Just seen someone on the dark side saying they're sitting down with their four and six year old children to watch the "nice, wholesome children's film" ... Watership Down 😱 😬
That's their Sunday ruined. I only ever saw it once and this is literally the only thing I remember about it.
@fkamiah17
Same with the adventures of Colargol, which someone who wasn't paying attention describes in Wikipedia as "The happy and singing adventures of a bear cub"
I vividly remember Colargol bring torn away from parents by an evil circus ring master, locked away in a little cage on a train carriage as he cried.
@dr_jo_mue Yeah, I get that. It's definitely more traumatic, although I'm saying that having seen Princess Mononoke as an adult, and never having watched Watership Down again since childhood.
@fkamiah17 I wonder how many parents over the years have fallen into the Watership Trap™. My wife did years ago with our kids, and I would have too if I hadn't been otherwise occupied at the time.
@fak I just had a look at some of the replies - there were some seriously alarming things like "Oh, it's cute" and "wholesome family fun". Psychopaths.
@fak Perfectly lovely film about a boy and an otter, right up until the last two minutes when the kid's going home from his holiday, and the farmer stoves the otter's head in with a shovel 😬
