The timeless animation classic based on the best-selling novel by Richard Adams.
Nestled among the peaceful meadows of country England lives an idyllic
community of rabbits; but when warned that their warren will be
destroyed, a small group escapes into the unknown countryside in search
of a new home. Led by the visionary Fiver, the courageous Bigwig, the
clever Blackberry, and the honourable Hazel, the rabbits face daunting
challenges as they struggle to pursue their dream, battling the vicious
General Woundwort, the cruel leader of another warren, but also making
an unlikely friend - a batty seagull named Kehaar.
Director Martin Rosen brilliantly frames the tale from the rabbits’
point of view, while the affecting, painterly animation style further
allows the viewer to identify with each character’s enfrossing journey.
Nearly 30 years since its initial release, Watership Down remains a
compelling tale of courage, loyalty and thrilling adventure.
