	Watership Down (1978)

	WATERSHIP DOWN - DVD
		Watership Down is essentially a handsomely mounted adventure sold wit allegorical elements and a few sticky archetypes.
		On the one hand, Watership Down's character animation is shoddy, making some actions needlessly mysterious and the principal figures largely indistinguishable from one another; on the other hand, the process of adaptation and compaction has resulted in a few rather abrupt scene changes.
		Above its shortcomings, Watership Down is haunting (particularly a near-death nightmare underscored by Art Garfunkel's "Bright Eyes" and the impressionistic fate of the hero-rabbits' warren) and unusually thoughtful for something produced in what is still thought of in the United States as a children's medium.

	SparkNotes: Watership Down: Context
		Watership Down has been viewed as a statement about nature, an attempt to give us a glimpse into the beautiful yet removed world of the woods and grasslands.
		At times, Watership Down is almost pleading in tone, suggesting that we still have time to stop our destruction of animals' homes before it is too late—an idea that appeals to many.
		However Watership Down is read—as a political, social, or environmental critique or simply as a book about the search for a home and life—it is undoubtedly greatly influenced by the state of the natural world in the twentieth century and the role that humanity must play within that world.

	Review of "Tales from Watership Down"
		Watership Down is a classic story about a band of rabbits who escape the destruction of their home warren and brave many dangers and hardships to find a place to live where they can be safe and prosper.
		Tales from Watership Down tells a little more about what happened after the battles were over, when the new warren came into a period of peacefulness and cooperation with other warrens.
		The stories about the Watership Down warren and the characters from the first book are a bit more satisfying, but I would have liked a single story with a beginning, middle, and end, rather than a series of vignettes.

	Amazon.ca: Escape to Watership Down: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This DVD set of three episodes of the TV series version of Watership Down produced in Great Britain is an exellent example of high quality animation and, although the story is somewhat altered, is a credit to both the book and the original movie.
		Martin Rosen, the director of the original movie "Watership Down" was more interested in portraying the background of the very beautiful English countryside that the movie is set in.
		I highly recommend this DVD and the other DVD, "Journey to Watership Down" to anyone who has seen the original movie and/or has a small child who likes animation(and what child dosen't?!).

	Amazon.com: Watership Down: Books: Richard Adams
		The book is often praised as an allegory, with its analogs between human and rabbit culture (a fact sometimes used to goad skeptical teens, who resent the challenge that they won't "get" it, into reading it), but it's equally praiseworthy as just a corking good adventure.
		As much about freedom, ethics, and human nature as it is about a bunch of bunnies looking for a warm hidey-hole and some mates, Watership Down will continue to make the transition from classroom desk to bedside table for many generations to come.
		This simple story of the arduous migration of a band of rabbits to a safer home is an artful blending of epic, myth and creative language.

	Watership Down (1978)
		I had absolutely no knowledge of WATERSHIP DOWN was going to be about except that it featured rabbits in some capacity.
		In a nut shell WATERSHIP DOWN resembles one of those post apocalypse dramas by John Wyndham or more especially John Christopher except instead of humans it features rabbits that talk.
