Watership Down is one of my favourite films of all time. I first watched it when I was poorly as a child and had a bunch of videos to keep me amused and when I was a kid I loved rabbits (OK I admit I STILL love rabbits). I loved the beatiful animation and thought provoking story that possibly for me was my first introduction to serious topics like death.

With a wonderful music score and great vocal perfomances I am still glued to the television anytime it's on (plus I now have it on DVD). I think it's a great adaptation of the book and doesn't have that Disney glaze that hides kids away from realities. It's a film I will watch with my nieces and hope that they grow to love the simple storytelling wonder that is the film.

Best Film Ever! This is one of the best films I ever saw!
I grew up on this. Loved Fiver, Pipkin and Bigwig and all the rest plus it made me who I am now witch is someone who cares for animals.

However, it seems that you are never too young to learn one of life's most ancient facts; the fact that there will always be a battle, in one form or another, between good and evil.

It is this very battle which is central to the film's plot. Based on Richard Adam's acclaimed novel, a group of rabbits have no c ...
