DVD Reviews of Watership Down
DVD Review: excellent film but not for kids
Summary: 4 Stars
Watership Down is an excellent story based off a best selling book. This does have some graffic scenes of suffering so your small children could get nightmares from watching this movie. The meaning in this movie is geared toward adults not children.DVD Review: Watership Down (Deluxe Edition)
Summary: 4 Stars
Watership Down is one of my favorite books, and the video is, for the most part, true to the book. The production information and interviews were very intersting and informative. Since the story contains several scenes of bloody battles between the rabbits, I don't think it would be suitable for very young children, but other than that, I would recommend it.DVD Review: Wonderfully Done, With a Great Ending for an Old Man Like Me
Summary: 5 Stars
First, as an old man myself, with an ever-increasing clan, I love the ending. I bought the movie mainly to be able to see the ending whenever I needed it.
The interviews included about the making of the film are quite interesting, too.
Lastly, what is NOT clear (not even on the Warner Home Video website) is that this is wide-screen, evidently just like in the theater (or should I say, theatre). I.e., the aspect ratio is NOT 1.33:1 as described above.
DVD Review: HORRIBLE!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
My mom rented this movie for me when I was about 7 or 8 years old. She didn't know anything about Watership Down. She had never read the book or watched the the movie. I have always liked bunnies, so I guess she thought it would be a good movie for me. Cute fuzzy bunnies... what could be wrong? So she sat me in front of it and went to do chores or something.
I was mortified by what I saw. Bloody grisly gory. Rabbits scratching and clawing one another, ripping each other to shreds. Every last disgusting detail is shown. The scene that I remember most vividly is Bigwig caught in a snare, blood streaming out of this neck and mouth. I cried and cried. Eventually I turned it off. I have always had bad memories of it. Finally, at 19, I got enough courage to watch it again, hoping I would find it better than what I remembered. Wrong. 11 years later I still find it as ugly and repulsive as ever. Quite frankly, it is disgusting. I hate the grisliness of it all. I hate the blood and the shooting, mauling, scratching, clawing and dying. I do not consider myself a squeamish person, but this is nasty. It should of been rated R. Don't put yourself through the torture of watching this. You'll do yourself a favor.
DVD Review: Awesome Movie - classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I can watch this over and over and nver get tired of it. The drawings area awesome and the detail is incredible. The story line just puts it over the top.
Description of Watership Down
Much like Richard Adams's wonderful novel, this animated tale of wandering rabbits is not meant for small children. It is, however, rich storytelling, populated with very real individuals inhabiting a very real world. The animation is problematic, sometimes appearing out of proportion or just subpar; but it seems to stem from an attempt at realism, something distinguishing the film's characters from previous, cutesy, animated animals. A band of rabbits illegally leave their warren after a prophecy of doom from a runt named Fiver (Richard Briers). In search of a place safe from humans and predators, they face all kinds of dangers, including a warren that has made a sick bargain with humankind, and a warren that is basically a fascist state. Allegories aside, Down is engaging and satisfying, and pulls off the same amazing trick that the novel did--you'll forget that this is a story about rabbits. --Keith SimantonFeature Films DVDs
