Watership Down

[17thCenturySorcerer]

Let's talk about the book, movie, and the series. Favorite moments, favorite episodes, favorite scenes from the movie, favorite characters. FYI: the movie came out in 1978, and the TV Series in 1999-2001 and is mostly known in England were the author, Richard Adams, came from.

In the first two seasons my top five were Fiver, Pipkin, Bigwig, Hazel, and Woundwort. However, in the third season my top five was, Fiver, Silverweed, Strawberry, Hana, and Campion.

Okay, but your signature is huge and obnoxious.

Watership Down was really fun to read. Only seen the film once, though. Apparently a lot of people saw/read this as children? Jesus. I first read it when I was like 17.

I love the film, have it on DVD, I liked the series, and after I have read the last few Harry Potter books, I am going to read the book.

[Metroid]

I really need to read that, last thing i can say i have read (in the line of a novel) was at least 2 years ago haha

I remember there were a lot of Watership Down jokes aimed at that annoying animated Christmas commerical in the UK last year which had similar animation but was too wishy-washy and nice, people suggested it ought to play with footage of the Rabbits tearing into each other

Great film, was'nt so keen on the series when it aired.

I remember watching it a few years back, the song by Art Garfunkel is what I remember most about it. Haven't looked into the series yet.

I read the book, watched the movie and the series but missed most of the episodes of the final series. Steven Gately (RIP ) from Boyzone sang Bright Eyes for the Series and did the voice for one of the rabbits.

Thank you everybody for your comments on my signature. I changed it so only the gif is shown.

[17thCenturySorcerer]

Sorry for the signature change. I just found this one and was like, awwwwwww yeah! This will be the last signature change for a bit.

Saw both the book and the movie. I quite like both, although it is sad that one wouldn't be able to get away with that level of violence today in a US children's movie, even if it is realistic for rabbits.

And I always thought the bad guys were awesome, especially the main baddy. He looked so evil.

[ObiWanFan4life]

The Plague Dogs (another Richard Adams book) is very similar., and it makes this movie look tame by comparison.

[Metalwolf]

I read that too, although I didn't see the movie. I think they gave the movie a more grim ending then the book, if I'm remembering correctly.

[Wildcat]

I've never heard of this so that's why I clicked it but on that side note about sigs...a lot of people's sigs are too big here. You know who you are.

Its a signature not a billboard.

[17thCenturySorcerer]

Oh god I remember watching Plague Dogs a couple months back. The ending was so sad!

[Roseangelo]

Watership Down is my favorite book. I have an animation cell from the movie signed by Martin Rosen hanging on my wall that I quite treasure.

[Slade]

Never heard of it.

[arkangel]

Never read the book, but saw the original movie when it first came out and haven't seen it since. Just vague memories of trauma as I was obviously too young to be watching it. Then again the original Lion,Witch and the Wardrobe gave me nightmares back then.
My parents really should have kept a better eye on my entertainment as a kid.

Sounds awesome, can we see a pic

This movie is way too violent for young children,but that is what I loved about it, it felt real and I connected to it so much more. Bigwig at the end was nothing short of heroic.
