I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I was quite young when I watched this movie. The scenes terrified me so much and I had nightmares for weeks. Everytime I come to watch this movie it terrifies me still and I have to turn it off.

I heard some people say this was a classic animated movie, but I didn't like it THAT much. It's mostly because I really couldn't associate with the characters. I couldn't recall any of their names. A lot of the film was pretty boring, too. With all that being said, I did overall enjoy this film. It's mostly because of the amazing animation. It's not until the climax that it gets particularly violent.I enjoyed the prologue with its own style of animation. I even like how they go to the place they want to halfway through the movie. They need to have females to procreate. They are rabbits after all. I thought that was a really interesting way for the plot to go. The most haunting part is when they show the rabbits being buried alive. ***

A community of rabbits are forced to leave the warren that they live in. The rabbits encounter various obstacles in the cruel and unfair outside world during their search for a new peaceful home.The key remarkable triumph of writer/director Martin Rosen's exceptional adaptation of Richard Adams' bestselling novel is the vivid and striking way it presents a fascinating and thoroughly realized universe for the rabbit protagonists full of both stunning beauty and great danger that comes complete with its own unique spiritual beliefs and a clearly delineated social pecking order. Moreover, this film also serves as an intelligent and provocative meditation on the abuse of power, the desire for freedom, and the inevitability of death. The naturalistic and carefully crafted hand-drawn animation provides a lovely pastoral look. The superb voice acting from a top-drawer cast of British thespians rates as another substantial asset, with especially stand-out contributions from John Hurt as the gentle, yet noble Hazel, Richard Briers as nervous clairvoyant Fiver, Michael Graham Cox as rugged tumbler Bigwig, Roy Kinnear as cowardly runt Pipkin, Denholm Elliott as the sniveling Cowslip, and Harry Andrews as vicious tyrant General Woundwort. Zero Mostel supplies amusing comic relief as noisy, but helpful seagull Kehaar. The startling moments of bloody violence pack a jolting punch. Angela Morley's harmonic score and the touching ballad "Bright Eyes" sung by Art Garfunkel hit the tuneful spot. A highly impressive achievement.

I watched about 1/2 of this movie and it horrified me for about four months. I just was scared for life watching this awful movie. Although yes the movie has a great concept to it, but you can get your opinion across without seeing a field turn to blood or watching as a dog horrifically rips a rabbits throat open or watch as a rabbit gets choked to death and has blood spilling from his neck and mouth. If you have young children I do not recommend watching it. As a child I scared me. So if you don't want your child worrying about being buried alive. Do not get fooled buy the rating "G" I would probably rate it "PG-13". Beware.
