	Rabbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rabbits are distinguished from the related hares in that they are altricial, having young that are born blind and hairless; many also live underground in burrows.
		Rabbits are also well-known for their advanced breeding rate, another factor which differentiates them from hares; in theory, a doe can produce from two to eight live young per month, during the first half of the year, although a more common rate is half that.
		Rabbits are an example of an animal which is treated as food, pet and pest by the same culture.

		Rabbits eyes’ are the focus of a great deal of medical experiments as well, such as those which test vision or study diseases of the eye.
		Rabbits also have very sensitive skin, which unfortunately makes them prime candidates for another test used to test household chemicals and cosmetics, the skin irritancy test, in which rabbits’ fur is shaved and caustic chemicals are poured directly onto their bare skin, leading to bleeding, infections, ulcerations, and tremendous pain.
		And because rabbits are such prolific breeders (a characteristic that led many ancient peoples to worship them as fertility symbols), not only do they produce a high rate of offspring, to easily replace those whose lives were cut short by these cruel experiments, but they are often used in fertility studies as well.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, WATERSHIP DOWN (1978)
		Other aspects of rabbit culture are also included, such as a brief prayer spoken at the falling of a comrade, or rabbits' superstitious nature.
		During their flight from their original warren, one of the incidents the rabbits face does indeed turn out to be a plot device but one that's cleverly concealed among a group of other incidents that are not.
		Also, running rabbits sometimes don't seem to run as fluidly or naturally as we might expect, an effect which is made more evident when we see a number of rabbits in flight.

		The owners aren't necessarily mistreating the rabbits, but they are not trained properly to care for the new pets and are not aware of the full commitment, Monaco said.
		Rabbit owners are often unaware of how to properly handle the pet or even what to feed it.

		In the context of the book, this adventure helps the primary group of rabbits to reaffirm their loyalties and shows them how important it is for them to keep going until they find the perfect place to settle, but in the film it simply feels like it is there to make up the running time.
		Rabbit words glossary - An invaluable source of information for those who have not read the book, this section gives explanations for all the unusual words the rabbits in the film use.
		The film, due to length, also misses out so many character scenes (it has the rats, but that was just a brief action fix) and lacks the 'epic' feel the LP reading gives it.

		This is a tale of Rabbits seeking a safe new home, we follow their journey in heart wrenching detail, filled with danger and great sadness, there are some lighter moments that gives the viewer some emotional relief, but ultimately you are left feeling for these wonderful characters.
		The small rabbit Fiver, who has unexplained powers to foresee the future, urges a group of fellow rabbits in his "warren" to leave before their land is destroyed by some destructive force.
		The film tends to be in dark lighting in general, and some of the scenes appear to have been drawn by amateurs.

		For five minutes, as Badalamenti's synths sigh over distant fog horns and muted thunder, we watch the rabbit people--actors in cheap rabbit suits worn under drab human clothing.
		The rabbit people play to an unseen studio audience, which greets their entrances with on-cue applause and their oblique lines with canned laughter.

		Plans were hastily altered, now CIC wanted the film to be seen everywhere, a film they, and their colleagues had expected would only appeal to the some of the 'more sophisticated types in the home counties'.
		Adams himself uses this as an example of the ways in which storytelling on film is necessarily different from that in books: "the attack by the rats on Hazel and his friends during their journey to Watership Down is only briefly touched upon and happens, as it were, off-stage.
		To have not depicted this critical moment, where the rabbits finally sort out their priorities and realise what it is that they are really searching for, would have robbed the film of its heart and all we'd have had left would be a nice, cutesy Disney-esque wholesome tale.

	Watership Down reviewed by AllZone4DVD.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In the beautiful rolling hills of an English meadow, a group of brave rabbits leave their warren in search of a better life and to escape the dangers ahead, as predicted by the terrifed Fiver (Briers).
		There was no real surround, given this film is in Stereo, but the music was excellent, and added to the atmosphere, strong string and brass, where there is danger; piano, in the subtle, quiet moments.
		Overall, it is a wonderful visual experience, however, this is not for young eyes, as the rabbit fighting scenes and animal attacks might frighten younger viewers, given the use of blood imagery.

		For example a population of rabbits (analogous to the bromine) will increase rapidly (exponentially) if there is plenty of food (reactants).
		However, the plentiful supply of rabbits will stimulate a rapid increase in the fox population (another intermediate that reacts with bromine) which will then deplete the rabbits.
		Lacking rabbits, the foxes will die, bringing us back to square one, ready for a rapid increase in rabbits and so on.

	DVD Times - Watership Down (Deluxe Edition)
		This leads the rabbits to a farm, where the owners are armed with shotguns as well as to the greater threat of Efrafa, which is ruled by the imposing, snarling General Woundwort (Harry Andrews).
		Even in the film's opening minutes as Fiver is hurried away from feeding on a shrub to a vision of blood washing over a field, Watership Down is a disturbing film that portrays the countryside from the point of view of the rabbits and, for them, it's not a pleasant place.
		This latter sequence allows the animators a chance to use their imaginations and the sight of rabbits dying and having their corpses trap and suffocate those left alive is one that remains long after the film ends.

		The three different styles - one for the main story, one for the rabbit legends in the prologue, and a third for Fiver's visions - don't always connect smoothly and are sometimes of varying quality.
		This film, one of the very first I have purchased, has some extras added, the most useful of which is an extensive commentary from director Martin Rosen that covers most aspects of the film's generation and adaptation from Richard Adams's award-winning book.
		The film cannot, in 88 minutes, give too much detail of the several alternative styles of societal organisation (described more fully in the book)that the rabbits encounter on their journey, but nothing crucial to the story is omitted.

		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).

	WATERSHIP DOWN - DVD
		Following a group of rabbits convinced that the timid Fiver (voiced by Richard Briers) has had a prophetic vision of doom for their warren, Watership Down is essentially about the search for refuge in the midst of a cruel world.
		A brilliant opening sequence by John Hubley details the creation myth of the rabbits, offering each animal on the planet a vicious gift and a taste for rabbit flesh that is protected only by a fleetness of foot and a highly developed community warning system.
		Though much can be made of the film's socio-political commentary, the Adams novel is far more fertile a source for such rumination--Rosen's film is refreshingly free of pretension and resists even the easy target of man's inhumanity to vermin.

	Night of the Lepus (1972)
		It was one of a number of films made during the 1970s influenced by the success of The Birds (1963), although in spirit it really harkens back to the giant animals films of the 1950s.
		Alas it is a film that is stuck with the wholly ludicrous notion of trying to make the concept of giant rabbits work.
		And unfortunately all that the rabbits do is look amiably inoffensive, they just don’t seem threatening despite the film’s attempts to make them seem so.

	Watership Down (1978)
		But where the film worked is in its extraordinary evocations of the world as rabbits might see it in mythic terms.
		The film throughout is filled with equally extraordinary pieces of mythic imagery - like how the appearance of a train that providentially crushes pursuing rabbits is seen as one of the mysterious messengers of Frith.
		The film works as much for its translation of Adams’s book to the screen as for its willingness to deal with emotions that are rarely seen in Disney films - one of the most overriding images in the film is that of everpresent death.

	Greg's Reviews - Gangs of New York (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		It is set in 19th century New York and chronicles the city's original gangsters, the Irish and Italian immigrants who began organizing street gangs to fight for control of the city's streets.
		Years later the son of the dead leader of the Rabbits (played by DiCaprio) matures and attempts to lead a new version of the gang to strength while trying to kill the leader of the Natives.
		I would say he also has a knack for bringing in some hi quality players for his film, not only leads but his bit characters always hold there own to the utmost.

	Beware of giant rabbits
		Just in time for Halloween, this new and embellished version of the 2001 cult film "Donnie Darko" offers 20 minutes of scenes that were cut from the original.
		The film, released at the Seattle Film Festival in May, also offers sound improvements, new songs and special effects that help explain a teen’s dark world, his theories of time travel and giant, scary rabbits.
		Writer-director Richard Kelly’s film is a social satire, a dark comedy, a science fiction time-traveling fantasy and a suburban nightmare about an extremely intelligent, depressive, self-destructive, narcoleptic, gun-toting, sex-crazed, teenaged arsonist named Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal), who might just save the world.

		The film is rather dated (1937), but overall I'd say it gives a good non-politically corrected presentation of mammalian reproduction and birth.
		In an animated drawing the reproductive organs of a female rabbit are identified and their functions explained.
		The introduction and conclusion of the film give it a broad life orientation; the central section deals with the scientific observation of life processes.

		A widely acclaimed novel by Richard Adams is the basis for this sometimes somber tale of a group of rabbits who leave their warren behind and go out in search of new digs.
		While children may find the rabbits fascinating at times, there is an uncommon amount of violence and bloodletting for an animated film.
		As a 5 year old, I remembered watching a rabbit cartoon over and over again for some reason which I can't remember, and 13 years later, I rediscovered the film title anf brought the DVD, and I was shocked to see how old it was (27 years).

		For those who like their entertainment on the transgressive side, Lewis Furey's Rats And Rabbits (based on George F. Walker's better-titled play Beyond Mozambique) is a treasure trove of the strange 'n' seedy.
		Wheel-spinning is its speciality, culminating in a big screaming match/gun fight that breathlessly reveals everything the past 60 minutes should have been leading us to wonder about.
		Performances, however, are fine all around -- theatrical but surprisingly believable considering the context -- but a muddy sound mix ensures they go underappreciated.
