This animated adaptation of Richard Adams’ classic novel follows a group of rabbits that illegally leave their warren after one of them has apocalyptic visions. Together they must brave the outside world as they search for a new home.
Despite being an animated film about rabbits, this is not really intended for small children. It’s a dark, sad, often violent story. The animation is a little dated, but the film’s power remains.
Grade: A-
