I haven't seen that movie or read the book in far too long...
Uhhmmm, actually I just found my way over here to say that I love the current storyline, but I got thrown by hearing people discussing Watership Down. Usually I mention the book or the movie and only get blank stares. Then I try to explain it...and...well, then people just look at me funny.
If I may drag you all back from <i>Watership Down</i> via animation and plants, may I be permitted to say that the fuzzball people series was one of the funniest sequences I've read anywhere in quite a while!
Watership Down is an Important Book. Everyone should read it. Everyone should also read "Hunter's Moon" by Garry Kilworth.
And to a lesser extent "Tailchaser's Song" by Tad Williams, which I really liked when I was younger but have gone off a bit now.
