Anyone have any recommendations for old cartoon movies? Please no Felidae, Angel's Egg, Fantastic Planet, Star Chaser Oren, Fire & Ice, Barefoot Gen I & II, Rock & Rule, Plague Dogs, When the Wind Blows, Wizards, Gandahar, Valhala, and Animal Farm. All of these I have seen and also no Anime or TV Shows, I saw a lot of those and I'm looking for something that's considered really old school.
I loved how the book rabbits had something rather "un-human" about them. Where they really seemed like rabbits with a lower intelligence and not very human-like like other animal films. I don't think it translated well from book to movie here, but I'm sure that would be hard to do well!
the funny thing is, is that i thought this was a kid's movie XD man, was i wrong. but don't get me wrong, i still liked the movie (surprisingly because i was 9 at the time)
-In a field, I put on my sherlock hat and talk to my Watson- {british accent} being that they call their language lapine which means 'rabbit' in latan, I deduce that the lapine language has roots in the human latan. If my deduction is correct, than we should shout out random latan words and should we get some relevent reaction; we could cause a gaint leap in animal science. -begins light pipe smokes pipe-
My Watson: -takes pipe- No more of this for you; talking rabbits, lord's mercy!
(time for some satire) Let's rid the children of these lies! -shouts in Chuck E. Cheese intercom- Hey kid's there is no Santa, just your parent conspiring (more like prospiring) to make you obey them, No tooth fairy. In Fact, -runs up to stage and tears off animatronics head in a brust of electric violence. Kids are crying (I thought that they didn't know about death, somehow they know what has happened to their dreams), now parents are threatingen to sue me and the restruant, etc-
@LadyCorsaires I would like to know if you are speaking down to Disney or Watership Down. I love Disney and as far as I have gotten in this movie (haven't started part 2 yet), I like it to, being a 90's kid I like edginess, dark (and satirical, but I haven't seen any in this yet) material. I am just curious.
Don't forget it is not despair, the story (if you have read the book) teaches you about friendship, courage and determination, and finding good in bad situations. The rabbits had to change their lives to escape and they did, and the ending is ultimately happy. We all have to die, but this story isn't about death, its about life.
Geez people stop arguing about wether kids should watch it or not. I watched it when I was like 8 and we all know what kids are like with films they look at the pictures and don't listen to a word of it so I don't see your point
For all of you arguing over whether or not kids films should be like this, I think you're entirely missing the point. Just because it's an animated movie doesn't mean its automatically meant for children, this film in particular was made geared towards the older spectrum of kids and adults, especially for those who liked reading the book. Same with Felidae and a number of other films of the same level of gore.
@clockworkaxis and to expand on this thing with Disney. Convention was different in his carreer; movies were conceptual. Darker themes were what we now call 'hinted'; meaning that showing 'snow whites' hand falling on to the floor was still depicting death (this scene caused adults to cry, believe it or not) and Cinderella's cruel family, was depicting abuse and maltreatment. Dumbo still drinks and 'hangovers' at the top of a tree. And search: 'King Neptune Silly Symphonies' on youtube right now
I agree, its a really obnoxious stigma about animated movies and it stifles freedom of expression in animation. I guess there have to be proper labels on movies so you dont confuse movies like Watership Down, Deadspace: Downfall or Wizards with 9 or Secret of Nimph.
Animation is a great way to tell a story, and why it should be left for children eyes alone is a mystery to me.
Its not Clockwork Orange folks. Probably a bit much for someone under 8 years old, but I saw it around then and I turned out okay. I'd probably avoid showing this to my kids until they're 10 or older.
I don't understand why people are going on about how whether or not this movie is good or bad for children. I hadn't even heard of this movie when I was a kid yet I knew about the existence of death, gore and how 'violent' things can be in the wild and even in human society. I wasn't stupid. And I turned out alright. I was a normal kid, none of that stuff scared me. I didn't even think about it that much. I never REALLY got scared unless I watched horror movies -_-
Ok, the whole thing has been filling me with dread (the tone, the music, having read the book as a child). I know it's going to mess me up watching this, but I've always felt I should see it having read the book.
But all the anticipation and fear of the unfortunate things I know are coming was totally broken when Fiver fell in the water. I think I had so much pent up even so early into the film that I just started laughing. Maybe I should remember that for after I see the whole thing.
The movie makes some of this so much more tragic than the book, at least implicitly; here in the movie, you see mothers attempting to lead their babies away, only to be caught by the Owlsa. Those mothers knew the danger was coming the moment they heard fiver--they had the intuition to run with them, but in the end, those mothers have to watch as their kittens all suffocate painfully because the stupid bullies in the Owlsa wouldn't listen. Oh! How can a movie possibly make me so angry!?
"Mating Season." No cartoon in this day and age would ever DARE make reference to anything even remotely sexual. It's like all cartoons, Disney in particular, are determined to suck the reality out of every little scenario they come up with. And that's why Watership Down is one badass movie. It didn't care about what others thought, it was merely there to represent itself as one of the colder, crueler and more original sides of reality as a whole.
Spongebob (today's episodes, too), fairly odd parents, all Ice Ages except third, a scene in Rio, Pixar's future release 'Newt' about to endangered newt needing to mate, Ratatouille had plenty fun ones, 'Up' had a miscarrage in it, Toy story 1 and 3 has a good hinted dailog, Cars uses a few puns 'lug-nut'. Almost every 80's to early 00's cartoon!
@gOtHiCxAnGeLxox Is it as sugarcoated and irrelevant as that vocabulary? I mean who are you trying to impress?
Anyway, I was very sure that any reference to sex was a referance to sex no matter how it is used, because funny sex and serious sex is still sex. But I return, a lot of it isn't some punny asides to adults; That newt movie reserves the whole plot to mating, Ratatouille uses this as a character developing mechinism and has the only full body stare I have ever seen in anything animated.
If you want to be taken seriously, proper vocabulary is a must. Do you want me to water it down to fit your pitiful standards? Can you not comprehend my words to the fullest extent? Is that what you're truly getting at here?
Anyway, again, the argument you are attempt to pose is irrelevant to what you were originally bitching about. Because that's what you really want, isn't it? A good bitch? You picked a fight over something that didn't need to be fought over. Grow up, please.
@gOtHiCxAnGeLxox Yes, because I took your over-spiced language so seriously; I was waiting for a response from a fellow thinker, but nope, just a wannabe Gregory House. Any intellectual would understand that the one who resorts to insults has had there weakness exposed. I won't even read your second paragraph.
If your first paragraph, you have obviously never looked into realism novels, Sojourner Truth, or William Shakespeare, who couldn't spell his name.
@gOtHiCxAnGeLxox I understand what I'm about to say may upset you, but I feel the need to say it anyway.
Proper vocabulary isn't necessarily a must. I talk like a regular person without all the fancy words and most people take me seriously. Also, I find you telling them to "grow up" kinda silly. U coulda been a bigger person & responded w/out anything rude. U should both grow up a bit & I kno I prolly should to, cuz this wasn't my fight & I just kinda butted in.
@FlammaMan I think beaconnell may be referring to the author of the books "Watership Down" and "Plague Dogs" as they were both written by Richard Adams
this isnt too bloody violent for kids. reason i say that is whats the difference between this and watching national geographic channel or the animal planet shows of lions, cheetahs chasing down there prey and watch them eat em. ive seen many kids watch stuff like that but this movie shocks them? shit like this is life and human nature, nothing disturbing about it except the scene with the dog accidently hit the trigger on the hunters face. but whatever
Same studio and team is what I believe you meant. Although they gave Plague Dogs a drastically more realistic art style with the animals, which only made it all the more heart wrenching.
The difference between the violence Animal Planet shows and the violence in this movie is that the cheetah and it's prey don't talk or have any human characteristics. Once something takes on human emotions it because more shocking when violent things happen to them.
@cmsasuke17 the difference is that this is played as if the rabbits were humans. On animal planet the lions doesn't talk or have rules or politics wisch we humans got! Children doesn't relate these rabbits as rabbits, they relate them as humans because they talk and act in a more human way then in non cartoon features. here the charactars pick up a personality. on animal planet you don't see any personality or have you seen any lion being "humoristic"?
hey....question.....what the mother fuck are you trollz talkin bout?????. whatch the dame movie, dont philosify a dame grown ups childrens flick....it gets gratuitous at times man
I see that a lot of people are like "Life isnt all sunshine and daiseys" blah blah blah, but sometimes ignorance is bliss. Everyone should know that there arent good things in the world, but thats what makes kids so happy, is the fact that they're ignorant, keep thinkin like that and all these kids will grow up to be sad, and depressed. You cant fix everything in the world, and knowing about it isnt going to fix it.
@abbybroncos True, but flat out lying aint gonna help them either, instead they should be teached the different sides of life.
Life aint allways fair and nice but there are allways some bright sides in it, also humor is especially good way of coping up with life (even if it starts to go near the levels of insanity).
@whatewer23 I never said i encouraged lying, all im saying is that kinda shouldnt have to think about things that are bad in the world until they're at a certain age (i dont know what age) Thats why there are good movies for kids, it keeps their spirits up, and keeps them happy, and seeing kids happy keeps adults happy ya know?
@abbybroncos You're generalizing. Knowing about bad brings knowledge of how to handle it. True, kids shouldn't be drowned with "Life isn't all sunshine and daisies," but keeping them completely sheltered and purposefully ignorant will bring harm as well, if a different kind. Besides, you can't keep *all* bad from a child's life - on the contrary. So, it falls to parents to be steadfast, wise, and discerning in this unfair world, so children can defend themselves readily and *healthily*.
@Kyuubi92 well said, that is where many budhist ideals come from, the buhda was a sheltered prince, when he saw the world for what it was he gained enlightenment and tried to help every one, budism is not as much a religion as a way of life.
@abbybroncos I watched this movie when I was a kid and guess what. All i remember was bunnies getting killed and blood everywhere. Little kids cant grasp internal meanings. Idk what kids your referring to when you say kids that watch happy movies grow up depressed because everyone i know is happy and are not depressed. Kids dont need to understand that stuff. Im not staying you should lie to them and say oh yeah when you get older life will be easy and the world is perfect i know its far from it
@abbybroncos I agree that there are things in this world you cannot fix, but being ignorant fixes nothing and the key to knowing the difference between what you can fix and what you cannot is... knowing.
That being said, I do agree we need to be careful how to ease our children into the complexities of the world. Still, come to think of it, as an artist, I think Watership Down had a profound effect on me having seen it at such a young age. Perhaps we sometimes need a shock or two in life...
@abbybroncos Hahh! I saw this movie when I was a kid and I didn't get any sad and depressed while growing up. Have a little trust in childrens strength.
@abbybroncos what charecters did you see in that? Badrang and Cuny? Bowser and Peach? if you don't lnow the first two, im not suprised. nobody reads the redwall series anymore.
@abbybroncos Kids really should learn about the bad things early, in my opinion. That way, it won't come as quite a shock when the world fucks them over and kicks them in the stomach. I myself would rather be sad in my knowledge, than happy in my ignorance.
@JACEH123 In my opinion people shouldn't be making these judgements for sure unless they fully understand the psychology behind people and children specifically. What might make sense to those who aren't completely informed might not make sense to those more informed.
Honestly, I do think kids shouldn't be lied to and overprotected but they should be taught and protected. You can keep your kids naive or you can do things the wrong way and you can do them the right way.
@abbybroncos I disagree. Ignorance is dangerous. Worst still, ignorance of this sort always ends and rather roughly. Children should know the facts and accept the world. Not in grim fatalism, but in the serene peace of true nature. Illusions fade, sadness and depression follow. Teach them the truth, however, and more importantly how to not resist or reject it, then they will know how to have peace for a lifetime.
@abbybroncos I agree with everything you've just said except for one thing: what do you mean there aren't good things in the world? There are lots of 'em, evn if there are also many bad things.
@abbybroncos I think your Being Alittle Ignorant to declare that there arnt any Good Things in the world. U tgubj the fact that the Sky is still blue is a Good thing it Self. You just need to find the joy to acnollage it.
@TweetXBird I didnt mean there arent ANY good things, because there sure are, im sorry if it sounded that way, i meant some things in the world arent good (a lot of things) But i was saying that even though there arent good things in the world it doesnt mean that kids should grow up thinking that way, they should grow up being able to believe in fairy tales, and santa, instead of having all the troubles in the world shoved down their throats, or watching cartoons that have so many issues.
@abbybroncos Soooooooooo how are we enjoying this movie? Where is this bliss coming from.
Funny enough this is a Seventies movie that's the hippie love cures all age. (Of course, I know where most their bliss comes from but that not always the case.)
Anyone else notice (yes I have read the book many times) that in the movie, there are like 15 that leave, and only 6-7 of the original "mutineers" at the end, though only the movie's added Violet is killed?
The British are lucky. They understand american movies perfectly. Americans on the other hand often have to resort to the close caption button to get through a British film. Ever watch one of their cockney soap operas? Greek would be easier for a Swede to understand.
The little touches make this great, the moorhen that pops out when they push the wood into the reeds, and th fact that all the birds singing in the dawn chorus are ones I recognise from actually being ON Watership Down!
Lost count of how many times I watched this as a kid, just never got bored of it. Don't reckon something like this could even get made now which is a real shame. In emotional terms it's like a Faberge egg in comparison to Pixar's styrofoam cup.
I hope that people know that this was actually a book first and a movie later. It is violent, but it's showing how nature is through the voice of the character's. I read this as a kid willingly, for some unknown reason. I wasn't counting on the movie being so violent, but I think I watched it when I was as young as 8 or 9 and only being traumatized by the heads in the borrow.
For 20 somethings who were born in the early 1980's, we didn't have a lot of bland happy movies.
I think too many people are under the misconception that this is solely a children's movie.
It was based, rather tightly, off a novel that wasn't really intended for children either. But just like Animal Farm, it's hard to film a live action movie with only animals as your actors, especially when they're supposed to have such intelligent conversations and interactions.
But the moment people see it's animated, and about hares (or 'bunnies') they always think it /must/ be suitable for children.
The author of this story was driving his children home and his children were bored so he made up the story on the journey home. Later he wrote the story down and published it as a book. The story doesn't have any secret meanings it's just a story. The author has explained many times how the story came about.
To the poster: Thanks for putting this on Youtube. I'm truly sorry to see all the facile comments. Perhaps if people also read the book, they would also realise what the story is about.

this is a good god damn movie. if we rnt gonna beat our kids at least let them watch this movie - its as encouraging as a boot in the heel to get to school :P cute, furry animals put into real-life situations. brilliant

this isnt too bloody violent for kids. reason i say that is whats the difference between this and watching national geographic channel or the animal planet shows of lions, cheetahs chasing down there prey and watch them eat em. ive seen many kids watch stuff like that but this movie shocks them? shit like this is life and human nature, nothing disturbing about it except the scene with the dog accidently hit the trigger on the hunters face. but whatever

Same studio and team is what I believe you meant. Although they gave Plague Dogs a drastically more realistic art style with the animals, which only made it all the more heart wrenching.

@cmsasuke17
The difference between the violence Animal Planet shows and the violence in this movie is that the cheetah and it's prey don't talk or have any human characteristics. Once something takes on human emotions it because more shocking when violent things happen to them.
ManMadeGod4 5 months ago
@cmsasuke17 the difference is that this is played as if the rabbits were humans. On animal planet the lions doesn't talk or have rules or politics wisch we humans got! Children doesn't relate these rabbits as rabbits, they relate them as humans because they talk and act in a more human way then in non cartoon features. here the charactars pick up a personality. on animal planet you don't see any personality or have you seen any lion being "humoristic"?

I see that a lot of people are like "Life isnt all sunshine and daiseys" blah blah blah, but sometimes ignorance is bliss. Everyone should know that there arent good things in the world, but thats what makes kids so happy, is the fact that they're ignorant, keep thinkin like that and all these kids will grow up to be sad, and depressed. You cant fix everything in the world, and knowing about it isnt going to fix it.

@abbybroncos True, but flat out lying aint gonna help them either, instead they should be teached the different sides of life.
Life aint allways fair and nice but there are allways some bright sides in it, also humor is especially good way of coping up with life (even if it starts to go near the levels of insanity).
whatewer23 7 months ago
@whatewer23 I never said i encouraged lying, all im saying is that kinda shouldnt have to think about things that are bad in the world until they're at a certain age (i dont know what age) Thats why there are good movies for kids, it keeps their spirits up, and keeps them happy, and seeing kids happy keeps adults happy ya know?

@abbybroncos You're generalizing. Knowing about bad brings knowledge of how to handle it. True, kids shouldn't be drowned with "Life isn't all sunshine and daisies," but keeping them completely sheltered and purposefully ignorant will bring harm as well, if a different kind. Besides, you can't keep *all* bad from a child's life - on the contrary. So, it falls to parents to be steadfast, wise, and discerning in this unfair world, so children can defend themselves readily and *healthily*.

@Kyuubi92 well said, that is where many budhist ideals come from, the buhda was a sheltered prince, when he saw the world for what it was he gained enlightenment and tried to help every one, budism is not as much a religion as a way of life.

@abbybroncos I watched this movie when I was a kid and guess what. All i remember was bunnies getting killed and blood everywhere. Little kids cant grasp internal meanings. Idk what kids your referring to when you say kids that watch happy movies grow up depressed because everyone i know is happy and are not depressed. Kids dont need to understand that stuff. Im not staying you should lie to them and say oh yeah when you get older life will be easy and the world is perfect i know its far from it

Ignorance and bliss are at their core evil. It is following the path of light and true wisdom, which will lead to enllghtenment and piece of mind.
TheIntruders 6 months ago
@abbybroncos I agree that there are things in this world you cannot fix, but being ignorant fixes nothing and the key to knowing the difference between what you can fix and what you cannot is... knowing.
That being said, I do agree we need to be careful how to ease our children into the complexities of the world. Still, come to think of it, as an artist, I think Watership Down had a profound effect on me having seen it at such a young age. Perhaps we sometimes need a shock or two in life...

@abbybroncos Kids really should learn about the bad things early, in my opinion. That way, it won't come as quite a shock when the world fucks them over and kicks them in the stomach. I myself would rather be sad in my knowledge, than happy in my ignorance.
JACEH123 4 months ago
@JACEH123 In my opinion people shouldn't be making these judgements for sure unless they fully understand the psychology behind people and children specifically. What might make sense to those who aren't completely informed might not make sense to those more informed.
Honestly, I do think kids shouldn't be lied to and overprotected but they should be taught and protected. You can keep your kids naive or you can do things the wrong way and you can do them the right way.

mburs004 3 months ago
@abbybroncos I disagree. Ignorance is dangerous. Worst still, ignorance of this sort always ends and rather roughly. Children should know the facts and accept the world. Not in grim fatalism, but in the serene peace of true nature. Illusions fade, sadness and depression follow. Teach them the truth, however, and more importantly how to not resist or reject it, then they will know how to have peace for a lifetime.

@TweetXBird I didnt mean there arent ANY good things, because there sure are, im sorry if it sounded that way, i meant some things in the world arent good (a lot of things) But i was saying that even though there arent good things in the world it doesnt mean that kids should grow up thinking that way, they should grow up being able to believe in fairy tales, and santa, instead of having all the troubles in the world shoved down their throats, or watching cartoons that have so many issues.

I hope that people know that this was actually a book first and a movie later. It is violent, but it's showing how nature is through the voice of the character's. I read this as a kid willingly, for some unknown reason. I wasn't counting on the movie being so violent, but I think I watched it when I was as young as 8 or 9 and only being traumatized by the heads in the borrow.
For 20 somethings who were born in the early 1980's, we didn't have a lot of bland happy movies.

I think too many people are under the misconception that this is solely a children's movie.
It was based, rather tightly, off a novel that wasn't really intended for children either. But just like Animal Farm, it's hard to film a live action movie with only animals as your actors, especially when they're supposed to have such intelligent conversations and interactions.
But the moment people see it's animated, and about hares (or 'bunnies') they always think it /must/ be suitable for children.

@BubbleOnTheEdge
The author of this story was driving his children home and his children were bored so he made up the story on the journey home. Later he wrote the story down and published it as a book. The story doesn't have any secret meanings it's just a story. The author has explained many times how the story came about.
