Yeah... thanks for bringing that up. Watership Down 1978, for those curious.

This movie is goddamn awesome.

It managed to capture the serenity, the adorableness and the utterly uncompromising brutality of the characters as they were originally portrayed in the book.

People should watch this movie. It teaches so many valuable lessons.

As a Gator dad myself, and one who has done this to his kid a couple of times, I was feeling very empathetic for the Gator dad, until I zoomed in.

NOBODY forgets how traumatizing Watership Down was. That’s… that’s not a thing.

I very much remember why those were traumatic

I was told this was a better, darker Secret of Nyhm. It so was not. Nyhm was actually good.

Honestly the book was pretty good.

Really captured my childhood imagination... I've actually never watched this movie myself. I do recommend the book however

I saw NIMH first and read Watership first, so maybe that's why I prefer the NIMH movie and Watership book, but I don't remember the film being bad. There was also a CGI one made a few years ago that was pretty good, although the graphics aren't great-- feels a little low-budgety.

Assumed Nyhm until I saw the gore gif in thread
