Watership Down
We learn from a young age that not everything is unicorns and rainbows in the animal kingdom. The circle of life can get graphic when animals brawl for territory or food. Watership Down didn’t dance around this fact but instead embraced it so hard the viewers wound up gasping for air.
It’s only natural that a group of rabbits searching for a new home in the wild might hop into trouble along the way. However, we didn’t expect to see gratuitously bloody fur-flying fights or claustrophobia-inducing suffocation scenes in a children’s movie. If you’ve seen Watership Down, you know it was a truly terrible day to have eyes.
