Do You Remember 90s Animorphs?

Let’s take a trip down memory lane. Imagine
you’re back in the 90s, it shouldn’t be hard to do considering 90s
nostalgia is incredibly prevalent in the year of our lord 2020. There
are TV shows set in that era, 90s fashion is making a comeback and
we’re all doing out own highlights because of, you know, worldwide
pandemic. We might as well look back at 90s art and talk about that
book series that blew our minds with their cover art. That’s right,
we’re talking Animorphs.

It was a
different time back then. We didn’t have CGI just yet but art was
definitely expanding its horizons and the idea of morphing was
emerging. So when we saw Animorph covers with images of kids morphing
into animals – it blew our minds. Not only because it seemed super
cool, but also because we’ve never seen anything like that before.

In modern-day it
looks exceptionally 90s and so weird it’s almost embarrassing, but
back then it was the most impressive thing we’ve ever seen. Which
is probably why Animorph series still have a cult-like following to
this day.

Do you remember
the whole idea of the series? It was all about these kids who were
granted the power of turning into any animal they touched in order to
fight the aliens and protect Earth. A pretty wacky idea, right? But
there were like 60 books plus spinoffs. And the artist who did most
of the covers definitely deserves recognition. I mean, he’s
basically responsible for blowing our mind with those covers.
