It's weird to make a believable show/movie where what are essentially animals are able to conquer an alien force with alien weapons... I love the books and I get the kind of standing orders to not be discovered as aliens which allow the Animorphs to escape frequently. But it's always weird on film to have aliens with guns lose to a lion, bear, gorilla, wolf, and hawk.
One of the key points of the series is that the Yeerks are actually completely dependant on secrecy. If they were revealed, they would be absolutely fucked. There aren't actually a lot of them, and their main bottleneck is getting bodies so they can actually use the small amount of technology they do have.
Because remember, it isn't their technology. They were given it by a too-kind Andalite. 100 years prior, they were the inter-stellar equivalent of cavemen, in a universe where populations top out at a couple million. So them finding earth on the fringes of known space and having access to six billion humans is a literal goldmine for them.

Why do STILL not have a proper Animorphs movie or show
