Watership down 


Director: Martin Rosen

Year: 1978

The film received a G or U rating upon release, meaning that it was viewable for all ages. As of 2012, the BBC has received complaints about the films U ratings every year since its release.

While the film looks nice and is well voice acted, the film's story feels very cookie cutter. There was never a point where I couldn't guess where the film was going next.

The story's main themes seems to be among the power of faith, cunning and a group.

By today's standards the film is still not suitable for children

I would personal not recommend the film. Outside of the 3 mains characters I had no clue who was who and beside the gore there is nothing really interesting about the story or animation.

The BBC is remaking the film into a four part mini series, however I do not feel that this is a good idea. The story simply does not have a episodic feel to it and I don't think that any adaption would make the story interesting.
