Production notes

Watership Down is a remarkable tale about the friendship, survival and heroism of a group of rabbits who leave their endangered warren in search of a new home. The rabbits are driven by a vision of a Promised Land. The small band of renegades set out on a perilous adventure across the English countrieside until they finally reach their new home, Watership Down. Although they build a new life, the rabbits must fight to protect their home from the fearful General Woundwort, leader of the dark and evil warren, Efrafa.
