Watership Down

[BigBlue86]

How many of you remember the animated movie Watership Down? I just bought it on DVD, and I haven't seen it in years. I forgot how great it was.

Did anyone read the book? If so, how does the movie compare to it?

I dig rabbits. Didnt read the book, but I recall liking the movie when it was 1st shown on HBO.

Totally awesome movie!! It's sooo much better when you see it as an adult. Really really good. There is actually an animated series that breaks the movie down into 30 minute segments. Kinda like a mini-series. It S U C KS!!! They've made it much less vilent and much more cute and cuddly. Avoid the TV series.
THis is one of the few movies that people say is actually BETTER than the book, although I've never read it. That's just what I've heard.
Damn...I'm gonna run out and rent that right now. Thanx.

Watership Down is a wonderful book. It comes across entirely differently than the movie.

[HordeKing1]

I wasn't aware that there was a movie.

The book was wonderful.

I didn't know about the movie,
but the book is fantastic. It is
written in the language of the
rabbits "Lapine", with the
complete dictionary in the back.
So you too can learn to speak
Lapine.

the movie came out in the late 70's.
it is a must see.
