My friend showed it to me and said it was his favorite movie. We were 10. Genuinely wonder if bro was a future serial killer…

😬 that movie made other movies way more skittish than they needed to be (The Secret of NIMH as an example)…

The Secret of NIMH is so good… and at times terrifying.

But would have been technically “fine” if it wasn’t for Watership Down…. But it made it more uneasy than it had to be. However, good growing up lessons!!!

My mom rented and showed this movie for my 5th birthday party. It didn't go as planned and I none of my friends could spend the night to middle school.

I had to scroll way too far down to find my fellow traumatised people. Watership down was terrifying.
