2025 movie #240. 1978. An animated movie featuring a small group of rabbits fleeing their home before developers moved in. They survive foxes, dogs, cats and fascist rabbit warren. Scariest movie about rabbits I've seen since Monty Python's Holy Grail.
A group of rabbits find a new home.
The book seemed unfilmable, but somehow they managed to make a good movie out of it. It's not anywhere near as good as the book, but it's still quite good.
