Beautiful but haunting...

ByTaylor9015on March 15, 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This is one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME!! Now it could be said by some that there are mildly violent or disturbing scenes. It actually does come across as "Rabbit War" at the end, but the rabbits are fighting for their home and their freedom. Many of man's human plights, such as oppression, over population, and military tyranny are portrayed in the lives of the rabbits. You could have just as easily replaced them with real people and you'd still have a good "story". But against all odds where death and violence are an everyday part of the circle of life, hope prevails! The rabbits have such a strong spirit you just can't help but root for them as they seek their new home, high on a hill.

The scenery/animation is beautiful and reminds me of a picture of the English countryside done in watercolors similar to the world of Peter Rabbit, by Beatrix Potter. The music is both soothing and haunting at the same time. Art Garfunkel's "Bright Eyes" makes me cry. I have been watching this movie for over 20 years. Even my kids, who are both now grown, grew up on this beautiful classic, and it is for my daughter that I am purchasing this copy.

I suggest reading the book.

ByBig Mama 2016on June 12, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Very true to the book. However, seeing this story depicted versus reading it is quite different. I remember having nightmares as a child after watching this movie. There is a much deeper understanding achieved through reading the book than there could ever be by just watching the movie.

Animated movie for adults, not kids.

ByJulie Annon September 14, 2015

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

If you have not read the book, this is NOT a Disney movie. This is definitely a movie for adults. It has themes of social order, personal responsibility, socialism and religion a la "1984", but it is set in the world of animals, so I can see why it was made as an animated movie. It has always been a favorite, but please don't mistake the cartoon~ish cover for a child's movie. There is graphic violence (fighting, blood, killings, death), sex (not seen, but implied as rewards for the privileged few), Big Brother-type punishments (public humiliation) and other social commentary that would be inappropriate fro those under age 14-15 or so (IMO).

Bigwig rocks...

ByJimmy Mitchellon August 20, 2012

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Watership Down is a great movie.
It gives many facets of what an adult, nature fiction book-gone cartoon movie should be.

The fact that it is animated makes it even better.
Voice acting here is one of it's best qualities, they did a fine job...
even Zero Mostel is present!
The musical score is damn good and the song "Bright Eyes" by Garfunkel is included.
(awesome song)

Lighting and color can slightly falter here & there, but all-around it's a homerun out of the warren in my humble opinion.

The writing and script for it is probably it's best feature, and hats off to Martin Rosen for his best work ever.

This movie gives you many situations, decicisions and effects of the life of an intelligent, fictional lapine group.

It's definitely a 5* work in this reviewer's opinion.

Well done but pricy

ByFiore Vitolaon February 1, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Very well done but pricy, I had seen this animation quite some time ago when it was televised in our area as a series. My children watched it with me and really didn't understand the political undertones of the movie. I like watching it again, but felt it was very pricey and actually wouldn't say it's worth that much to watch....it's really not a young persons movie.

did not realize that it would not play on my american dvd player

Bylbon January 3, 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I guess it was my stupidity or the excitement I felt for having finding this classic animated movie from my childhood, that I failed to realize this is an imported dvd and will not play on my American dvd formatted players. I have NEVER heard of such a thing. I thought a dvd was a dvd. So if you are from the USA DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION OF THE DVD. IT WILL NOT WORK ON YOUR PLAYER. Now I am out of some money but good thing it wasn't that much or I would be mega mad. I am not about to pay for shipping back to Iceland or wherever this disc came from because it would be double the price to send it back. Be careful what format the dvd you are ordering in because the must be using BETA DVD players in Europe WTF????
