Update: Unfortunately this release has been cancelled

We regret to announce that, due to external issues beyond our control, the planned UHD/Blu-ray of Watership Down has been cancelled. Cancelling a release is always a last resort but in this instance we are left with no other option. We sincerely apologise for any disappointment.
