Your about is so interesting!! I love stories about animals and humans (have you seen the French animated film Zarafah? It’s a pretty magical tale of a young boy’s friendship with a giraffe, while also touching on subjects like slavery, poaching, etc.). This is also why I was so drawn to the Pokemon anime (despite the “cockfighting” poor taste jokes folks make about it, they’re more like trainers and athletes...).

I didn’t grow up with Watership Down, but I’be definitely been curious about it!! It’s nice to hear/read more nuanced things about it than just “gory shock film for kids” takes.

I've never heard of Zarafa. From the Wikipedia page it was made after I stopped watching animated films and moved on to science fiction and fantasy instead, so no. Watership Down has also been made into a cartoon series that lasted three seasons in the late 90's/early 2000's. I didn't watch it then because I had moved on to other things, and it was also made into a cgi series by the BBC that was aired in December,

2018 and shown on Netflix. (It hasn't been released on DVD yet and I've no idea if it will, but I keep checking.) I don't think that most of the people who say the film is gory have bothered reading the book, and neither are really for children even if it is marketed to people that way. Richard Adams also wrote a book with a series of short stories in it set after Watership Down and a I also have a non-fiction nature

diary that he wrote.
