a video tape of Marco morphing from dog to human, and has mailed it to "The World’s Weirdest Video" show. Jake and Rachel decide to sneak into the TV studio and steal the tape. Unfortunately, this is not as easy as it sounds. When Rachel and Jake arrive at the studio, they discover that a new TV executive has taken control of the studio...and his name is Visser 3.
Episode 26 "CHANGES" - PART THREE
The spring dance is only hours away, and Tobias still refuses to go...he’s got more serious things to deal with. A graffiti image of a hawk is popping up all over the city. Worried that someone knows about his hawk morph, he decides to investigate the situation. Meanwhile, Marco is busy conducting his own investigation. When he notices a suspicious looking construction worker hanging around school, Marco follows him...and discovers that his friends are in huge danger.
