Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Much like Richard Adams's wonderful novel, this animated tale of wandering rabbits is not meant for small children. It is, however, rich storytelling, populated with very real individuals inhabiting a very real world. The animation is problematic, sometimes appearing out of proportion or just subpar; but it seems to stem from an attempt at realism, something distinguishing the film's characters from previous, cutesy, animated animals. A band of rabbits illegally leave their warren after a prophecy of doom from a runt named Fiver (Richard Briers). In search of a place safe from humans and predators, they face all kinds of dangers, including a warren that has made a sick bargain with humankind, and a warren that is basically a fascist state. Allegories aside, Down is engaging and satisfying, and pulls off the same amazing trick that the novel did--you'll forget that this is a story about rabbits. --Keith Simanton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Watership Down Changed My LifeThis book works on every metaphorical level. It is a masterpiece for anyone to have written. Rating:  - Doesn't compare to the bookI forgot that I watched this long ago when I recently purchased the DVD--watched it again last night. The intro almost had me turning the thing off--happily the animation improved once the "legend" was all through. My problems with this film--it barely skims the surface of the depth of story found in the book. We never see how Hazel and Bigwig at the start are at odds re. who should be chief rabbit.

I'm hoping for English subtitles.. anyone know? Rating: - Wonderful Animated AdventureThis is a wonderful animated adventure. An inspiring story of danger and escape backed up with great character voices plus wonderful artwork not seen in current animated movies. Though this movie might not be meant for the 7 and under kids it is a must see for those who love and miss great artistic qualities that were once a part of animated movies. Rating: - Watership DownGlad to see this classic re-issued with additional interviews and extras. This is as true to the book as it gets. A very entertaining and well executed animated work. It is as good in 2008 as it was when released in 1978. Highly recommended for children & adults alike. Watch this with your kids, you'll love it. Browse for similar items by category:
