This and The Dark Crystal were two of my favourite movies when I was very young (like, four or five) and stuck with me. It's funny, because I don't consider this to be a children's book or a children's movie. You'd have to know your own kids to know whether they'd like it.<br /><br />I actually still have a jigsaw puzzle based on the movie - it has eight square screen shots from the film, all surrounded by briars and brambles and blackberries. One of the scenes is of Fiver watching the field run with blood (his vision). Another is of the bird pecking shot out of one of the rabbit's flanks. I think the movie is like a family member to me.<br /><br />When I finally got around to reading the book a few years ago, I too noticed and liked how similar the book and movie were. The characters from the movie are so entrenched in my brain, I could hear the actors' voices speaking the lines in my head!

As an adult I'm sure I would think the violence is actually quite tame but when I was kid I thought it was horrific LOL<br /><br />Heres an irony for you though, a couple of years ago the guy who composed the song Bright Eyes hired some people to shoot rabbits on his land as they was getting over populated!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861424110678889637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000858.post-56162600079426287212010-11-16T21:39:15.859-05:002010-11-16T21:39:15.859-05:00Watership Down was one of my favorite books when I...Watership Down was one of my favorite books when I was a kid, and I read it again with my kids and loved it all over again. But I watched only a part of the movie years ago and stopped. A colleague of mine reminded me why. When I told him I was reading the book with my daughter, he said, "Just don't get the movie. It's a bunny blood bath."Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567954521782974033noreply@blogger.com
