From the director of Watership Down, The Plague Dogs is a poignant, beautifully animated adaptation of another Richard Adams' best selling books with a vocal cast led by John Hurt and Christopher Benjamin.
Subjected to harrowing scientific experiments, two dogs make a flight for freedom from the animal research laboratory in which they are imprisoned. As they escape the lab they break a glass containing a deadly virus. Beyond the fences, hungry and terrified, Snitter (Hurt), a gentle Fox Terrier, and Rowf (Benjamin), an older, more cynical Labrador, soon discover that the outside world is not the haven they had hoped it to be.
Panic breaks out among the human population as news is spread that the dogs could be infected with the plague. Pursued at every turn, they are forced to retreat further into the wintry hills. They are befriended by The Tod (James Bolan) a wily but good natured fox who guides them through the rugged wilderness in their attempts to escape. Will they survive?

[@trailersfromhell2539]

Richard Adams was reportedly extremely pleased with the movie, actually more so than the adaptation of Watership Down, which he thought had some flaws.

[@jackepong6300]

Definitely because this was how he wanted his story to end. The only reason the book is different is because his publishers forced him to change the ending because it was too depressing. The director who took up adapting the film said Im going to give the real ending of this book to the world and he did. But then the price was nobody at the time liked the film.

Although its also implied the military on the beach shot the dogs while they went out into the surf and the drowning ending is not about them losing hope out at sea but trying to keep their hopes up on their journey to the afterlife.

[@fastdrumming]

Years after watching this I know realize what the author meant. Its a beautiful movie of adventure. Those dogs had a predetermined destiny and decided to go in their own terms. They were masters of their own fate. Which is more than most people ever get to do in life. The world was mean to them but they had each other. Thats all anyone needs. A friend. A partner that will follow you anywhere, even to death. A beautiful movie with a great message of hope for change and real love for one another even when facing adversity in every direction. It was hard to watch but nonetheless, it was one of the best life changing movies I've seen

[@madaraagar1642]

​@@lunathepurpledragon5843They weren't. They had tons of crying and traumatised kids in the cinemas. And the parents had to leave early. This is a reason why the film was a flop back then. And they showed the uncut version in the cinemas. The film got cut and made for older children (12 years (at least in Germany) later. Back then they told the parents the film was for 6 years olds. I've never watchted it till yesterday because I knew it was cut so drastically. In the US they only cut one cruel scene and just took charge that it wasn't that long because children don't have a long attention span. The Germans took the film from them and cut the most cruel scenes out because it was too cruel for children. The uncut version was only to see at the cinemas and on the oldest video cassettes. But a few years ago they brought the uncut version out to buy and I found the English uncut version on KZbin (someone uploaded it). So I watched it.
