The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I recall this damaging show/film airing on TV when I was around.. 6 or 7. I can think of no show in memory that I view more inappropriate for kids just based on my subjective personal experience with it at that age.Not putting this point first and foremost into perspective and the review here would miss most important point, as many have done but certainly not all. It might have been well acted and done for the time - fair. It was also terribly wrong to wrap a bunny story and sell it to unsuspecting kids - putting it in front of kids before they had the capacity to deal with the subject matter. This mistake was fail on the part of ABC and the regulators who had this responsibility at that time. Shame on them.Otherwise, I'm sure it's fine. Lots of Anime would better it, but to give it credit it did leave a hallow feeling which i think it was looking to create.Thx! :)

As an adult, I think showing this to children would scare them and of course would upset them. I'm very much an animal lover myself and all I have think of when watching this movie, was always the fear for the rabbits sake like. I know it's a cartoon but it does show you what it's like in the bunny rabbit world.You honestly wouldn't think a gorgeous cartoon like this would be so violent! The reason why I watched this movie, was only because it was seen on Danny Darko. I'm just glad that it was never mentioned or that I saw it from my childhood. Honestly it could probably haunt me and give me nightmares every night. I would consider this a really sad and dark movie, I actually am trying not to have tears on my eyes after watching this. It's probably best not for animal lovers to see this!

I placed this film in my top 10 because of my pure love for this film and my pure love for cavy's and rabbits. However, one may think that is narrow minded to rate a film based purely on external matters, but this film is legitimately good in my views. Some people may find it too slow and I agree that some parts tend to drag, but it is countered by its strong attack on war and social themes. The metaphors may be too much for kids to understand, but this film really isn't to be experienced by kids. Yes, it's nice on the outside, but the gritty inside is what adults will love about this film. Overall, Watership Down provides a deeply depressing and emotional ride which will leave a tear in your eyes and a beautiful re-imagining of rabbits and animals in the process.

I watched about 1/2 of this movie and it horrified me for about four months. I just was scared for life watching this awful movie. Although yes the movie has a great concept to it, but you can get your opinion across without seeing a field turn to blood or watching as a dog horrifically rips a rabbits throat open or watch as a rabbit gets choked to death and has blood spilling from his neck and mouth. If you have young children I do not recommend watching it. As a child I scared me. So if you don't want your child worrying about being buried alive. Do not get fooled buy the rating "G" I would probably rate it "PG-13". Beware.
