Summary: Watership Down
Review: This is my four year-old daughter's favorite video. It is a great story that is probably over her head in many ways. Still we talk about it and the characters very frequently.

Summary: Magnificent
Review: This extraordinary movie fascinates the watchers. If you already read the book, you should watch the movie and see how the rabbits react to danger instead of picturing it in your mind. This fun-filled movie has less detail than the book itself.

Summary: Read the book first!!!
Review: If you haven't read the book, don't watch the movie!I really did enjoy the movie as it brought the characters in the book to life, but as I watched the movie for the first time, I started thinking that this movie would be a tad bit confusing if you didn't read the book. Of course, that's just me, so I may be wrong. Every piece of music in this film is absolutely beautiful! If I had easy access to getting the soundtrack, I'd get it for sure! Over all, I'll have to say it wasn't the greatest animated film I've seen, but a must have if you read the book. And as always the book was MUCH better than the movie.

Summary: My honest opinion of this travesty
Review: This film is upsetting to adults and children alike. I can remember watching this many years ago and being quite disturbed by its violent nature and apparent assumption by the creators that watching good-natured rabbits being savaged to death by the 'general' was somehow character-building for small children. Whoever decided to create this abomination must have had very few friends at school and probably was mocked frequently by his peers as a consequence of his obvious inability to distinguish between right and wrong. In short, this film is not suitable for children of any species, let alone those fluent in the English language and able to understand the nauseating lyrics of the rhythmless soundtrack.

Summary: who cares for bunnies?
Review: This animation was released in the early eighties, and stands to be a classic for ages. The movie has a very strong storyline, and can be appreciated by adults. The animation is pretty good. Todays standard could see the animation as a little more to be desired. But don't worrry, this story will keep you in suspence. You care so much for the characters that the ending will get you choked up. At that point you have to remond yourself, they're just bunnies drawn by people, and you shouldn't care soo much for a animated bunny.

Summary: A good watch.
Review: This isn't a classic, this isn't then end all and say all of movies. It IS a fine adpation of an even better novel. The plot of a group of rabbits seeking a better life brings to mind the very funny CHICKEN RUN but is not of course played for laughs. (Some few are provided by Zero Mostel as Keharr in his final film role.) The slight difference in plot (the only doe of the group killed during the trip in the movie VS no does at all.) add to the film. Good performances all around that the animation is well drawn, (although the firth scenes aren't my style.) A good companion to the novel and a clean and thoughtful movie for the kiddies

Summary: Watership Down
Review: Absolute perfection. Tremendous vocal talent, brilliant animation, tasteful musical score. A gripping, funny, charming, and intelligent story. The best animated adult fantasy film ever produced. After seeing this film, you'll never look at rabbits in the same way ever again.

Summary: FOR children
Review: This movie has been my special favorite since I was probably 5 or 6 years old. It is a wonderful and powerful movie. Of course there is some violence in it, but it's unfair to portray it as a brainless bloodbath. Maybe the popular candypuff alternatives don't have blood in them, but they've got plenty of sexual innuendo as well as sexist and racist stereotyping instead. I am so glad that I grew up watching movies like this with meaningful stories instead of the overhyped, grossly commercialized, dumbed-down children's entertainment that seems so popular now.

Summary: Epic tale of relocation and war (mature children only)...
Review: Very magical journey of a small group of rabbits as they seek a new home and the wars they fight to find eventual peace... All told through the small eyes of the hares themselves, complete with their own language. There are very few films that I hold so dear to myself as this one. Those being The Last Unicorn, and The Dark Crystal. All three of these films deal with subduing good and beautiful and taming it, rather than living with it peacefully. Watership Down is based on the amazing book by Richard Adams, which was a bestseller for many, many, years. Which has the most extensive use of footnotes and new vocabulary as I have never before or since seen. This movie was still so fresh in my mind that almost a decade after seeing it, I checked out and read the book (to the delight of my seventh grade reading teacher) - which is really quite huge (~400 something pages of very fine print). The movie follows the book, but changes a lot of small things, and some not so small things... it is also fairly violent, and I wouldn't recommend it for very small children, although I personally saw it when I was very young.

Summary: Great, but not for small kids
Review: I saw this movie first when I was 6 and it really scared me then. Now it dosn't bother me anymore though. the songs are wondelful, the animation is good and the story is also great. But I don't recomend it for small kids, because there are some pretty scary parts.
