An apocalyptic vision pushes a group of rabbits to abandon their warren in search of a new home, in this landmark British animation.
Richard Adams’ timeless novel is brought brilliantly to life as Hazel, Fiver and Bigwig tackle the brutal realities of the rural world - and mankind’s devastating impact on it - as they lead their colony to the utopian Watership Down.
Newly restored in 4K by the BFI and Silver Salt Restoration, using the original 35mm negative and stereo audio tracks, this landmark animation is presented in Ultra High Definition for the very first time.
Featuring an acclaimed voice cast (including John Hurt and Denholm Elliott), a powerful score by composer Angela Morley and the hit single ‘Bright Eyes’ by Art Garfunkel, Watership Down is a thrilling tale of adventure, courage and resilience that continues to enthral new and old audiences alike.

I like the way BFI have clearly taken lessons from Arrow for their packaging which is great. With Get Carter this week and now Ghost Stories for Christmas coming on blu-ray. Happy days.
How did the tagline go "You're read the book, bought the tee shirt, seen the film, now taste the stew"
Glad this is getting a special edition, yes it gave me nightmares as a child but it’s still a classic
it sure looks a nice set.
not sure if i'm buying it, yet, though.@snow flake yeah, the kind of 'children's film' they have not made for a long time - beautifully drawn, engaging, but traumatic in parts, and challenging. i watched it the other day and still found some bits harder than expected.
watching as a child clearly had an impact! 
Plenty of time to get the pot ready for the stew. No hurryit sure looks a nice set.

Watership Down was a watershed (see what I did there?) and landmark animated film.
Now, if only someone would treat the, arguably superior, The Plague Dogs with such reverence!

Criterion BDs look as good, as any so called '4K' released afterwards, and region problem shouldn't exist for a collector. It's basically 2 regions now, not 6 like was with DVD, so don't even have to buy a multiregion player, just a second one from another country.It ain't no 4K and it ain't no region free, man. You know ...
Weird …. Forgot i had an order in with amazon uk for this, just thought it would get cancelled automatically but I’ve just looked and it says arriving Saturday !! Checked the asin no B0B8BBH2VR and it’s still for this item but confused. Anyone else noticed this?
