    Adaption of the Award Winning 1972 British Novel by Richard Adams. An Animated Drama about life and death in a colony of Rabbits.

    The Book is better because this has it's Differences.. Actually alot... i don't wanna ruin it.. But unlike the book Blackavar dies. I think the book is worth a reading... But you'll probably only enjoy the Movie if you haven't read the book. It's still a good Movie.. But nothing liek the book.

    Iti s a good movie though... I know a lot of people that watched it as kids and got tromitised by Watching it as a five year old. It will look like a Kids movie because it's British Rabbits "Oooooh Soooo Innocent" well it's actually really cold yet beuatiful and great.

    I still say If you get attached to the Characters read the book so you're not torn if they die because they probably don't in the book... Instead of What's her faces back being torn off in the boat they removed that character and Replaced the death with a new Character named Violet and Blackavar.

    Plus Acorn, Speedwell and Hawkbit aren't in it.

    So, What do you all think? Yeah I have readt he book.

    Well, dang, I guess that does it for me.
    It's one of my favorite books, though.

    I also saw the film as a child and I thought it was great. Maybe that's why I'm a warped individual today. Hate to say it but I did enjoy the Bright Eyes segment. Made me cry a few times. On the whole I still think both book and film are brilliant.

    I remember all the rabbits trying to dig out of the burrow, blood in the corner of their mouth. The dead piled at the covered exits.

    other than that it is a awesome animated flick made for the hard of heart. (I'd feel bad showing this to my girl, she's a sweet softy) From the fantastic little animated story at the start to the exciting and satisfying conclusion of the rabbit's odyssey.

    Although im only 15, i watched this when i was mabye...7 or 8? Such a good film, and as TS said, its so beautiful and sad at the same time. If only kids movies today were as good as they were 10/15 years ago.
