Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Heeding the warning of a vision of their old home's destruction, a warren of rabbits led by Hazel (Ian Shaw), his brother Fiver (Andrew Falvey) the visionary, the ever inventive doe, Blackberry (Sue Elliott-Nichols), and Bigwig (Stephen Mangan), a former member of their old home's military class, go in search of a new home. With the help of new found friends like Kehaar (Rik Mayall) the gull and Hannah (Jane Horrocks) the mouse, Fiver's vision leads them to a home called Watership Down. Now, Hazel and his friends must establish their warren and protect it from the threats they face which include humans, predators, and especially the menace of a tyrannically militaristic warren led by the merciless General Woundwart (Sir John Hurt and Nigel Pegram).

| Trivia | When the series premiered, the producers took pains to reassure potential audiences that unlike the theatrical movie, which is notorious for its bloody violence and weighty themes, the main characters in this version would survive their adventures unscathed. See more » |
