An apocalyptic vision prompts a group of rabbits to abandon their warren in search of a new home, in this landmark British animation.

An apocalyptic vision prompts a group of rabbits to abandon their warren in search of a new home, in this landmark British animation. Richard Adams’ timeless novel is brought brilliantly to life as Hazel, Fiver, and Bigwig tackle the brutal realities of the English countryside – and mankind’s devastating impact upon it – as they lead their colony to the utopian Watership Down.

Featuring an acclaimed voice cast (including John Hurt, Richard Briers and Denholm Elliott), a powerful score by composer Angela Morley and the hit single Bright Eyes sung by Art Garfunkel, Watership Down is a thrilling tale of adventure, courage and resilience that continues to enthral new and old audiences alike.
