Martin Rosen's British animated film Watership Down is a 1978 classic with a still haunting impact. After a psychic rabbit predicts the destruction of their rabbit mound, a group of these rodents sets off on an epic journey through rural England in search of a new refuge, braving predators, man-made traps and malevolent rival peers... The portrayal of the rabbits is anthropomorphic, admittedly, but the nature in this family film is raw and even frightening.... Nevertheless, the result is a message of hope.
