Watership Down
The timeless animation classic based on the best-selling novel by Richard
Adams. Nestled among the peaceful meadows of country England lives an idyllic
community of rabbits. When warned that their warren will be destroyed, a small
group escapes into the unknown countryside in search of a new home.
Led by the visionary Fiver, the courageous Bigwig, the clever Blackberry, and
the honorable Hazel, the rabbits face daunting challenges as they struggle to
pursue their dream, battling the vicious General Woundwort, the cruel leader of
another warren, but also making an unlikely friend – a batty seagull named
Kehaar.
Critic Reviews:
- " A beautifully realized animation, Watership Down ultimately works
because it doesn't dilute the violence and drama of Adams' book with a
rose-tinted lens. " – Richard Luck
- " Cuts so deep on so many ethereal levels that you can flip to nearly
any page in the history book and see a parallel. " – Phil
Villarreal
- " A rather faithful adaptation of [Richard] Adams' book, as well as a
milestone work of independent animation. " – Austin
Trunick
