Watership Down
Description
There was a young rabbit called Viper carrying a prophetic vision confirming the end of his own mooring. The rabbit then tries to persuade seven other rabbits to leave with him in search of a new home. Maybe along the way rabbits will face many obstacles to their progress, including predators and a cemetery full of mice and others. After the passage of time and reaching their final destination, Watership Down, they find themselves far from the end.

A beautifully realised animation, Watership Down ultimately works because it doesn't dilute the violence and drama of Adams' book with a rose-tinted lens.
February 26, 2015
A rather faithful adaptation of [Richard] Adams' book, as well as a milestone work of independent animation.
January 26, 2006
The 'camera' takes a conventionally objective viewpoint, perpetually rolling over rolling countryside, which effectively robs the plot of all its terror and tension.
September 03, 2008
Expertly and realistically animated, this version of the popular novel didn't seem to have an audience.
September 28, 2015
The movie is the antithesis of the modern standard, plodding and patient, unbothered by flashy bright images or relentless comical interludes.
March 04, 2015
The animation style veers between poetic and prosaic.
September 04, 2008
A rare movie that keeps kids on the edge of their chairs without inducing in their parents an overwhelming desire to escape theirs for a smoke in the lobby.
February 23, 2015
It's a work deeply enamored with its source material, and determined to do right by it, even if it means frightening kids, baffling parents, and embracing whatever style works.
March 27, 2015
Although this is an animated film featuring cute rabbits as the main characters, this is far from a children's movie, and considering the violence and horror to be found in this film, it is rather surprising that the MPAA passed it with a PG rating.

...lovely to look at and fun to listen to, but dull and lethargic in spots, too, and sometimes brutally savage.
September 03, 2008
A brief spark of imagination survives in a prologue sequence, designed by the great John Hubley before he was fired from the film. The rest is blandness.
March 05, 2015
The film's careful balance of humanizing the rabbits while also recognizing the realities of their inherent nature (which is more territorial and combative than cute and cuddly) gives its conflict a particularly sharp edge
