Frighteningly Bloody
The 1978 Warner Bros. animated film version of Watership Down is super violent. Hey, though, if you want to present an almost 500-page story in less than two hours, there will be no danger of sugarcoating or fairy dust sprinkling or otherwise softening things up.
Excerpt
Based upon Richard Adam's novel of the same title, this animated feature delves into the surprisingly violent world of a warren of rabbits as they seek to establish a new colony free of tyranny and human intervention.
