The movie of the week this time is WATERSHIP DOWN!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078480/

I remember growing up watching this film, and to this day it freaks me out. If you didn't know any better you would probably think this is a happy kid's film about cute rabbits having a lovely adventure. Well it is that kind of, but it is also a very brutal film about death with some fairly complex spiritual metaphors that most kids probably don't get. These rabbits have hopes, and dreams of living a better life, and sadly many of them go through some pretty horrific violence. Art Garfunkle composed a song for the film called "Bright Eyes" that is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to see one of the best animated films ever. I don't know if it is really for kids since it can be very bloody, and the plot tends to drag a bit at times but I grew up watching it so it can't be that bad. You should also read the book by Richard Adams.
