All the world will be your enemy ….. and when they catch you, they will kill you.
“One of the greatest non-Disney animated features ever made” - Leonard Maltin.
A timeless classic comes alive in this enchanting movie based on the worldwide best-selling novel by Richard Adams. A delightful film for audiences of all ages.
Nestled among the rolling hills and peaceful meadows of England lives a community of rabbits. When their warren is threatened, a small group of brave rabbits escapes into the unknown countryside in search of a new home. Led by the visionary Fiver, the courageous Bigwig, the clever Blackberry, and the honourable Hazel, they face daunting challenges, and use their strength and cunning to survive, while pursuing their dream.
Director Martin Rosen frames the tale largely at the expense of the rabbits, so that we identify with each one. Packed with excitement and adventure, Watership Down is an engaging, thrilling tale that celebrates traditional values of loyalty, courage, and spirit. Deeply moving in a way that no other animated film has ever managed.
This 25th Anniversary Edition is packed with extras, such as Audio Commentary with Director Martin Rosen, Extensive 'In-Production' Stills Gallery, Double Sided Sleeve and 'The Real Watership Down'.
I watched this movie at school as a child and it just captavated me.I always thought animals had their own secrets and this just proved it to me. As an adult it has messages about considerating others and standing up for what you believe in.
