Movie Review: slow shipping, great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
It took a month to get the movie, but it was listed in 'used' condition. It really looks like brand new! Very happy with my purchase, would def. deal with this seller again!Movie Review: Review Watership Down
Summary: 4 Stars
Classic adult animated film in the vein of George Orwell's Animal Farm or even Snow White. A must see for adults who enjoy real animated films and not fluff. Teens are okay.. I wouldn't recommend it for small children. Movie Review: Hard to track down, fun to watch
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of my favorite movies when I was very young. It was very hard to track down a copy, but well worth it. This tape was in great condition and was just as much fun to watch for all the memories it brought back!Movie Review: Dumb stupid Bunny
Summary: 5 Stars
A classic cartoon about life through the eyes of rabbits. Antagonists and Protagonists meet head on. You may want to view with young children to be able to explain the similations. Movie Review: A true classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I won't be the first to say it doesn't have every element the book has and it makes quite a few changes. However it's close enough considering if you weren't with Disney and if you wanted to tell a "real" story the odds were against you.
Just ignore those people who cry out against the violence because there is plenty of it in the book and plenty of talking about it too. I just recently read the damn thing before watching the movie so I should know as good as anyone.
I can go on and on about how much it "annoys" me (though I can think of many other creative words) that everyone expects a g/pg movie that "the whole family" can enjoy when it comes to animation. Well I think the whole family can enjoy this movie and if it scares your kids (it kind of freaked me out) then so be it, life can be scary people and animals die everyday get over it.
So I say it one more time. Despite what others say this book follows the plot as close as any movie could for when it was made. And that is saying allot since it came out in 1978 and has influenced a number of people since then because this isn't a cute story about some wacky rabbits this a story that can be compared to any story that involves humans as much as any Pixar film.
Summary of Watership Down
Much like Richard Adams's wonderful novel, this animated tale of wandering rabbits is not meant for small children. It is, however, rich storytelling, populated with very real individuals inhabiting a very real world. The animation is problematic, sometimes appearing out of proportion or just subpar; but it seems to stem from an attempt at realism, something distinguishing the film's characters from previous, cutesy, animated animals. A band of rabbits illegally leave their warren after a prophecy of doom from a runt named Fiver (Richard Briers). In search of a place safe from humans and predators, they face all kinds of dangers, including a warren that has made a sick bargain with humankind, and a warren that is basically a fascist state. Allegories aside, Down is engaging and satisfying, and pulls off the same amazing trick that the novel did--you'll forget that this is a story about rabbits. --Keith SimantonAction & Adventure Video
