All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies. And whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first, they must catch you, digger, listener, runner. Prince with a swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.
I loved rabbits when I was younger. We had a dvd player for long car journeys. My mother thought "I'll get him this rabbit film, it's rated U". Worst car ride ever
I think it was the wild, semi-coherent ramblings of the somewhat demented rabbit sidekick that I found most unsettling as a child. "THERE'S A DOG! LOOSE! IN THE WOODS!"
Me too! That moment, the psycho bunny jumping to attack and the bunnies being buried alive are burned in my mind. But the delirious ramblings were the worst

Genuinely great movie and book. I didn’t love the newest one as much despite some good voice talent.

Watership Down was rated a U until 2023 when they upped it to a PG

That's the bunny from the "Holy Grail" (Monty Python). Damn... I thought he was a good actor and now I see he's just type cast.

After living with a pet rabbit I now know that that is just how rabbits are. Full of terror and destruction

They are a fearsome lot and have vaguely evil intentions. Perhaps it's the hopping that agitates them so.

I've only ever read the book
Parents should definitely pay more attention to what media their kids are consuming

Watership Down.
Bright Eyes, shining like fire.... Art Garfunkel will now be in your head for the rest of the day 😂

It's not straight up horror, but it is a movie for adults with hard scenes about fascism, death and madness.

Actually the author originally came up with the story to entertain his kids on long car journeys. So it is in a very real sense a childrens story.

Almost everyone terrorized by this film got suckered in the same way. “Oh look, a cure bunny cartoon…”
Murder and suffocation terrors follow.
Edit: TIL Watership Down is a real place
