This is such a good film its a shame all it is famous for is its 'excessive gore' which isn't really that bad at all. All because its animated.

I think i was 8 when i first watch Watership Down, I might be 48 now, i still love this film.

WE WATCHED THIS IN 6TH GRADE

I had a stepfather named steve but yesterday my mom divorced him

I kept having an image in my head of a bloody rabbit tied to the ground and I couldn't understand why. So I searched everywhere and finally came across the movie... everything came back to me every scene I cannot believe I was allowed to watch this when I was younger.

Rewatching this review while waiting for the book to arrive

The Thumbnail though 😂

"and...oh" I watched this movie when I was 8.....I was so sad...im from the uk (England) and I regret, but also not seeing it. yes I have this movie on DVD.

Watercolor backgrounds with soft instrumentals make me anxious......I have PTSD from 80's children movies😂😂

The BBC ratings video have me so much nostalgia

Wait, i just realised. Your surname is Simpson? You're just wholesome, i can't.

I couldn't sleep anyways

I’m here because I thought it was a kid friendly film when it wasn’t

Rabbit kills other rabbit No one: rated E for everyone

I saw this as an adult and in film school and I was still traumatized. It’s a good film but shocking if you don’t expect it.

I grew up with this movie, and didn't read the book until I was 16. If you think the movie is dark, strap in, because there's so much other stuff the movie doesn't even touch on, and way more detail about all the stuff it does. The warren of the snares in particular is a head trip.

in the Netherlands at the time of my 10 years of age video rentals often had this video among the Disney and other animated kids stuff so I saw this movie way too soon and well, I still watched it to my heart's delight! as I'm pretty much a lifelong fan and I have the first edition VHS release in the same frame as the first lp soundtrack vinyl release and the art Garfunkel 45 rpm single of bright eyes I still think the movie version of the song is way better.

I had this movie when I was very young, its safe to say that it very much scared me.

The u rating advert brings back memories xxx

Bro, my grandmother put me to watch this when I was visiting her - at the time I watched it, I was 4😳

Never saw this film, but I hear...things about it.

4:03 oh my god... I feel like I've been back-handed from the nostalgia

The original 1878 version is much better than the 2018 remake i

i had a dream about water ship down but instead of bunnies we were geese and i had to chop captain americas arm off

Why is ur face always sad or mad

That's weird. In America, it was rated PG. How'd you guys get away with a “fit for all ages?" Then again, the rating system for many countries was a lot different back in 1978.

My favorite film of all time. Showed it to my grandchildren over Thanksgiving.

this is more g rated than disney

I guess you never got around to watching the Canadian-British TV series from the 90s.

I watched this movie after seeing much of the less violent TV adaptation. The difference between what's on this film and what's in the TV series is huge.

I wish fiver from water ship down was a real character

I've been watching the original since I was 1....

My parents let me watch this when I was like 5 thinking oh bunnies Still traumatized still can't watch it But on the bright side I can now watch any and every horror movie without flinching

I used to watch this in kindergarten it was my favorite movies I watched it 100 times and I never was disturbed by it until I was in my late teens... I was a fucked up kid still am

This film does look pretty and the story is pretty good.

He be looking like Gordon Ramsay

Steve Simpson Hi there!

I have watched and rewatched this film since 1978 to today and it's wonderfully poetic, and real in a surreal way. Nature, red in tooth and claw. but Americans are probably not emotionally mature enough for it

nothing unsuitable for children...

I found this video in the children's section of family video once.

I watched it when I was like 5-7 still traumatized

Quite honestly far more horrifying than any horror film I have ever watched

"Nothing unsuitible for children". Has a kill count higher then the Child's Play. Seriously, did they just look at this and think just because it's animated its for kids.

*Mummy why is that rabbit leaking ketchup?*

I think the film portrayed ww1

They never actually watched it when they rated it. Just saw the animation and assumed it was fine

Watched this when I was a kid, thinking it was a kid movie. I had nightmares and cried so much afterwards.

Honestly piss off is not that bad

When the bird I guess says "Piss off" I hear "Buzz off"

Steve: How this film ever got a "U" rating, I will never know. Me: At least the MPAA was one step ahead of the BBFC.

Do you see sex? No Sorry to say but Kids wasn't pussys when this was released.. it does have blood and adult themes but so does life? I would rather have my child learn about nature/life and death from this movie then any dumbed down attempt these days... cant even think of one cartoon like this to teach kids about death.. honestly cant even think of one new show/movie

Nobody saying he’s called Simpson?

The thing is, this movie wasn't even intended for kids

Want another good children wrong rated children moive wacth return to oz.

I seen this movie as a kid thanks to move channel giving a few months free.

If children are allowed eat corpses, then why not watch violence? Humans are weird.

You playing that Film Classification clip gave me vivid flashbacks. I recited it word for word. What is this Dark Magic.

I watched it when i was young, it didn't scare me it was more sad for me as a lad living in rural england.

I think its suitable for children, my dad watched it when he was young and he said that it made up a large part of the man he is today.

HOW DID YOU GET ADS

Did anyone Know that Watership Down Author Richard Adams Passed away in 2016? RIP 1920-2016

On what planet was this made for kids

How could this be made for kids

memories!!

Yep. I remember watching this as a child. Gave me a recurring nightmare about a bloody rabbit corpse chasing me around the house.

Which when 4 not fasd

YOU NEED MEAT

P I S S O F F This is the best quote of all time

This aired on Canadian TV as a miniseries with a 14+ rating IIRC

Ever since I was a child me and my sister have been avoiding this movie like the plague I'm 42 now

Me:nature is bad

I can confirm rabbits are like this in real life.

This movie scared the shit outta me when I was a kid. Never looked at bunnies the same.

His avatar kinda looks like Gordon Ramsay

Can't remember watching it... But my sisters did.

I remember watching pieces of this when I was younger. That scared me to hell. Gave me nightmares. Seeing this now disturbs me but doesn't scare me.

I had to read the book in like 7th grade and yeah I'm a little bit traumatized by it considering it was suggested for a book report at the time. I'm older, and I can appreciate the story now, but damn what is it with people marketing this sort of thing for children?

Ha ha I grew up with allot of these films you review. I don't think today's audience could handle these types of films.

At least it was rated PG in America (Parental Guidance).

"I knew your Mother well...." /-THAT is a truly British insult!

Did they increase the death count from the book?

Some Cartoons had a dark side

Bruh i watched this when I was like 5 it was literally my favorite movie I never realised how messed up some bits are

Ahh watership down...LOTR of the animal kingdom.

Yup my dad rented this for me on vhs when I was about 5 thinking it was harmless.

The bit I found creepy wasn’t the fighting so much but the beginning with the blood fiver was seeing and the rabbits heads all being buried together going zombie like ,god 🥺

4:50 When Holly says 'the air turned bad' I think the implication is that the poor buggers are being gassed.

You look like Gordon Ramsay when he's served something raw

Ah the movie of my childhood, no joke I owned this on video and frankly the violent stuff never actually bothered me

I heard "back off" 5:20

Both heartbreaking and heart warming, while being rather strongly true to life. The song, Bright Eyes, still makes me mourn and cry like a child.

bu nasıl bi çizgi film lanet olsun sizlere

Didnt the seagull say back off?

I watched this as a 5 year old-

You should review Plague Dogs it's made by the same people Watership Down

Can you please review don't hug me I'm scared 😬

The SCP Foundation classifies this anomaly as a cognitohazard that defies all attempts to censor it. This extends from attempts to give it a mature rating, all the way to attempts by the Foundation to contain it. While the movie itself cannot be censored, the cognitohazardous element of it can. This is achieved by simply not searching for fanfiction or [REDACTED] of the film's characters. Not even Doctor Clef is immune. The exact effects of the cognitohazard are [REDACTED BY THE O5 COUNCIL].

Everyone is such pussies nowadays.

Idk maybe children were harden back then.
