An apocalyptic vision pushes a group of rabbits to abandon their warren in search of a new home in this landmark British animation, now restored in 4K. Richard Adams’ timeless novel is brought brilliantly to life as Hazel, Fiver and Bigwig tackle the brutal realities of the rural world – and mankind’s devastating impact on it – as they lead their colony to the utopian Watership Down.

Featuring an acclaimed voice cast (including John Hurt and Denholm Elliott), a powerful score by composer Angela Morley and the hit single ‘Bright Eyes’ by Art Garfunkel, Watership Down is a thrilling tale of adventure, courage and resilience that continues to enthral new and old audiences alike.

Newly restored by the BFI and Silver Salt Restoration using the original 35mm negative and stereo audio tracks.
