🚨 JUST HIRED THIS FOR THE WEEKEND… CAN’T WAIT TO SIT DOWN WITH THE FAMILY AND WATCH WATERSHIP DOWN… 🐇😌📼
What could possibly go wrong…? 😅
If you grew up in the UK, you already know this wasn’t just a cartoon—it was a rite of passage. Countless childhoods were left emotionally scarred by what parents genuinely thought was “a nice film about rabbits.” 🥹💔
Beautiful animation, unforgettable music… and enough trauma to keep an entire generation talking about it decades later.
Who else watched this way too young? 🙋♂️

I predict a live action Watership Down film will be made in the far future
About every 20 years, a new form of media of Watership Down is made, and each time it's maturity or style changes. In 1978, there was the gory animated film. 21 years later in 1999, there was the childrens animated series. And then 19 years later after that in 2018, there was the CGI animated miniseries on BBC and Netflix that was somewhat graphic with minimal gore but still PG.
My prediction is that this pattern will continue, and about 10-15 years from now, in the late 2030s, there will be a fourth adaption. Now that 2d animation and CGI animation has been done, this one will be live action. In addition, live action movies typically attract older audiences more, so this one will be PG-13 with more language and violence than any of the others.
What do you guys think? Is this likely? I can see it coming.
