Not all cartoons are pleasant viewing. 1978's Watership Down, about nature red in tooth and claw, traumatised children everywhere. And since the song from the film, Bright Eyes, was number one for six weeks in early 1979 we had to endure dead bunnies every Thursday on TOTP.

Any Watership Down fans?
I got this brain bug in my head yesterday thinking of how many sphynx have been lost, especially to heart conditions. And it wouldn't leave me until I sketched it.
Thinking of making this a holographic rainbow sticker as it feels a bit big for a pin.

A while ago I watched the Netflix version of Watership Down, and I liked it, and when I went to watch it I saw a lot of people talking badly just for listening to a review from a youtuber, that's basically what I think

Also it looks like Spring Bonnie, that was not my intention

'Something about the world today
Make a boy feel a bit insane
From daffodils to acid rain
To antichrist on a tidal wave
But that’s all right, that’s okay
-
There lies a place I might call home
With a couple of sticks and a couple of stones'

Watership Down by is one of those prints we regularly get asked about, and for good reason! Our first screenprint release for a book was officially licensed through the estate of Richard Adams, and it is such a beautiful print.

Richard Adams, who died only 4 years ago, would have been 100 today. The deuteragonist of Watership Down, Fiver, has sixth sense and prophetic dreams that Sandleford Warren will be destroyed, but nobody believes him: Adams said he was based on the Greek figure of Cassandra.

4 of the most traumatising animated scene from my childhood, with two from the same scene in Watership Down because FUCK https://t.co/awL3GSlBAA

The rabbits being buried alive in Watership Down, Gollum screaming at Bilbo in The Hobbit, the children with the button eyes on Coraline, and Aurora being idk hypnotized or controlled or lured to the spinning wheel in Sleeping Beauty terrified me.

Oh my gosh. Watership Down.

Then, scenes from The Secret of Nimh, The Last Unicorn and The Fox and The Hound. The 80's were rough on kids.

Sheesh, err:

▪️The ending explosion from Metropolis

▪️The dog attack from Watership Down

▪️The Doc Ock reveal in Spiderverse

▪️The opening to Belleville Rendezvous

for various reasons, not just the animation, but tone and composition.

Nobody asked for a .hack adaptation of Watership Down, but I don't do what people ask for. My only allegiance is to my hideous art goblin impulses.
