Watership Down

New 4K restoration of Richard Adams’ timeless novel, brought brilliantly to life as Hazel, Fiver and Bigwig tackle the brutal realities of the rural world - and humankind’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, we are proud to present this British animation classic! Not for the faint-hearted, this has been officially recategorised as PG so make sure you are ready with your hankies!

"Watership Down stands alone as a horizon never reached - a portal into what animation can be, could be: an art form. It fuels the hope for that future. A delicate, violent, savage confection - perfect and sharp, like a diamond knife" - Guillermo del Toro (Pinocchio, The Shape of Water)

"An overwhelmingly emotional experience" - Andrew Haigh (All of Us Strangers, 45 Years)
