FEATURE : TOP 10 ANIMATED FILMS - No. 4


4.

Watership Down (1978)

Beating down "Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were Rabbit" (2006) to being what Film Apt. considers the best British animated film, "Watership Down" is a childrens' film that is brave enough to provide a darker view of the world. A film that's aimed at children that deals with themes of death and violence in a mature way is only to be applauded. As with all the films in this list "Watership Down" features lovable characters but what separates it from the others is that it takes those characters and goes in directions with them that other animated features wouldn't dare.



And is Kehaar the seagull not the best wise cracking sidekick of all time?

Hazel: Are you hurt?

Kehaar: Kaah kaah!

Hazel: If he's hurt, maybe we ought to help him.

Bigwig: A bird? What for?

Hazel: We....help....you.

Kehaar: Piss off!



Donkey, eat your heart out.
