Rabbit tale remake

-

Two films from my childhood really scared me. The first was Bambi and the second was Watership Down which for anyone who had a pet rabbit, was like watching a horror flick. But on the plus side, it had a beautiful theme song in the form of Art Garfunkel’s hauntingly beautiful Bright Eyes. Now this classic animated tale about a colony of rabbits under threat from their environmen­t and each other has been remade. I can’t bring myself to watch it yet but some of the awful scenes from the original film have allegedly been toned down. The new version is a four-part series and features the voices of MacKenzie Crook (The Office), Peter Capaldi (Dr Who), Olivia Colman (Broadchurc­h) and Gemma Chan (Humans). Streams on Netflix.
