Sinopsis:

Valientes conejos emprenden un peligroso viaje a su nuevo hogar en esta versión animada de la novela de Richard Adams.

Opinión;

Una nada convencional película animada que ni Disney ni Pixar se atrevería a hacer jamás.

El contexto y circunstancia son muy simples, un grupo de conejos que decide huir para encontrar un lugar más seguro para vivir. Pero no nos engañemos, no es una película para todo público, mínimo para pre adolescentes en adelante bajo la supervision de un adulto. No hay contenido sexual del cual preocuparse, pero la historia está, la cual está excelentemente contada, se desarrolla a lo bestia, es a ratos cruda y desoladora como también bella, sin embargo, la constante atmósfera de opresión y oscuridad la hacen pesada de ver y no recomendable para niños, puesto que también contiene breves escenas violentas tomando en cuenta de que es una película de dibujos animados.

La música es bellísima, la animación es majestuosa y natural y personajes con los cuales es fácil encariñarse y preocuparse.

A wonderful film for children and adults alike. Certainly a lot darker than a Disney film, so parental guidance advised.

I had never read the book or seen the movie, but I knew that both have a cult following and was aware their plot dealt with some serious issues such as totalitarianism, freedom and the fight for survival.

The film does not shy away from showing the harsh realities of nature and the dangers rabbits face from humans, predators and other rabbits.

The themes are there and, surprisingly, are not sugarcoated despite the fact that this is an animated movie and, of course, one would naturally intuit that this is a story entirely aimed at a children's audience, which is not the case.
Watership Down is a dark and somber tale, and its themes are not aimed at minors who are sensitive or susceptible to cruder material.

In my personal opinion I didn't find anything special in it but it has quality and emotion. The messages are very important and are delivered in a direct way. It has some flaws in terms of pace and impact, but I still liked it.… Expand

I saw this movie when I was 11. Needless to say it terrified me. I don’t remember much about what happened, but for some reason my memory decided it was one of the best movies ever. Super scary, so I think it serves it’s purpose.

It can often be lukewarm, but 'Watership Down' uses great contrasting animations to depict reality, mental breakdowns, and spirituality while also telling a sound and surprisingly violent/gritty plot that deals with politics and slavery.

Its mature and semi-slow pace is going to be more appealing with older audiences.… Expand
