![]() One review pointed out that “sixty-three” bunnies meet their maker in the film, and that “it’s not ok” to for this to happen in a kids' movie. Reading audience reviews of the movie on Rotten Tomatoes, you get a feel for why this movie was re-categorized so many years later if you didn’t watch it when you were younger. And this destruction path isn’t cutesy like a Disney movie. ![]() “Hoping to escape destruction by human developers and save their community, a colony of rabbits, led by Hazel and Fiver, seek out a safe place to set up a new warren,” the movie description reads. Looking beyond the cute bunnies and into the description of the movie, it’s a lot darker than it appears. “The 1978 animated version of Watership Down - the much-loved wild rabbit adventure - from U to PG (Parental Guidance) is a remarkable example of the censoring authority becoming more puritanical over time,” the publication adds. But, there’s a kid’s movie that took the opposite direction - 45 years later, it’s been given a more strict movie categorization. “The Alien movies were once rated 18 now they’re 15,” the publication points out. The movie was - and still is - terrifying, and the new development is that 45 years later, it’s been re-categorized as “PG,” but that might not be strong enough.Īccording to The Guardian, when the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) revisits movie ratings for older movies, they tend to lower the rating, realizing that today it’s not as extreme as it was in the past. It sounds innocent enough, and its movie rating of “U” means universal, so it should be appropriate for all ages. Is there a movie you watched when you were a child that still haunts you today? For many people, that movie is a feature cartoon meant for kids that features a group of bunnies. ![]()
