1	An [[TheAbridgedSeries Abridged Series]] by a Website/YouTube user named Hethrin based on the ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' [[note]]AKA ''Brian Jacques' Redwall''[[/note]] animated series. The series often [[GagDub parodies]] the many changes that were made in the show, as well as some tropes that appear in the books. Hethrin originally managed to create 8 episodes before [=YouTube=] deleted his account for some silly reason. Not to be outdone, Hethrin returned to [=YouTube=] under the new name of "Hethrinlives", and re-uploaded the series. The series became a DeadFic for a while, but than in October 2012, Hethrin [[HopeSpot announced that he would be resuming the project, and that he was currently working on Episode 9]].

3	But then Hethrin and TheAbridgedSeries mysteriously disappeared from the Internet, [[MissingEpisode apparently forever]]. This page was for a time the first result when you searched "Redwall the abridged series" on Google...

5	''Untill'' September 30, 2012, when [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_aaefLYu1cQuKVRMHeQ14A Hethrin returned to Youtube in glory!]] So far, the first three episodes have been re-uploaded.

7	As of March 26, 2015, Hethrin has once again vanished off the face of [=YouTube=], taking his series with him.
8
9	On March of 2017 [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBuLhPaqNAJMCCydjDySHCg a youtube channel]] was created to upload saved episodes of the series and well as some of the extras. There is also [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/uouxuvha436c8jn/Redwall%20the%20Abridged%20Series.zip?dl=0 a dropbox]] that has almost all the videos related to the series (with the exception of the second video of the Halfway Special)

11	----
12	!!This series provides examples of:
13
14	* AffectionateParody: Of Redwall.
15	* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by name in Episode 1.
16	* AnachronismStew: Played for laughs. All kinds of pop-culture references, from movies to video games, but all the technology used onscreen by the characters is [[MedievalStasis medieval]].
17	* AnimalStereotypes: Played with. This is ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'', after all.
18	--> '''Abbot Mortimer:''' Why do you automatically assume that every rat is evil?
19	--> '''Matthias:''' Have you ever heard of such a thing as a good rat?
20	--> '''Abbot Mortimer''' Have you ever watched ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNimh''?
21	* AntiHero: Matthias. There is really very little that is actually heroic about him.
22	* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: In Episode 5.
23	--> '''Matthias:''' As the French say, [[GratuitousJapanese Sayonara!]]
24	--> '''Redtooth:''' The French [[LampshadeHanging don't say thaaaaaat!]]
25	%%* BetterThanABareBulb: The series begins with a LampshadeHanging and keeps going from there.
26	%%* BlackComedy: Plenty. Methuselah's death is particularly noteworthy.
27	* BowChickaWowWow: By Cluny's horde after Sela says she wishes to be left alone with him.
28	* CannotTellAJoke: Asmodeaus.
29	--> '''Asmodeaus:''' [[KnockKnockJoke Knock! Knock!]]

31	--> '''Asmodeaus:''' Asmo.
32	--> '''Chickenhound:''' Asmo Who?
33	--> '''Asmodeaus:''' Asmodeaus.
34	--> '''Chickenhound:''' That's... not very funny.

36	--> '''Matthias:''' I didn't think it was that funny either.
37	%%* DeadFic: Twice!
38	%%* DeadpanSnarker: Matthias.
39	%%* DeusExMachina: Lampshaded with the shrews at the end of Episode 7.
40	%%* DirtyCommunists: The GUOSIM.
41	* {{Expy}}: Shadow is an obvious expy of Gollum from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''. Constance has a similar voice and manner to ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''' Edna Mode for some reason.
42	** Then there's King Bull: "The feathered version of Boss Nass from ''Film/ThePhantomMenace''".
43	* FakeOutOpening: Episode 6 opens with a granny in a rocking chair opening "The Fluffy Bunny Show".
44	* FunWithAcronyms: GUOSIM the "Gross, Ugly, Obnoxious, Stupid, Irritating Moron".
45	* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] hilariously by Basil in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuc9r0kaILo comment special]].

50	* LikeIsLikeAComma: Redtooth's [[CatchPhrase signature]] speech pattern.
51	-->'''Redtooth:''' Like, open the gates, or I'll drop them, and stuff.
52	* NoFourthWall: Par for the course in an AbridgedSeries.
53	* ObfuscatingStupidity: The villians try this in Episode 6. Unfortunately, the troops really are that stupid.
54	%%* PokemonSpeak: Lampshaded with Asmodeaus.
55	* PerverseSexualLust: According to Basil's comment special, some viewers harbor this for Matthias.
56	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In Episode 8, [[spoiler:Cheesethief discovers Cluny's plan to kill him, and decides to turn from Cluny and become a rat of peace. Cue giant crossbow]]. This kind of thing actually happens quite often in [[Literature/{{Redwall}} the books]].
57	* ShipperOnDeck: Cheesethief to [[CrackPairing Cluny and Sela]].
58	* ShoutOut: Lots in every episode.
59	* SoundTrackDissonance: The random bits of pop music that play when you'd least expect.
60	* StayInTheKitchen: Matthias suggests this to Constance in Episode 8. She is not impressed.

62	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Cluny in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmU-EEgacyY Episode 1]].

67	-->'''Shadow:''' This is Just like playing Thief: Deadly Shadows, only their AI is even dumber
68	** Ragear (That rat that gets eaten by Asmodeus) deserves a special mention. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] ([[BetterthanaBareBulb Of course]]).
69	* TheUnintelligible: Fangburn. The subtitles help.
70	* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Matthias.
