Bravery's a crown

Heavy with lives I defend

Shall not let them down

Frith to me your power lend

Bravery's a crown

Heavy with my Chief's command

I shall not back down

Frith defeat I shall not stand

Bravery's a crown

Heavy with this dark burden

Where no sound is found

Frith allow for me to win

Bravery's a crown

Heavy with fear but still strong

Blood covers the ground

Frith be with me all along

Bravery's a crown

Heavy with walls I defend

Fight, or else I drown

Frith to me victory send

I wanted to share a comparison of the frame in one of the postcards to a similar frame in the film picture book on my last post but I do not have enough brain power so have a second post.

I have been wondering this for a while, other than dvds of the movie or the actual book(s), is there any merch for watership down? Like plushys, tshirts anything other than the well known stuff. And im sure there are some one off plushys from idk 1990s that are like worth hundreds of dollars but im talking about just normal ones regular people can get without breaking the bank!

In my opinion the Netflix version IS MY FAVORITE ADAPTATION of the book,because is like more a LONG movie than a sumarry of the book (True,1978?) or a CN show (Like 1999)

Likes: -The characters are very great,much fans talk about are very altered,but this is very common in adaptations,in personal a like more this Hazel,because is more a guy search how be a leader witch is more intersing,Holly has more screentime than the other version,Fiver is very great and the females are characters in this version and NOT a plot device

-The plot is literaly similar to the book ,NOT that the 1999 version where until THE MAGIC is present

-The romance subplot between Hazel And Clover is very cute in my opinion,I Understand that the original book NOT have this,but I view the TRIED to fix this problem

Dislikes -Bigwig is my favorite character in the book but here is literally a complete Jerk,Im My Opinion I Don't like this change,Because I Prefer the Badass Figther of the books

-The Animation,Obviously,is very rigide and the disings are very similar,Doing more difficult that the especter distinguish the characters

Remember that is MY OPINION Pd: Sorry for my english,I'm Not a English Speaker, I'm a Spanish Speaker

I'm thinking about watching watership down for the very first time and was wondering which one is better.

I was wondering if anyone has any cels from the movie or shows! I’d love to see anyone’s prized pieces! I’m planning on buying a few and I’m quite excited, and would love to keep diving into the joy of it with others!

I am doing a research project on Watership Down, and I have been watching my way through all the adaptations.

I started watching the 1999-2001 tv series, and I was very surprised when I got to season 3. Actors have been changed, the art style and character design is different (with some characters literally getting different designs), the tone of the show is so much darker, focus on magic etc. It's like a version of the gritty netflix reboot stereotype, but between a season- roughly a year.

So, why this change? Why were things changed but certain things weren't? The production companies are the same too, and the fact it is still a British production despite S3 not airing in the UK is strange.

I've been in a rabbit hole (no pun intended) of why this could be, as the show doesn't have a lot of information online and I believe the only BTS content of the show is from S1-2. The WD archive project doesn't appear to have anything much either.

If anyone has any information, please tell me! I find this show fascinating and as a huge fan of WD I would love to know literally anything about these changes.

edit: The animation/audio companies remain the same across all seasons (with multiple members of the crew remaining across all of them), but S3 definitely had more funding (e.g. the Rogers Cable Network Fund helped fund S3) and more staff working on the show- this should give a bit more of an explanation to my confusion!

Bigwig and his famous "silflay hraka" line 😆

I don't mean to spam art, I just really liked how this turned out today 😅☺️

My bookmark I drew after I think my first reading. Pretty sure this was my very first Watership Down fanart, and of course it was Bigwig 😆 I wish I had written down the date on it 😕

I'm considering a Build-a-Bear rabbit and I wanna make it like Bigwig, but I'm having some trouble deciding his style.

I kinda think he's maybe a denim fellow. I found frayed denim shorts and kinda thought they'd fit maybe? 😅

I wanna know what the community thinks!

Fear of the Black Rabbit of Inlé

During the assaults - I believe - Hazel has this moment of defeat, but he also waxes poetically about who they are as rabbits, and all they had done to get to where they were, only to have Woundwort ruin it. It's a beautiful passage, but skimming the back end isn't going to cut it. If this rings a bell, and one of you remembers the passage and where this might be, let me know! And sorry if this is too general, I just can't seem to remember anything besides Hazel reminiscing and it having such a heartfelt message.

I'm interested in finding all of the official Watership Down merchandise. Here's my list so far, please add or make corrections to it if anything I have is incorrect. I would like to note that I'm familiar with the Humbrol plushies, but I'm not sure what year they were produced, if they are official, or what all characters have been made. I appreciate any aid in my search.

I saw a woman the other day wearing a Watership down shirt that had a bunch of rabbits circling around lord frith, in a folk art kind of style. It was beautiful and I’ve been looking for it online since, I’d appreciate it if anyone knows the artist or design

Existe una versión en latino o solo salio en ingles subtitulado?

Just watched Watership Down recently and thought it was a masterpiece. Upon research I noticed there's different versions of The Plague Dogs movie that seems to be subject to what country they came out in, although I see the Blu-Ray has it listed as "Directors Extended Cut" so idk what to believe lol

He's my favorite 😁

This is resource I'm using: http://bitsnbobstones.watershipdown.org/lapine/overview.html

I've noticed that there's no actual word for a divine class of being in this. My my question is, how would you address this lack when writing in Lapine?

This is what I've come up with, regarding a "urmonotheistic" God, such as Abraham's God, Hiranyagarbha, Tenri-O-no-Mikoto, etc.

0. Frith: in this case, we assume the name of the king deity itself means "god", such as Zeus [derived from Deiwos], Iuppiter [derived from Dyeus Phater], and Shangdi [simply meaning "Lord Above"]. This was not always the case, as there were times where the god whose name means "god" was subordinate to another, such as with Tyr.

Alternatively, we could attempt a cultural adaptation, as with Teôtzin, as used by Nahuatl-speaking Catholics.

1. Frithrah: Solar-Lord

Alternatively, we could use a calque-

2. Hraethtarli: All-Father
3. Hraethparli: All-Father
4. Hraethrah: All-Lord
5. Frith ol frith: Sun of the sun [analogous to God of gods, as used in the Book of Deuteronomy and in Rig Veda 10:121]

Any thoughts on how to discuss the concept of such a thing in Lapine?
