Kids film? Are you sure?

Sorry, I was always disturbed by it when I was a kid, and I'm still not keen on it today. But as for the Blu-ray release, that date listed is a Monday, so it is possible.

I've never seen this, is it one of those kids films that has a 'dark' meaning to it, or is it like 'where the wild things are' where people say its 'dark' but its just puppets playing with a kid..

No. I don't really know what to compare it to - Bambi maybe? I can barely remember both films though.

I just lost patience with WTWTA.

I saw this as a kid and it is a grisly film. Dont think i've watched it since though

I remember watching this film on HBO back when I was a teen.
It was the craziest, scariest cartoon I had ever seen.
would be awesome to have a blu-ray of this great film.

KingSimba · 07-07-2010, 10:55 PM

A fantastic film, will definitely pick this up

Try the Plague Dogs (by the same author) sometime. It is about as grim as it sounds.

Man, I think they are releasing everything that I bought in the last batch of dvds I ever plan on buying. Still, an upgrade seems likely...

johndoyle123 · 08-14-2010, 03:36 PM

There was a cartoon series shown on ITV if that's what you're thinking of.

The black rabbit still gives me the creeps now as a 35 year old !!

Yami · 08-16-2010, 03:55 PM

I will probably pick this up, I think it's one of the best animated book to film adaptations that I have seen. Although not true to the book I think the adaptation of The Plague Dogs is actually better than Watership Down, I can't wait for a good Blu-Ray of The Plague Dogs because the DVD quality isn't too good in my opinion.

johndoyle123 · 08-16-2010, 03:58 PM

next after this i want animal farm

and while there at it they could finally give us a decent release of animals of farthing wood ( never even hit dvd ) and the last unicorn
