At least two noted British actors lend their voices to both - John Hurt and Nigel Hawthorne. Both contain some of the finest detail you’ll ever see in an animated feature. Both come from the same filmmaking team: writer-director Martin Rosen, animation director Tony Guy. Both are based on novels by Richard Adams, who is basically in the same boat with Anthony Burgess: British author of many novels, forever identified with only one. The two movies are proper companion pieces for several reasons. The same is also true of 1982’s The Plague Dogs, which is, if anything, even more grim than Watership Down.
Kid stuff? Don’t bet on it.Īs many fans know, 1978’s Watership Down is not only not a kiddie movie, it boasts a good deal more maturity and depth than most live-action movies for adults. Two animated films about talking rabbits and talking dogs.
