Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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 Simanton

Rating:  - Great book, good movie
If you loved the book, you will love the movie. If you've never read the book, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Rabbits?!! you say. Yes, rabbits - but we are not talking Disney bunnies, here, or Warner Brothers wabbits, either. These rabbits are people, with a rich and carefully thought-out culture and history and language and mythology of their own, and even in the movie they manage to weave all this rich supporting material seamlessly into the story.

Rating: - Watership Down - A Tale for the Ages
Watership Down is listed in listed in the on some sites in the Family/Children Category and in my opinion it should not be. It should be listed under Anime/Animation. This is a wonderful movie & animation was the most logical format for the story considering the setting & characters. But, I think the subject matter is far too mature for young kids to grasp. It is slow in some parts that children may find boring & even I was disturbed by some of the violence portrayed in the film. It's ... Read More
Rating: - slow shipping, great product!
It took a month to get the movie, but it was listed in 'used' condition. It really looks like brand new! Very happy with my purchase, would def. deal with this seller again!
Rating: - Review Watership Down
Classic adult animated film in the vein of George Orwell's Animal Farm or even Snow White. A must see for adults who enjoy real animated films and not fluff. Teens are okay.. I wouldn't recommend it for small children.
Rating: - Hard to track down, fun to watch
This was one of my favorite movies when I was very young. It was very hard to track down a copy, but well worth it. This tape was in great condition and was just as much fun to watch for all the memories it brought back!
