Richard Adams was reportedly extremely pleased with the movie, actually more so than the adaptation of Watership Down, which he thought had some flaws. - @Monday, November 20, 2017 5:08 PM

From the creators of the much loved watership down. Kids will love this sad, gory fun loving film! (Sarcasm btw, stop animal abuse.) - @Saturday, September 16, 2017 9:39 AM

this is basically partnership down but its the same company so I don't care - @Monday, July 24, 2017 12:11 AM

Did this trailer seriously called Watership Down a "special kind of movie magic?" Dude, the movie is most likely in the same mentality of reality where animals get brutalized and killed. This movie is the same thing, except more about animal abuse where Watership Down was more about the dangers of nature. Don't hear me wrong, I love these movies...but c'mon guys, movie magic my ass. - @Friday, June 30, 2017 4:20 AM
