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

DaveSimonH · 09-17-2010, 07:35 PM

I'd love to have Watership Down on Blu-ray.

Only if you remember Thumper in Bambi as a huge bloodthirsty rabbit.....

Definitely not a film to just sit very young kids down in front of, I'm surprised its not a PG to be perfectly honest.

Cannot wait for the Blu-ray.

If 4:3 is the correct ratio, then that had better be what we get on Blu-ray.
EDIT: Apparently 1.66:1 was the original ratio.

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...

That rabbit with the dodgy eye frightened the shit outta me when I was a kid.

Yeah - this movie was animated with rabbits in it but thats where the "kids" part of it ends! Solid flick - but hardly a real kids film.

Don't think we'll be seeing a UK release anytime soon (that unexplained cancellation was weird though), but we never know...

KingSimba · 09-26-2011, 11:03 PM

An email from Warner Bros. has stated Watership Down is now scheduled to be released some time in 2012.

Whenever a final date is known I shall post it here.

DaveSimonH · 09-27-2011, 01:38 AM

Kind of annoying that Germany has had a WB release for 11 months, but the UK gets a vague 2012 estimate :/

LMAO!!! I watched most of the video nasties as kid, but f*ck... that rabbit with one eye frightened the living shit outta me. 'Evil Bunny'.

I seriously question the BBFC's U in this case. I too don't think it's really an appropriate film for young kids.

I seriously question why they keep on delaying this release....
And to tease us by putting it up for less than a week before taking it down again just makes it worse.
