OT: Watership Down Review

Dodgy CGI animation, rabbits that don't resemble real rabbits, voices that don't sound at all right for their characters, anti-men references, Jewish concentration camp allusions, anti-capitalist slant, implausible escape sequences, superfluous Scottish seagull character.

Did I miss anything?

The EU funding?

Is this old classic film or a new rendition? When I saw it was on I passed if it was the old one. It looked at the time like it had been animated in the dark and had ugly rabbits and lots of ridiculous crap added.

Not a fan of the book, so I guess it was only to be expected.. Lets have some happy films for the holidays. Brian

do cartoon animals usually resemble real animals?

Little resemblance. Cartoon people usually only have three fingers and a thumb on each hand. Except in Japan.

CGI animation is susceptible to the "uncanny valley".

It's *not* a cartoon!

Disney had it down to a super-fine art. This is the standard the Beeb should have been aiming for:

Thanks for that - superb!

I keep seeing trailers and clips on TV of computer-animated films made for children, all of which look absolutely ghastly. All actions, facial expressions, voices are as exaggerated and American as they can be. I pity the paying parents who have nothing better to take their children to.

It's a new version using CGI rather than cartoons.

Yeah, rape and forced labour/slavery. Not something I'd want my children exposed to, thank you.

Although I do have a copy of Watership Down. It's worked several times to get a girl into bed. You play the film them then they think I am sensitive and kind and they drop their knickers.

I don't know how old you are, but I'm the wrong side of 50 but still, remarkably, get hit on by young birds in their late teens and twenties. And I'm not the only one I'm sure. Seems these birds have decided their contemporary males' future prospects are so s**te if we don't get out of the EU that they're not worth serious consideration. So I personally don't need to resort to subterfuge, but I *do* admire your ruse, though. You're obviously a resourceful and ingenious bloke.

And it's no exaggeration to say I get more action with the crumpet today than I ever got in my twenties. It's a massive ego boost!

Well in the old film many of them apparently looked like they had no brain and it had been replaced by a yellow light shining through the eyes, no doubt where the song Bright Eyes came from. Indeed the best part of the animation of the original was the music. As I say though never saw the point in the book, it was obviously written by a manic depressive on medication. Brian
