Watership Down for the snowflakes

[NotAllThere]

Never seen the original, nor read the book. But how on Earth could anyone possibly have been traumatised by a story about a load of rabbits?

Blood, gore, mayhem, totalitarianism.

Watch the original cartoon - with young children if you have them.

Exactly. It's a cartoon. It aint for kids under about 12 or so. Worth watching though, and a good book.

Is the pie banned now too?

There! I KNEW it!

Must be true, there's a tory bus with it printed on the side, somewhere.

the world is full of magic rainbows and unicorns

Just as well we have a 'strong and stable government'.

"What a complete bunch of *******" said Danny Dyer hosting Have I Got News For You last week, probably in the extended edition.

As for Watership Down, not really meant for young kids that haven't already learnt by way of family pets about life and death, so like the tooth fairy and crimbo, some things are not meant to be learnt too soon. Let them pretend the world is full of magic rainbows and unicorns for a while longer.

Apparently the baby boomers on here were, and they want to keep it that way.

Seems like it’s only the snowflakes on here who are offended.

Films have been adapted and changed all the time. Disney’s interpretations of Hans Christian Anderson’s stories are well away from the original tales.

it is really just about time we stopped doing this

if they do not like historical books/films/plays etc being performed as they were intended then they need to go make their own.

But do not change the ones we love.
