Mei and Gabu will die in the cartoon, like in the book
Well, who's to say this adaptation is even more childish than the movie?- But they never die in the book...
The CGI series seems more mature than the movie
I believe it. While we see actual blood in the movie, the series deals sometimes with deaths almost-in-screen, as the death of a friend of another character. The relationship between May and her mother is shown more than the movie, making the death of the mother even sadder. We see Gabu tempted severals times to eat May, even if they're friends since a while. Gabu is seen more bullied and considered like a dumb by the other wolves, and we see that it bothers him. Sexual assumptions seem less subtle, even for laughs ( see Ho yay page ). Because of May, her herd is forced to move somewhere, and Tapp is really angry against her. Giro is more concerned by the death of Gabu's father. In the same episode, May have a nightmare ( with a little jumpscare ) about Gabu who almost eat her. While we know that the pack of wolves is going to kill Gabu and May, in the serie, wolves said how they are going to kill Gabu ( They intend to dismember him in 8 parts] ). And as the serie explore more the others goats and the relation between May and her grand-mother than in the movie, it's a bit little sadder to know that May surely never see them again, especially her grand-mother. Gabu and May already encountered before the one stormy night
When Gabu told May that he lives in Baku Baku Valley, the female goat's Imagine Spot of this place is filled with wolves, and Gabu can be spotted at the top, next to Barry (whom she also must have seen and escaped before)And for the reddish wolf, while we don't see May in his representation of Sawa Sawa Mountain, we can assume that he just saw another meal among other that he doesn't remember.
