To think I shouldn't buy this bargain?

[Toadinthehole]

It's a DVD of Watership Down. Will I traumatise my kids by letting them watch it?

How old are the kids...?

It's not a bargain if you don't want it.

As a Bunny owner - it is beyond traumatising. Don't do that to you DC

There was a thread about this film a while back.

It is NOT a kids' film.

Don't do it. Gave me nightmares for years. Swirling rabbits with blood running out of their eyes is not suitable viewing for anyone, let alone children.

Don't buy it. Not even if it's 20p. Horrible film.

It's far too sad. I'm fully grown up. I've watched it once and shall avoid forever more.

I hate sad films though and do my best to avoid anything eye-watery.

God, no. Awful film.

Depends how much you hate your kids.

No no no no and no

It's a horrid film. I don't understand why anyone shows it to kids. Everyone I know who watched it when we were little is still pretty much traumatised 20 years later.

I remember being very upset watching this as a child. As an adult I bought it, paid £3 for it. 16 years on it's still in its cellophane wrap! Can't bring myself to watch it!

Can you afford the therapy and knowing they hate you a little bit if you facilitate them seeing it? It's been 25 years and I still haven't forgiven my DDad for sticking it on in front of me.

If your children are particularly sensitive I'd maybe avoid. I remember hiding when the river of blood / rabbits suffocating in their burrows bits were on. I will let my kids watch it I think - it's a good story and I like the film overall.

DD has seen it from an early age. If its the Rik Mayall version go for it.

It's a rite of passage. But if they're very young, save it for when they're a bit older.

Yeah, get it and let them watch it. Might make them empathetic towards rabbits which is much needed in a world that is pretty bloody awful towards them

I've never seen it , I can't even listen to Bright Eyes it's so depressing . It is not a children's film

Ahem

I watched it 33 years ago when I was 5. I'm still traumatised! I have it on DVD but the kids won't watch it as they know how bad I was 😂

Nooooooo. It's DARK.

Its a sad film, but I loved it when I watched it at the cinema when it first came out. Bright Eyes stuck in my head for ages. That said, it does have some horrible fights in it, with quite animated blood, and a very rude sweary bird.

Briiiiight Eyeeeeees.... fucking you up forever...

No no no no no no no! Did I say no?!

DD is 12 and she'd be utterly traumatised by this!

I am 40 and I am STILL not allowed to watch it.

It's rated 118.
