Much like Richard Adams's wonderful novel, this animated tale of wandering rabbits is not meant for small children. It is, however, rich storytelling, populated with very real individuals inhabiting a very real world. The animation is problematic, sometimes appearing out of proportion or just subpar; but it seems to stem from an attempt at realism, something distinguishing the film's characters from previous, cutesy, animated animals. A band of rabbits illegally leave their warren after a prophecy of doom from a runt named Fiver (Richard Briers). In search of a place safe from humans and predators, they face all kinds of dangers, including a warren that has made a sick bargain with humankind, and a warren that is basically a fascist state. Allegories aside, <i>Down</i> is engaging and satisfying, and pulls off the same amazing trick that the novel did--you'll forget that this is a story about rabbits. <i>--Keith Simanton</i>
Viewer Reviews
This book works on every metaphorical level. It is a masterpiece for anyone to have written.
