I may be mutilated for this opinion

But of all the various film slated for a remake that we are bewailing, why isn't Watership Down one of them? I think the fil is great, but every time I watch it I get the feeling that I'm watching the book on fast forward. This is a film that's begging for someone to take it and give it a proper, Lord of the Rings style adaptation in two or more films. One film, not matter how loyal and beautifully animated, is just not enough to do more than scratch the surface of this incredible book.
