Watership down/The Omen

[@BloatedSensations]

The message of Watership Down is more pertinent today than it was 30 years ago when this film was released. This film comes from the tail end of an era where it was thought that it is ok to teach children about, and prepare them for, the harsh realities of life - instead of protecting them, sheltering them, and raising them to be mindless consumers with no capacity for independent thought.

[@murli486]

I was around 6 yrs old when I saw this with my cousins. My mom rented it thinking it was just another cartoon for kids. I remember her and my aunt exchanging horrified looks when this part of the movie was on, but they were too stunned to turn it off. Lol... it was so scary and to this day I couldn't forget these scenes. This clip refreshes the memories further haha... man...

[@Neekioanime]

She'd seen it herself multiple times, and she openly confessed it was terrifying. Every time I bring it up she's like "Yeah, that film is traumatizing." She knew what she was doing.

[@mpwheatley]

On my 7th birthday in 1978 my parents took me to see this film. Apparently I didn't stop crying for a week afterwards, it didn't help that as a birthday present they bought me the LP which I played over and over again in my bedroom afterwards, blubbering the whole way through the soundtrack for hours on end. Even now I can't hear 'Bright Eyes' without flinching. My mother tells me that I said "I'm never going to be happy again" ! Oh dear.

[@pg9193]

For clarity: -The rabbits symbolize humanity's predicament -This is Fiver's vision of the apocalypse

[@horizoniki]

was happily celebrating something with my friends, surfing funny youtube stuff, until we ended up here...

[@ItsNicola]

Imagine some poor child watching this movie by mistake...

[@wildone9946]

I'm one of them

[@wildone9946]

one of the people that had watched it as a kid that it

[@2004sianb]

+Nicola yep. you know what happened to me then. when I saw this clip right now I was like:(ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻

[@AlexOjideagu2]

+Nicola It had a U rating in the UK for children

[@wildone9946]

ojideagu what is the U rating? That's not a thing in the USA. Sorry for sounding stupid. I really don't know

[@Tarroar]

oh my gosh the song so scary! and with the sceens you put with it it really suits like it made for it it gives me shivers but why can't i stop listing to it?!

[@Snakepimpuk]

It's probably the most beautiful animated film I have ever seen, for many reasons. It still gives me the creeps though. Some might say that's the beauty of it? I made it this way to reflect my own feelings of this film from when I was a child, because when I was about 7 or 8, it used to scare the crap out of me while still being one of my favourite films! :P

[@1Fresh_Water]

I pulled this up and instantly paused it. Nope. Nope. Nope. I'm not watching this before bed. What was I thinking?

[@rahma4]

Disney could learn a LOT from this movie. Chilling stuff, still scares me now, 9 years after I saw it the first time.

[@kingcaratacus]

The Down overlooks the village of Kingsclere in Hampshire, a few miles south of the town Newbury. Popular with kite flyers and owners of remote controlled aircraft!

[@bradlbe]

SOMEONE PLEASE DO A REMAKE OF THIS MOVIE BEFORE I DIE!! Make it with CGI realism and stay true to the story! Don't Disney it up! It would be epic on the scale of Lord of the Rings or Star Wars! No, it's not for kids! It's a tail of survival and friendship. The author used characters and events that he experienced in WWII.

[@OddlyIncredible]

[@perfpearl1015]

I mean I don't have to sleep ever again

[@deadandstilldying6o6]

Nope. in this day'n age they'd only ruin it, like every other re-make.

[@coler154]

this movie is like happy tree friends on steroids.

[@trashydumbsht7334]

Pretty terrifying for a movie about adorable creatures O_O

[@TheZelen]

Pokéhita's Trashkanal Ikr O.o

[@WillieManga]

Blood, menacing dogs, trains running over bunnies, trapped bunnies, bunnies clawing other bunnies, Woundwart so pissed off he looks like he's gone rabid (a rabbid rabbit)... HOW IS THIS A CHILDREN'S FILM!?!?

[@geoffrodriguez]

This is awesome. Truly gripping! Thank you. Gonna have to check out your other vids now!!!!

[@LydiaCross]

i suggest showing this to kids when they're at least old enough to understand - about 7 yrs +, other wise they simply wont understand it, and will be scared -.- when i first saw it about that age, i simply loved it ^^ its the truth about the world - unlike most other children's animations, the whole thing is truth, that nothing is perfect

[@Neekioanime]

I was about 8 years old the day my mother said "Oh, there's this film on about bunnies later. You should watch it-- You'll like it! It's for children." It had scarred my sister years before. I was trolled by my own mother. I changed after that day.

[@thecheekibreekiguy5048]

1:42 - One of the most disturbing images EVER.

[@Johnlindsey289]

The Cheeki Breeki Page What do you think of A Serbian Film or Urotsukidoji?

[@thecheekibreekiguy5048]

I dont understand what you mean

[@Johnlindsey289]

The Cheeki Breeki Page If you want really disturbing, you want a really shocking animated film see the NC-17 anime classic Urotsukidoji Legend of the Overfiend.

[@TyrannoWright]

The harsh reality of Nature.

[@obviouslydamon]

I feel queasy...

[@MsCathyheathcliffe]

i know people say 'i still can't watch this now' but i genuinly can't watch this without getting seriously creeped out. the whole movie creeps me out.

[@Cat-sama]

the warren they find at the end is the place Watership Down. the place actually exists as is in England somewhere

[@Beowulf095]

nice song where you found? =D

[@TheOrangeStopSign]

This is a great movie. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of watching it when I was a little kid. I was looking for something MILDLY dark, maybe a little violent. Couldn't find anything, so I rented Watership Downs innocently. At first I was all "aww whatever bunnies, okay", then I was like "..... :( mommyyyyyyy..." But now I love it.

[@Katiesmisfits]

I saw this when i was 5 at least i was brought up on it and looking back on it now and watching it again it gives you the chill's .. scary movie .. rabbits killing each other ..

[@lizzy1e]

They showed this in our school when I was little... I never saw rabbits the same way again after that.

[@Snakepimpuk]

Haha yeah. I didn't actually choose the music for this, I originally made it with 'sweet dreams' by marilyn manson (which I think you have seen) But a friend of mine suggested I tried it with this music 'cause he thought it would make it creepier so I did and it certainly is creepier. :)

[@Rikuhey]

I just finished reading this book, it was awesome..but I never though this animation would be this scary oO Looks scary as hell..but I think I still have to watch it.

[@DylanFromAZ]

This is where Walking Dead got their ideas from?

[@ajb1776]

The book is one of the great works of the late 20th century. I recommend to all. You will read it at least twice.

[@ScatterBrainedYouBetterFollow]

Is it just me, or did the Corus say; Komi Hami At 0:29?

[@meezus-ij9sf]

It sounds like it, but what does that mean?

[@ScatterBrainedYouBetterFollow]

Have you ever heard of Dragon Ball Z?

[@meezus-ij9sf]

ScaterBrain I've heard about it but I never watched it,

[@ScatterBrainedYouBetterFollow]

Well, "Komi hami" is a well known term among many games, movies tv shows, parodies, etc...

[@JustinsDVDandVHSOpenings2015]

No, its singing "Ave, ave versus Christus" (basically "hail, hail the antichrist" if you've seen the Omen :P)

[@juanandresvides2749]

Why is it called The omen?

[@MyAdbenture]

thats the song

[@HanaNamida]

The music makes this video much scarrier than it is

[@Jal8919536]

Jerry Goldsmith's Oscar-nominated "Ave Satani" goes with the (disturbing) footage (except for the last scene) since the movie it came from was released two years prior to "Watership Down".

[@Jefrma]

And the mom answers "sweetheart that is life. There´s no life without blood or death" "oh and the bunnies are fighting cause they don´t like eachother" that´s what I´d say

[@notroe2237]

I'm scarred. I feel like crying. I'm Scarred D,X

[@Arbiter567]

how did u get the footage for this? i want to use that song for my own home made omen movie. lol

[@Snakepimpuk]

Cool =] If you upload it on here you'll have to let me know when you've done it so I can have a looksy.

[@hiimjenki2]

My friend told me to watch this movie, i youtubed it first and saw this video. After watching the video i was like "WTF is this a movie about zombie rabbits" then i watched the the real movie and i was like "OHHHH" honestly, this music makes it seems like a whole different movie haha

[@bexluvsbreyers]

I LOVE this film... I have 2 rabbits and this film never fails to make me cry :'(

[@321Worlds]

Watership Down is a litterary masterpiece . These things happen in the book, and it is not this story that is fucked up, it is the fact that we should clearly recognise our own species and not rabbits in this story.

[@joshorthemighty8006]

Why does everyone of these clips have music dubbed over them?

[@zampmagic2873]

Watched this, felida, and more before I was ten. . . Why am I not vegan. . . ?

[@Gravedigger.]

wait did that rabbit leap at the dog...THAT WAS BADASS!!!

[@zpasquier2887]

No, this was based on a book for young adults and ... well, adults. Pretty violent but still one of the bestselling classics of all time.

[@Cat-sama]

no. just becuase its animated and has bunnies as the main characters doesn't mean its for children

[@lost2whispers]

The book was made for adults, so that tells you a bit about the movie itself. Read the book, ppl!

[@kelseygunter3321]

This movie traumatized me. You know the music at the beginning? I am in college, and that music still makes me feel ill.

[@8orodreth8]

oh my god. I watched it, when i was a young child, and i was really scared of this movie. I remembered the scenes in the first few minutes and i have to say, that i don't want that my child is watching this movie...

[@Ella_Karina]

Why did someone make this movie? I think this is nuts. :(

[@Johnlindsey289]

Why do you think animation is for kids? Watch Heavy Metal, Fire and Ice,Wizards, American Pop, South Park the movie, Ninja Scroll, Dark Knight Returns.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Bob The Smoker Agree. And those animations i mentioned even Watership Down and Duckman are definitely adult stuff

[@pezulapezula1053]

Ella Karina Ya kidding me? I love this movie, and I first got it when I was 5, and I was now 11. cx

[@Ella_Karina]

calm down people. i posted this comment ages a go just expressing my individual opinion. as a rabbit owner myself this scene just made me feel a bit depressed that's all. it was in my recommended one day and i don't know why.

[@pezulapezula1053]

Ella Karina I understand, and sorry for my comment. Just expressing my opinions and sorry to seem like I am trying to be rude. :)

[@Sindgoemon]

what the fuck kinda movie was this??????

[@solidoner1]

Yo mama's movie

[@Sindgoemon]

jimmy conway thats so stupid of a insult your IQ mustve dropped by 50

[@saintbabylon7250]

The kind of movie that they would never make today. The 70's had a lot of adult themed animations. Most Ralph Bakshi animations are my favorite growing up.

[@Sindgoemon]

Dark R&B clearly

[@Johnlindsey289]

Dark R&B What about South Park, Heavy Metal, Fantastic Planet, Gandahar aka Lightyears, Vampires in Havana, Akira, Ninja Scroll, Ghost in the Shell, Wicked City, Princess Mononoke etc.?

[@creepingdread88]

I was five when my mum took me to see this. If it came out now I think it would be a 18.

[@GrnDayChick18]

OMG, I only just heard of this movie, I never knew how violent it is! If you pause at certain scenes like before the hawk and dog get the rabbits, or the train, the expressions of horror on those poor rabbits' faces!! O.O

[@green15838]

I saw watership down when I was a kid in the early 80s and wow this cartoon messed with my head! I thought it was just another bunny movie boy I was wrong it was political with deep deep realization about life and death. It will rip you heart out!!

[@dashingdashplayz8595]

I used to love this movie!!

[@TheZelen]

*Looks at my plush bunny* Please don't kill me

[@tardiskeeper6]

is this a composite of clips or as it was arranged in the film?

[@daniellewilson2162]

Definitely a composite of clips!

[@pezulapezula1053]

Silver Moon A composite of clips.

[@chillococo]

May I ask what the scene with the rabbit heads is about? I am really curious

[@Dan-ky5es]

If by the rabbit heads trapped in the warren you mean... it's basically a psychedelic representation of how construction workers filled in the burrows to start building, however all the rabbits were still down there so they basically died a slow suffocation and couldn't get out at all. In their desperate efforts to find a way out they lodged and crammed between and on top of one another just to try and breath as much air as possible. Hope this helped haha.

[@c.d.silbernagel]

You forgot to mention that their phantom-like forms are representations of the gas that is being flooded into the Warren to kill them off. It drives the animals crazy. In the novel, that scene is far more graphic and heart wrenching.

[@federalthotpatrol6832]

Dan24 okay GET A LIFE AND STOP REPLYING TO THIS DAMN MESSAGE YOU ASS WIPE GO TO HELL YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT IVE SEEN BETTER THINGS COME OUT OF MY DOGS ASS

[@DerekEklund]

People need to show this to their kids along with Plague Dogs. Disney teaches you nothing, this shows a kid how life really is.

[@berryparfait]

I watched this when I was something like 6 or 7, can't quite remember... And I was so scared at some parts of it XD I've always remembered how Bigwig got gaught in that trap and almost choked to death and how all the rabbits got buried alive... But never had a single nightmare about it though.... Loved the movie none the less, even when I was smaller, but my brother (who was 5 when he watched it with me XD) never really learned to appreciate it... I wonder why... X'D

[@WaPow132]

2:28 you can hear the chorus say "suck on it!"

[@Arbiter567]

dude me and my friend are making our own omen movie with this song and iron maiden's # of the beast

[@RobotsWithCookies]

This was awesome! Very nice job! :D

[@MahPinkBUNNIE]

this movie kicked ass! This was probably in one of my top ten. This movie was definetly not for kids. This movie was so wise and it told the story of how wild rabbits live and how much it sucks. :) (Im not the best at giving summaries)

[@izzycullen25]

i watched this when i was five and it terrified me, and i cried.

[@linkexex]

The movie is badass i saw it when i was 8 yearsold.

[@MrJebediahKerman123]

What's happening to them at 0:45

[@Makkara91]

the humans fill the holes where the rabbits try to escape to and they run out of air and die

[@themaninthesuit5729]

It's gas. The people fill the holes that they can find and then gas the barrow.

[@MrJebediahKerman123]

***** Gabe, can you count to 3?

[@JonoB23]

I saw this film when I was like, 10... And people wonder why I'm a bit odd... Really good vid

[@tringlio7065]

I was thinking of having a pet bunny, but I think I will stick to a goldfish now •_•

[@orkavorn]

yeh, i never forgot that either:) i love that part

[@platypussy3831]

You have to teach children about slaughter at some point...

[@theyoung1s14]

a moving piece of an animated film plus i says its for children but i find it funny that the bird kee haa's first words in this film are "PISS OFF!"

[@danielareyes2675]

this is for childrens?

[@zpasquier2887]

Man, that guy from I Love The 70s was right. This music can make anything scary.

[@Swuzzie]

love this film but it scared the shit outa me as a kid, even now it gives me the creeps.

[@BeatleMania117]

Ahh I love the movie, and book. :D I saw the movie when I was 8. Ever since, Ive been obsessed with bloody cartoons and death metal... ^.^ Anyhow, this is one of my favorite stories of all time, and I think everyone over 13 should watch the movie and read the book :D

[@GeniusRKO39]

C´mon guys, this movie is not that horrible! Try to read the book and you find an awesome world and a great adventure :D

[@Porkleaker]

My mom rented it for me a dozen times when I was a kid. That explains my morbidity and fascination with death, uh-oh..The guards are telling me to get off the computer now. Later - Gary Ridgway

[@thewonderfundle]

Watreship down shall forever be known as the movie that fucked up my childhood.

[@Snakepimpuk]

I AM blackrose20, lol. A friend of mine wanted me to try it with The Omen music which is why the videos are the same, more or less.

[@ashleighstiel8544]

I still find this film as disturbing as it was when i was a kid

[@mikeburke4800]

I sense nightmares in my future...

[@DiscipleOfHeavyMeta1]

That was horrifying and creepy.

[@solidoner1]

Yo mamas horrifying and creepy

[@paulcorr6246]

like ur empty head .. this is art babe

[@DiscipleOfHeavyMeta1]

Veinur b At no point did I ever say it wasn't art.

[@nataliajohnson9165]

Ppl that r insulting fuck off bitches and come at me haters cause im standing up geez

[@caseyrouse1483]

I missed it on channel 5

[@cbflanagan]

Yeah, my parents rented the movie for me and my younger sisters and cousins. I was fine but my sister was up all night terrified. And it definitely would have scared me if I was younger when I saw it. It's definitely gorier than your average kid's movie but it's not bad, just unexpected for a movie about bunnies.

[@obviouslydamon]

That’s ok... I didn’t need sleep anyways.

[@pertuk]

Great vid, Watership Down totally freaked me out when I was about 11.

[@kyleman223]

I AM SO GOD DAMN CONFUSED.

[@Johnlindsey289]

You think this is shocking stuff? What other animated stuff like South Park the movie, Heavy Metal, American Pop, Dark Knight Returns, Ninja Scroll, Wizards etc.?

[@TENSHl]

This is for children, that's the difference.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Its still an adult animated movie

[@TENSHl]

***** What? No, it is a children's movie based off of a children's book… Heavy Metal, Wizards, and Ninja Scroll are most definitely only for adults.

[@Johnlindsey289]

What about Spawn TAS and South Park the Movie? and you sure it's a kids book as it's mainly a mature book i should say.

[@wizy123456789]

i dont know about spawn and TAS but south park is most definitly NEVER been for children. south park has always been for older people. i dont even think it had a tv rating of MA.

[@nalaoptimistic211]

The music kinda fits perfectly well with the video... (But its kinda giving me the cringe 😨)

[@completedoofus111]

bro i watched shit like this and courage the cowardly dog when i was a kid, idk why but i wasn't traumatized

[@MondoBeno]

Watership Down may be a cartoon, but it's not for kids.

[@Grayfox621]

my mom bought this for me when i was like 8... mental. trauma. (i love it now though; an absolute masterpiece/a horrifying rabbit slaughter)[who new those two phrases worked so well togethar. >_> i still have it on the old VHS... good shit.

[@lexi533]

who needs sleep anyway...crying

[@slimithy12]

listen i watched this when i was 5. i had already watched predator, aliens and terminator but none of those gave me nightmares.....this did. this film is disturbing for anyone of any age!

[@annatownend1041]

yes

[@TheRealMrKill]

well childeren, now we know that a bunny's live isn't fun

[@altarush]

I agree.

[@2004sianb]

WHAT IS THIS?! I WATCHED A BIT OF IT ON EASTER AND SEARCHED IT TO SEE WHAT IT ENDED LIKE AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN IT?! WHO MADE THIS HORRIFYING FILM?!

[@DorianCairne]

@72AxelGriff No, to be honest it really isn't - though of course, it has cartoon rabbits, so a lot of parents assumed it was purely from that. Big mistake.
