A group of rabbits flee their doomed warren and face many dangers to find and protect their new home.
From memory: Excellent animated drama tells an exciting, heart-wrenching, but also rather dark tale not really suitable for a young audience.
Halliwell (no star): "A brilliantly written if somewhat pretentious parable becomes a rather flatly made cartoon in which it is difficult to distinguish one rabbit from another; the whole thing becomes a bit doomladen for family audiences, while adults will presumably prefer to reread the novel."
Maltin***1/2: "Stylish animated-cartoon...not a kiddie film. Bird character voiced by Zero Mostel provides only comic relief in this sometimes grimm cartoon...One of the best non-Disney animated features ever made."
