Unironically a fantastic film and book though
That’s the good stuff, right there.
The janky animation was so off putting I never managed to actually watch that movie.
Reminds me of something from the opposite end of the lifespan. When I was young, they didn’t clear the theater after a movie, and they sometimes had “double features” where they’d alternate between two movies and you could watch both for one ticket price. My dad’s aunt lived with us (she was probably in her 70s at this point), and one day a couple of her friends picked her up to go watch “a double features of animal movies” at the local theater. They dropped her off some hours later and her face was grey - she said it was horrible, and didn’t want to talk about it.
It turned out the double features was Day of the Animals and Night of the Grizzly, basically both horror movies. They didn’t think they were allowed to leave during the movie, so they stayed through both.
I don’t know how but somehow I managed to avoid this one as a kid. I rented tons of videos and this one was square in the middle of them, but something about it made me avoid it like the plague. And this was long before internet, nor did any of my peers see it and tell me about it. Knowing how frail my mind was at that age, that was undoubtedly a good thing.
Same here, I have no clue how I avoided this one either. Maybe my parents guided me away every time I reached for it and I just don’t remember? I honestly don’t know.
My parents had it for us at home. What does that say?
Depends. Did they just put you in front of it when you were 4 or did they wait until you had reached a certain mental maturity and watched it with you?
I think they had the same view as the British rating agency : animation removes all worries
Did your parents get a kickback from your therapist?
They might have been after something. Alien proceeded the Empire Strikes Back on our childhood copy
Yep, Dr. Lipschitz was definitely giving parents kickbacks.
Watch it now, tell us if you are any less frail
Considering my current tastes in media, i doubt it’d do much. Although I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, even the animated kind.
Maybe the place where you rented movies had a version with this cover
Lol it did, this brings back memories. I also seem to remember a still image of a roadkilled bunny(?) on the back which threw me off. But maybe that’s just Mandela effect.
Still to this day this is one of my favorite books. I was given it as a kid because I had a pet rabbit. Bigwig is badass.
“Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!”
I still remember that even though it’s been over a decade since I last read the book. XD
Kids going to watch the bunny movie and instead learning what happens when you accidentally put male and female hamsters in the same cage.
They hug 🤗
really fast
After they hug too many times, the girl hamster starts to get a bigger belly and then tells the boy hamster to go away. Since the boy hamster can’t go anywhere, the girl hamster eats his face while you’re at school. The end.
Harden the fuck up, kids! It’s time to grow up.
It was some terrifying stuff. The vision Fiver has. Holy crap. Even the intro with Frith and the animals…it was dark but epic. Young me was scared shitless, but older me kind of liked it (And was also scared shitless).
Pairs well with a brave little appliance
Still my favorite animated film but I am a simple man.
Double featured with Pom Poko and you really hammer it home
I was a happy sun child before watching that… Afterwards I was emo and hated the world for existing.
If you watch the trailer it’s kinda clear it was not meant for kids. Watched it in 4th grade, loved it.
My mum did this. I made it to the first death (hawk) and ran crying into the kitchen where she was. I was 4.
Then my first husband did this! He got me the DVD and it is still unwatched in the plastic wrap.
My current husband downloaded plague dogs because it’s criterion and that rests unwatched on the hard drive because I cannot even watch anything by this director.
However, I did read the book Watership Down in college, and wasn’t traumatized. I also collect copies of the book Private Life of the Rabbit which Richard Adams used as a source book
Now available as a double pack with Plague Dogs!
