Watership Down

Directed by Martin Rosen

From Richard Adams’ book of the same name comes a beautifully realised animated adventure about a nomadic band of rabbits. Nestled among the rolling hills and peaceful meadows of England lives a community of rabbits.  When their warren is threatened, a small group of rabbits escapes into the unknown countryside in search of a new home. Led by Fiver, Bigwig, Blackberry and Hazel, they face daunting challenges, and use their strength and cunning to survive, while pursuing their dream. Along their trek, they make an unlikely friend – a looney seagull named Kehaar – and battle the vicious General Woundwort, the cruel leader of another warren.
