'True meaning' of Watership Down revealed ahead of TV revivalReaders thought story was cryptic allegory, but its creator was firm: ‘It’s just a story about rabbits’The 1978 animated version of Watership Down holds a particular place in the cultural psyche of an entire generation. Everyone remembers the hopelessly sentimental Art Garfunkel theme song. Many will never forget the trauma of witnessing big-eyed bunny rabbits being mercilessly and bloodily slain.The 1978 animation, featuring the voices of John Hurt and Richard Briers, was scarringly graphic.Producers have suggested the new version, a BBC/Netflix co-production, will be less violent. There will also be more comedy and more prominent female characters.The programme will be shown on on Saturday 22 December and Sunday 23 December.
