Question: I am struggling to figure out what the title of the movie, Watership Down, has to do with the movie itself at all. Can someone please explain what the title refers to?
Question: I'm trying to remember the song that was made famous by this film. Can anyone help me?
Answer: "Bright Eyes" written by Mike Batt and performed by Art Garfunkel.
Question: Is it really true that a character swears in this children's rated film?
Chosen answer: Kehaar says "P*ss off!" to one of the rabbits.
Audio problem: When Hazel asks Tab (the farm cat) if she can run, Tab replies, "You'll see," to which Hazel replies, "I think not," but as Tab charges towards him and Pipkin, you hear Hazel say "I think not" a second time. (00:37:38)
Hazel: Lord Frith, I know you've looked after us well, and it's wrong to ask even more of you. But my people are in terrible danger, and so I would like to make a bargain with you. My life in return for theirs.
Frith: There is not a day or night that a doe offers her life for her kittens, or some honest captain of Owsla, his life for his chief. But there is no bargain: what is, is what must be.
Trivia: The term "Prince with a Thousand Enemies" used in the prelude is a direct translation of the rabbit folk hero El-Ahrairah's name.

Chosen answer: Watership Down is the name of a real hill in Hampshire. In the context of the film and the book, it is the location where Fiver and the other rabbits set up their new warren after leaving Sandleford.
