Watership Down
Based on the novel by Richard Adam
Originally U-rated, which is the equivalent of PG today. according to the 'Mirror', the film would not be rated PG today because of the violent scenes but also BBFC David Austin said the language is unacceptable for a U-rated film.
Watership Down is an interesting movie supposedly aimed at children but is full of propaganda for many things. the first is environmental awareness, and how building houses for people, kills rabbits. The second major theme is Communism referring to the dividing line for the rabbit's territory as "the iron road" no doubt a direct reference to The Iron Curtain from the days of communism. Overall I think the film had too many points and was animated in a style for children but the running themes were for adults.
