Watership Down (Movie)Watership Down is acclaimed animated film, directed by Martin Rosen based on the book Watership Down by Richard Adams and released in 1978. The film featured the voices of John Hurt, Richard Briers and Roy Kinnear, among others, and was the last film appearance of Zero Mostel. Art Garfunkel's British No.1 hit, Bright Eyes, was also featured, although in a different arrangement from the record version. Unlike many animated films, the film faithfully emulated the dark and violent sophistication of the book. As a result, many reviewers took to, and still do, warning parents that children may find the content highly disturbing. This attitude extended to when the animated television series remake was marketed with the producers making an effort to reassure parents that the violence was softened and that the main characters would not be permanently harmed in their adventures. In 2004 the magazine Total Film named Watership Down the 47th greatest British film of all time.
