...not as sad as the end of The Plague Dogs though! That film left me in tatters. Why was Martin Rosen not allowed to make more animated films is ridiculous.
@TheSpecialGuestStars Yeah it's a shame how hardly anyone knows Plague Dogs. The story, animation and atmosphere really deserved the same amount of attention.
Part of this song played in Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. They were originally gonna play all of this song for a scene where Gromit was sadly walking home, believing that Wallace was dead. Just hearing this song makes me wish they could've done this.
why should we keep our children in a bubble/fairy land.... this film shows the true reality with animals & the only major thing separating us from the animals, is our ability to speak. sorry kids... rabbits don't talk!! I wish this bright eyes song could be my alarm so my tears could wash away the sleep in my eye's.
one of my very first memories of my entire life is watching this film.... and i found it beautiful from the very first moment...... still do...*tear drops*
One of the saddest if not the saddest things ive ever seen in my whole life. Always brings a tear to my eye, great song and great film. Thanks for posting :)
Oh I think I see Hazle soon. I don't think he's dead either, he's out there somwhere, in the meadows, Becaus eI saw the movie and the bird i think plucks the shot gun bolts out and they find Hazle.
who the hell were the 6 people who disliked whoever you are you have no heart no soul and probabably a terrible taste in music to evryone else Merry Christmas have a good one
:'') thanx for posting. I'm reading this book right now. I barely remember watching this as a kid, but it def left a lasting impression! Iv been trying to find the whole movie, is LOVE 2 c it again!
I only have a very hazy memory of watching this as a child and bawling upon seeing this scene then. I can't even remember the plot. So I happened by this video now and and crying as I type!
@Beautymoon1000 I left out Campion bcoz in the book Bigwig and Hazel like Campion bcoz hes a brave and skilled fighter and a loyal captiain of owsla and at the end he becomes chief of efrafa and agrees to let watership down and efrafa coexist in peace so he's kind of an anti hero
It's hard to comprehend Garfunkel's "not liking" the song. He was reputed not to have liked "Bridge Over Troubled Water" as well. Hmm. Can't say much for his judgement?
Sounds like "Songwriter's Jealousy" to me.
What a beautiful song about Death, in all its manifestation, mystery, and finality. I'd never heard it before clicking on a related video. This movie wasn't big in the US.
I think this is the best version of the song. Art Garfunkel's voice is beautiful on it, inspite of the fact he apparently didn't even like the song. His single release was a tad cheesy, but here with the film score intertwined..?
@winterjargon I think it's beauty bothered him, how others would judge it.When you share something this deep from you, you will be found a little wary, well some artists.
@winterjargon Completely agreed. Angela Morley's score for this film is brilliant, and this version of "Bright Eyes" is by far the best. And the introductory sequence is superb too: when Dandelion and Blackberry look at each other at 0:50 ... wow.
And how his view is distorted with pain because mine was as well when I lost him. It was the worst loss of my life. That's why this scene means so much to me.
This scene means a lot to me, because this is how I reacted when I lost my childhood friend, and cousin. We grew up and played together all the time, and in the scenes I feel like I'm fiver, chasing after the black rabbit (my cousins ghost) and I'm trying to chase him because when I found out I was crying running far away. The scenes of the two rabbits chasing each-other is my cousin and and I playing, I'm chasing him because I don't want him to go as his ghost is floating over us playing.
Love this old style of animation, where it looks like a moving painting. Although, when I realize the cartoons I watched as a kid...Watership Down, Land Before Time, and The Brave Little Toaster...it's no wonder I have a heavy outlook on life now haha
This Movie is so wonderful and sad, i just love it :D I have it on DVD but i think this movie is NOT for Kids. Its very scary and brutal i think ;) Btw i love these song. It makes me cry...(Greetings from germay and i hope my english is okay)
Oh my god... I was listening to bleach I put this on and it looked like in the beginning Fiver were saying Ichi's line and one of the others his dad... O.o PERFECT lip syncing...
I just heard another version of this song and immediately thought of Watership Down...a movie I haven't seen in about 15 years. I should watch the whole thing now
@dazzac46 I was going to have this at my mum's service but my best friend's mum was there and this was at my best friend's service a year prior and we didn't want to upset her mum too much in one day so we picked Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Eva Cassidy and some others instead. :)
@raychibabe Hi Raych,remember the line- 'Hazels not dead' - they are up there somewhere and now they are at peace. I lost my cat yesterday and I am devastated. I hope your pain goes but the memory of your friend remains x x
Even thought it is meant to be a representation of human life, there is something so innocent about animals, especially flight creatures like rabbits.
This song reminds me so strongly of the death of my horse. Suddendly the light in his eyes was gone, she seemed tired and he almost seemed to be waiting. He died peacfully in his best years . Rest In Peace Lindos, my companion for 6 wonderful years <3
The animated films back in the old days are so different from most modern animated films. To me it feels like artists forgot how to enchant the viewers, relying too much on cheap comedy and computer enhanced graphics.
The animated films that recently became popular are exceptions and clearly display the love to the genre of storytelling in all facets.
Owh hell. This song brings back all my painful memories of loss, hurt and death. The fact that a real friend never lets go of another just touches me deep.
WTF... people are getting all emotional and nostalgic?? This movie is good but seriously fucked up if you watch it as an innocent little kid expecting cute fluffy bunnies. It was like god said to me... "BAM HERE'S LIFE FOR YOU MOTHAFUCKA"
I'm a 37 year-old English singer living in Galway, Ireland. I'm working hard on my singing and would very much appreciate any honest critical feedback from real Watership Down fans on my version of Bright Eyes here on Youtube to help me improve. (Just type my name.) It was recorded a while ago now, and every singer must think they can do better later on, but there it is. Thank you very much for any feedback offered. Andrew Hawcroft. (A devout Artist Against Autotune)
I don't see why this is so sad: (I read the book in 1978, and saw the film in May 1979) -Hazel is not dead, and it is Fiver who has these visions, knowing where to look for where to find him: Hazel is hurt, and lying in a ditch inside a pipeline, and Fiver, being the clairvoyant 'bright eyes', finds him and brings him home :)
@Pheenixz i'm 32 and I always used to be a crying wreck at this scene, the mixture of realising what was happening, the imagery and the music just got to me each time...I used to forward this part after a while:)
I've never even heard of this movie before. And I bet no one would even be able to guess how I found out about it. Besides that though, this does look pretty interesting..I think I might watch it some day.
This first time I saw this movie I was about 7 years old. I'm 35 now and its still one of my favorite movies of all time and this song still brings tears to my eyes.
This is in my opinion, the best animated movie ever. Disney will always have a special place in my heart, but no disney movie has anything on this movie. The only other movie I think can compete with watership down is the Plague Dogs, incidentaly, both movies were made by the same team of people, and Had JOHN HURT!!!!
i love this movie i remember the first time i saw it i think i was 3 or 4 and there wasnt a part in the movie that i dident cry about but, i did sleep after it, ive never had nightmares after watching a movie but i did cry my self to sleep, i do every time even now and im turning 15.
Oh, Christ, this song kills me. I can't watch it without getting choked up. Get this- I saw this scene first out of context with the rest of the film, and I STILL wept like a child.
I remember seeing this as a kid and being so mysteriously drawn to it. It was so dark and chilling, but yet so simple and beautiful. I would go to the public library with my Mom and pick out this movie over and over again...
@drmplaya34 i know its very eerie and it taught me about death and sadness when i was 3 or 4, made me cry a lot. Very sad, but amazing. It was especially weird and wonderful at the start. And the bits when u see the blood dripping out and down from the moon, very strange. Was it intended for kids? surely not tho. Bit upsetting this film xx
This film teaches us the matter of life and death but when I was like 6 I watched this film and I was so scared I was scared to go into the back garden on my own,
I remeber watching this when I was little and it made me cry my heart out if I remember correctly and I wouldn't let my rabbit out of my sight for weeks lol nd wenever i watch it now I still cry
When i was younger, i loved the Watership Down series. But sometimes i was pretty scared. There was the rabbitt with his creepy eye..Couldn't get it out of my mind.
...not as sad as the end of The Plague Dogs though! That film left me in tatters. Why was Martin Rosen not allowed to make more animated films is ridiculous.

I've never even heard of this movie before. And I bet no one would even be able to guess how I found out about it. Besides that though, this does look pretty interesting..I think I might watch it some day.

This first time I saw this movie I was about 7 years old. I'm 35 now and its still one of my favorite movies of all time and this song still brings tears to my eyes.

This is in my opinion, the best animated movie ever. Disney will always have a special place in my heart, but no disney movie has anything on this movie. The only other movie I think can compete with watership down is the Plague Dogs, incidentaly, both movies were made by the same team of people, and Had JOHN HURT!!!!

Oh, Christ, this song kills me. I can't watch it without getting choked up. Get this- I saw this scene first out of context with the rest of the film, and I STILL wept like a child.

I remember seeing this as a kid and being so mysteriously drawn to it. It was so dark and chilling, but yet so simple and beautiful. I would go to the public library with my Mom and pick out this movie over and over again...

@drmplaya34 i know its very eerie and it taught me about death and sadness when i was 3 or 4, made me cry a lot. Very sad, but amazing. It was especially weird and wonderful at the start. And the bits when u see the blood dripping out and down from the moon, very strange. Was it intended for kids? surely not tho. Bit upsetting this film xx

It's Art Garfunkel's ghostly, echoing singing that is the most tear-welling part of this in my opinion.

When i was younger, i loved the Watership Down series. But sometimes i was pretty scared. There was the rabbitt with his creepy eye..Couldn't get it out of my mind.

This movie is like the real human's world. You never get tired of it coz it reflects how human's can act & feel in the real world.
