100 Things No 3: Watership Down (Again)
Oct. 7th, 2012 08:24 pmBecause I'll never get 100 posts done if I don't do them! And to segue on nicely from the last one...
In 1999 to much fanfare and celebrity voices, a tv series of Watership Down was made. The film was awesome, but there still was a lot of fodder left in the book, and I was hoping for something akin to the Animals of Farthing Wood, complete with darkness, if not baby mice impaled on thorns or Watership's own bunny coughing blood trapped in a snare.
But wile Farthing Wood was a European collaboration, this one came with help from across the pond, Canada to be exact. And while a similar partnership brought about a pretty good Redwall adaption around the same time, this one was...not as good. But to be fair, it was in the shadow of abunny snuff film brilliant previous adaptation.
( Cut For Bunny Cuteness )
TL:DR, cute bunnies being cute. When not waging war.
