How is this made for kids wtf I'm scarred for life did u see that bunny sink it's teeth into the darker colored one???? I swear I'll have ptsd for all my days
It's based on the book by Richard Adams & the book is even more disturbing than the movie. The book is also considered for younger readers. Some countries have banned the book in their schools because they don't want children reading it.
@@ApolloTheUltimate Watership down wasn't made as a kids' movie. It's animated, but animation doesn't mean "for kids" - it's simply another medium in which a story can be told Also to the guy i'm answering to: i think there's a bit of a weird "disney movies are all happy and sunshine and rainbows" stereotype, but if we look at Disney movies focusing on animals living in the woods, they're not really all that happy in tone. Sure, there's less blood and the mood is less intense in general, but like... Bambi has blood in it and the scene in which Bambi's mom dies is pretty grim. There's also a scene of a bird panicking when a hunter is closeby; she's hiding in tall grass with other birds who plead her to stay calm. She loses her nerve and tries to fly away and gets shot. In Bambi 2, which is admittedly a pretty happy movie, there is a scene in which a hunter lures Bambi to him by sounding a deer call, which, to Bambi, sounds like his mother calling him. The only other forest-themed Disney movie i can think of right now is Fox and the Hound and while it obviously isn't nearly as grim as Watership Down, it's bittersweet and the main character almost gets killed multiple times.
@@KindOfAMess yes. yes it was made for kids. it was given a U rating in Britain, which means that it would be suitable for everyone. what you’re saying is just plain wrong. a U rating means that it’s suitable for children. whether or not you agree with that rating is a different story
When i was 7 my mother told me that it was an absolutely adorable movie. I said i didn't wanna watch it because someone at school told me it was scary. She made me watch it anyway. To say i was traumatized would be an understatement.
That scene where the burrows being filled freaked me out as a kid. I felt so bad for those bunnies. That scene is still plays vividly in my mind when I think of this movie
I think it's oddly poetic that the last death in the whole movie isn't a fiery, epic fall of a villain, It's the peaceful passing of the main character. And yet, it's an ending better than the ones where all the characters live "happily ever after" with no death of any kind for years to come.
It's like how in the Animals of Farthing Wood Badger was the only character that died a peaceful death. That's the show that had the baby mice who had been impaled on thorns by a butcherbird although for the most part it was either getting shot by hunters or eaten by bigger predators.
“Come you back and fight you fools, dogs aren’t dangerous?!” Woundwort was so brave and fierce that he attempted to take on Bob, the dog but there was no way out of this one.
@@whatthe8508 According to the book, General Woundwort dies (but his body is never found, so the other rabbits do not know for certain). He becomes remembered as dying a hero, and leaves a complicated legacy, because he hurts the dog so badly it goes home and leaves the other rabbits alone.
When I was in kindergarten, to encourage me to read, my parents would let me pick out one movie from the $1 bin for every book I read. One day, I picked up watership down and they were like, "are you sure, it's not really a kids film." Anyway, fast forward, this is still one of my favorite films and books... and I'm goth now
Because it's a good story, and it doesn't pander, it doesn't talk down to the audience. It just tells the story, and the story is brutal. I watched this film for the first time at like 6, and loved it. It is still an amazing piece of artwork.
@@timandshannon03 I think that's because your into dark stuff. I don't mind dark stuff as long as it's not THAT brutal or dark to the point where its depressing, I like things that keep balance and have some positive light while also having it's dark momments. like Steven universe or adventure time or spongebob ect ect
I understand your points, and they're valid points, but ultimately they're your personal view points. Your personal view, doesn't dictate what is, or is not a children's film. I personally find fault in the Sponge Bob, or Steven's Univese arguments because they ultimately talk down to children. They're nonsensical, and in all honesty, look at Sponge Bob, he's an Asshole. What does he teach kids? For every Sunshine and Rainbows shows, we need something like Watership Down to balance the equation out.
For some reason when I was watching this at age 5, the amount of death in it had hardly any effect on me. Yet when I watched it in my late teens it seemed to confuse me as to why I was so emotionless about it when I was a child. Throats ripped out, dog attacks, choking, mass crushes and fields of blood. How this ever got a U rating in the UK amazes me. Don’t get me wrong though, I think it is an outstanding film as well as iconic and I watched it repeatedly throughout my childhood on good old VHS (my grandad recorded it of the TV). Although I’m not too sure if I’d let my kids watch it at the age that I first did.
Fellow of the same age and had the same reaction as you did. It was a mini series that came out on TV then and I remember really loving the story. I don't know why the violence was just accepted at face value in my mind, but then I remember watching Three's Company all the time too and not thinking ANYTHING about the sexual innuendos at the time. Innocence truly is a strong force for those that embrace it in their hearts. I just recently watched Plague Dogs that was also on TV by the same animator and the beginning part makes me so sad (along with the very violent scene in that one).
I was always captivated by the way the rabbits are characterized in this. The violence they encounter had driven several characters insane and the rabbits that aren't crazy are still clinging to thus peculiar religion and fumbling through an unforgiving world.... very relatable in a way.
@@hungrytortoise4341 its nose and leg,yet you said it had woundwort half eaten,i never saw this,the dig returned back in the farm just with few injuries,woundwort was not shown
Honestly, I really like this movie. I find it less of a violent and gory film then just a natural representation of life. I was pretty traumatized when I first watched this film at age seven, especially the choking scene and the death of Blackavar. But I'm twelve now and I find it a nice film.
I remember watching this when I was like 5 or 6. My parents thought it was a normal kids movie because of the rating on the DVD and walked in on the final battle scene. They turned that shit IMMEDIATELY off and made me watch Star Trek TNG. I refused to eat rabbit meat for a while and begged my hunter dad to "not hurt the bunnies". Fun memories
At 1:14 I actually think the train scene is the most disturbing because the efrefans didn't even have a chance to move or say anything they were just silent, as if they knew they were going to die, and then when the train hits them, they're gone, no blood, no sign of them, it's like they've disappeared, and then it's just silence, the only sound we can hear is the train moving, and the dark scenery and the train moves so fast, and the fact the train is only black makes this all the more disturbing.
General Woundwart’s fear is what led to the death of his family, and then later his lack of fear is what resulted in the death of his warren and his own (possible) death. *Ironic.*
Who says animation is kids stuff? Show them this, Heavy Metal, Wizards, American Pop, Fire and Ice, Rock and Rule, Fantastic Planet, Lightyears aka Gandahr, Starchaser, DC animation, Bojack Horseman, Felidae, Fritz the Cat, old school Simpons (Seasons 1 to 11 only and no zombie simpsons seasons 12 to now crap), South Park the movie/series, Primal, Love Death and Robots, Spawn TAS, Aeon Flux, The Maxx, The Head, Duckman, Ninja Scroll, Akira, Cowboy Bebop series/movie, Perfect Blue, Princess Mononoke and more.
0:37 In case anyone is wondering the unnamed bird of prey here looks to me like the juvenile dark variant of the honey buzzard. Fun fact: honey buzzards are not accually true buzzards like the common or rough legged buzzards but rather their own separate bird. They are however very close that they might as well be.
Also, this scene (and the character of Violet) was not in the book, although there was a (non-fatal) attack from a crow at the same stage in the storyline.
@@IllusionQueen4Eva probably to show the harshness of the wild and the dangers they were in. Though, when I first watched the film as a kid, I for some reason though that she just ran off and avoided the hawk. Idk why.
The kill at 1:24 is insanely brutal. I couldn't beleive my eyes when I first saw it. Not only the way he's killed, but the lingering shot afterwards. Horrific.
You missed a couple. There's the rabbit that is killed off-screen when Bigwig leads a fox onto an Efrafan wide patrol and another that is killed under the bridge when Bigwig first meets the Efrafans to "join the warren". You may also count a fly and fish eaten by Keehar.
Just going to say this, there are literally less combat deaths in the entire Warriors series (much longer than Watership Down) than in about 5 minutes of this movie (the burial part).
Ok, now I really want to see (well not *see*, but know the results of) a 1 v 1 with Woundwart against the average warrior, and also maybe one of the more fighty clan leaders (such as firestar or tigerstar) against literally every bunny in this movie.
Wait, hold up, I just remembered how long the Warriors franchise is, it definitely has more than 62 (or 63, depending on if Woundwort counts) cat deaths and rabbit deaths. Still less bloody on average in comparison to this though.
I've seen kill count videos on RUclips for other films,such as the Godfather and the Towering Inferno,as well as a Nazi Kill Count one for Where Eagles Dare.
Bro, when I was a kid, I remember seeing a scene from some cartoon animation about rabbits, and they were like crawling up from underground all bloody and malformed. I am 99.99% sure it was from this but I can't seem to match any scene to what I remember. All I know is that I thought it was so disturbing I never forgot it.
Until Google, I wasn't sure if it was just my imagination. I remembered rabbits getting killed by cars and dogs and being all bloody. I would describe what I remember and no one knew wtf I was talking about. I think I was like 5 years old. This is definitely the movie I remember. Memory isn't like a picture. I remembered the general rabbit as a dog. I don't remember the actual dog in the movie, but I remember bloody rabbits flying through the air. I used to ask people my age if they remember this movie all the time.
I'm a fan of Walt Whitman, and the following is a good passage: However, when see movies like this I think about that passage and find myself thinking: "Are you so sure about that". Animals may not weep for their sins, but I wouldn't always call them placid. They know hunger and they know danger, some have instincts to run and kill and some have instincts to run and hide because they all have an instinct to survive.
I have vivid memories of watching this with my grandma, but the only scene in it I could recall on my own is the one where it gets caught in a snare. I didn't realize what was going on in the movie at that age I don't even understand why I was shown it.
I grew up with 1 of those moms who thought (its just a movie) so as a child I was exposed to all horrors and thrillers, this in itself had no effect on me nor the others I watched. I was desensitized as a child but I love this film, the writing, music and storyline is fantastic. A must watch to all ages I think. If you keep your kids in a bubble dont you think all the more traumatic when real life hits em?
ooooohhh. i remember this. this movie gave me a good scare when i was 7. but it was necessary. made me realize that nothing is all lovey-dovey in this world. and that is a valuable lesson for life.
This film is quite disturbing and violent for a PG film, but PG-13 wasn't around until 1984 due to controversy surrounding "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Gremlins". They were considered too dark and violent for PG, but not enough for R.
I think I remember watching this film in school when I was 8 or 9 and I got completely traumatised by this movie because of how dark, bloody and gory this film is. If I made this film, I would rate as a PG or 12. And if you are American, it is basically the equivalent to a PG-13
My dad used to read me the book when I was like 3-8 years old at bedtime and I got nightmares after watching the film. He even named our rabbit after general woundwort
Is it weird that I really loved this movie as a kid? Like the gore and death scenes did not affect me one bit, in fact it only made it better? Not just this movie, like when I was a kid going through my MLP phase I watched animations like Cupcakes, Rainbow Factory and Rarity New Patters and I really loved them all lol
Who ever made this movie and book needs serious help. What the actual frick? And the fact that they manage to pass this film as child friendly and got the DVD cover art changed to look like a typical kiddie animated animal film really grinds my gears.
I babysat a child when I was a senior in High School. The child I babysat watxhed this movie once on VHS or DVD that they had at home. This movie was straight up tripping balls!
no one: literally no one: this DVD case description of the movie: "A delightful film for audiences of all ages" this film: *has 62 rabbits murdered and that being the whole movie* kids: *never get a rabbit for the fear of this happening* me: *protects my two rabbits*
Movie Blackavar may not have had a chance, but you have to give it to him for trying to be brave against the tyrant who caused him such grievous pain. Book Blackavar meanwhile is content being a guard for the Down.
I should show this film to someone I hate. Tell ‘em it’s a cartoon movie and refuse to elaborate. Leave ‘em alone for the runtime. Come back when it finishes.
Notice how you NEVER see rabbits run over on streets? I actually had two incidents where a rabbit hopped right next to my car, then somehow they were able to turn around on a dime and hop in the opposite direction.
Fun Fact: There are 8 less kills in this 1 PG movie than all of the Chucky movies combined

Despite the traumatizing moments, somehow this is my favorite movie.
I have vivid memories of watching this with my grandma, but the only scene in it I could recall on my own is the one where it gets caught in a snare. I didn't realize what was going on in the movie at that age I don't even understand why I was shown it.
This is in my opinion the darkest animated pg film ever. Actually opinion is wrong to say it is a fact that this is the darkest
The death of hazel isn't a kill, the 62s death is the death of general woundwort
>he thinks woundwort is dead
@@williamwallace3780 oh no! the general will get him!
@@yolomacswaginator3174 he died?
@@whatthe8508 well, nobody found his body, and because he was really strong a determined... He could survived...
If this is a film for children, i am Chuck Norris
Hello Chuck
I can't believe Chuck Norris himself is here commenting on this video

1978 Hazel: Deceased
2018 Hazel: Alive
I always get happy tree friends vibes from those death scenes. This movie has some serious balls. One of my favorite animated movies ever
I grew up with 1 of those moms who thought (its just a movie) so as a child I was exposed to all horrors and thrillers, this in itself had no effect on me nor the others I watched. I was desensitized as a child but I love this film, the writing, music and storyline is fantastic. A must watch to all ages I think. If you keep your kids in a bubble dont you think all the more traumatic when real life hits em?
ooooohhh. i remember this. this movie gave me a good scare when i was 7. but it was necessary. made me realize that nothing is all lovey-dovey in this world. and that is a valuable lesson for life.
“Violets Gone!” Best line.
This film is quite disturbing and violent for a PG film, but PG-13 wasn't around until 1984 due to controversy surrounding "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Gremlins". They were considered too dark and violent for PG, but not enough for R.
Its not a PG film though, it's a G film where I live or a U film (equivalent to G) in Britain where it came out.
@@zeonmoo192 Ah, I've heard that the rating system in other countries are different than the U.S.
@@RB01.10
This is supposedly suitable for literally every age. So a two year old, technically, is allowed to watch this.
Chimney actually, it was PG rated before it was U (you could tell by looking at the theatrical posters)
Even Friday the 13th is better lol
I can't very well imagine 62 rabbits in one place at one time.
Fun fact: the remake had only 31 deaths
It isn’t a remake. It’s an adaptation to the book. BBC said so
Exactly half the amount that the first film had,then.

1:15
LMAO that was oddly specific! 😂
I was so bored watching this in the cinema as a 7yr old I'm sure I started crying....I did however appreciate this more in my 20's
When people ask my favorite film, I say: "OH FUCK YEAH I LOVE WATERSHIP DOWN!!11!1!!"
"The Man-Thing killed it"
Are these bunnies secretly Skaven?!
Bigwig led a fox that killed a rabbit also, although it was off screen it was heard so it should count. Great stuff anyway
This movie creeped me out as a kid, I'm 28 now and would never watch it again.
I can’t wait till the day Dead Meat decides too cover this movie
I actually somehow found this film entertaining as a kid and wasnt fazed by it dont ask me how
peter rabbit and happy tree friends had a baby together? I never knew that
I think I remember watching this film in school when I was 8 or 9 and I got completely traumatised by this movie because of how dark, bloody and gory this film is. If I made this film, I would rate as a PG or 12. And if you are American, it is basically the equivalent to a PG-13
My dad used to read me the book when I was like 3-8 years old at bedtime and I got nightmares after watching the film. He even named our rabbit after general woundwort
The BBFC award 12 ratings for considerably less than this!
Hell, this was rated U when Gremlins was rated 15!
Does woundwort have rabies?
Also, I think the worst death in this the rabbits suffocating and poor blackavar, who got his throat ripped out
Is it weird that I really loved this movie as a kid? Like the gore and death scenes did not affect me one bit, in fact it only made it better? Not just this movie, like when I was a kid going through my MLP phase I watched animations like Cupcakes, Rainbow Factory and Rarity New Patters and I really loved them all lol
Request: The Plague Dogs (1982) Kill Count
Who ever made this movie and book needs serious help.
What the actual frick?
And the fact that they manage to pass this film as child friendly and got the DVD cover art changed to look like a typical kiddie animated animal film really grinds my gears.
I babysat a child when I was a senior in High School. The child I babysat watxhed this movie once on VHS or DVD that they had at home. This movie was straight up tripping balls!
So many dead rabits, i guess PETA really loves this movie.
pain peko
The way the count just goes ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ when the burrows were being burried-
0:54 Gotta love 38 deaths in the span of under 15 seconds!
Blackavar man, brutal scene!
Too upsetting seeing all these animal deaths, think I'll give that Animals of Farthing Wood a go instead..
1:24 that death didnt happen in the book, the movie is more gruesome than its source material
1. lie down
2. sleep
3. die
Same bro.
Same bro.
I’m still traumatised from watching this when I WAS 2
You remember at that age?
How?
2? I'm not sure if it's the same for most people,but I remember very little from before the age of 5,and from then on I remember loads.
no one:
literally no one:
this DVD case description of the movie: "A delightful film for audiences of all ages"
this film: *has 62 rabbits murdered and that being the whole movie*
kids: *never get a rabbit for the fear of this happening*
me: *protects my two rabbits*
this movie scared me sm when i was younger i remember these scenes so well 😖
Great! Now let's do Plague Dogs, please.
Movie Blackavar may not have had a chance, but you have to give it to him for trying to be brave against the tyrant who caused him such grievous pain. Book Blackavar meanwhile is content being a guard for the Down.
Not gonna lie. This movie scared the shit out of me when I was 8-9
Most animated movies: we can't have any blood, that's too violent for kids!
Martin Rosen in 1978: haha rabbit go squish
The guy who made this is going to have nightmares for weeks after this
Rabbits: *screaming and dying underground*
Video: *happy sound effect*
I remember being shocked at this movie as a kid, it was so unexpected and brutal.
Fun fact: This movie is rated U in the UK which is the equivalent to rated G in US. Which means in UK this has the same rating as Wall-e.
I remember watching the part when they were stuck underground when i was about 7 and jesus, it traumatised me
I should show this film to someone I hate. Tell ‘em it’s a cartoon movie and refuse to elaborate. Leave ‘em alone for the runtime. Come back when it finishes.
The 15 gingerbread bunbuns turning into red gingerbread bunbuns and falling over gets me every time 🤣
I think that I have fallen down a literal rabbit hole.

Notice how you NEVER see rabbits run over on streets? I actually had two incidents where a rabbit hopped right next to my car, then somehow they were able to turn around on a dime and hop in the opposite direction.
