In this video I will be giving a complete Plot Breakdown of the new BBC & Netflix Watership Down Remake as well as discussing the Themes of the miniseries in my Ending Explained Analysis
The Watership Down remake has arrived just in time for Christmas and similar to the source material, there’s a lot to unpack from the newly adapted TV Miniseries.
Throughout this video, I will be breaking down everything that you need to know about the four-episode series as well as it’s ending.
There will, of course be heavy spoilers here, so, if you don’t want to know anything just yet, then I highly suggest that you turn off now.
For everyone else, I’m Deffinition and Welcome to the channel where I ruin it so you don’t have to!
Watership Down Plot Synopsis
Our story starts at a Warren in Sandleford where we join a group of Rabbits, yes Rabbits, I know they look like hares but it’s clear that the BBC spent more on the cast budget than they did the animation but I don’t make the rules. Anyway, after one of The Rabbits, named Fiver, has a premonition that humans are coming to build a housing estate on the area they live, they decide to leave.
This doesn’t sit too well with the elders of the Warren even though there is a massive sign that saying that he’s right so he, his brother Hazel, a larger Rabbit named Bigwig and a handful of others decide to leave in search of a new place to live which Fiver refers to as The Down.
Eventually, they come across a Rabbit named Cowslip in the wild who invites them to join his Warren.
‘There’s Something Wrong With This Place!’
On the surface this place looks like a paradise, Humans from a neighbouring farm bring food to them daily and the area is well sheltered but there’s a clearly something wrong with the place. Fiver warns against them living there and he is soon proven right when we discover that the humans are in fact only feeding the Rabbits to harvest them for their meat and skin. It’s pretty terrifying and the rabbits have turned into fearful creatures, almost inventing their own religion to give reasoning and purpose to their death, living by the mantra ‘A day less for one means a day more for everyone else.’
After Bigwig nearly dies on a snare set by a farmer, the herd decides to continue to the Down and they stumble across the farm where they see some female rabbits trapped in cages. They finally reach the down but quickly realise that their new home won’t be able to thrive due to their being more males than female rabbits, which are referred to as does.
A former survivor from their previous home, named Captain Holly, arrives heavily wounded and states that fiver was indeed right and that the housing estate pretty much killed the majority of the population which ends part one.
The Raid
Part 2 which is called The Raid, no not after the movie, though this is probably a lot more gory, involves the Rabbits trying to find does does does, in different area codes. Do you see what I did there?
Hazel, Fiver, and Bigwig set off to the farm to free the trapped Rabbits and a bird with a broken wing crash lands at the Down. Eventually, they nurse it back to health and when out flying it notices a group of Rabbits off to the east that Captain Holly, Blue Bell and Blackberry set off to find.
Meanwhile, at the farm, they are spotted by the farm cat which chases them away. Captain Holly and co arrive at the other Warren which is named Efrafan. This is a totalitarian Warren in which stronger Rabbits rule over the weak, forcing them to work and being extremely vicious to those who refuse. The Warren’s leader, General Woundwort is pretty much Negan in a Bugs Bunny Costume and he threatens them, branding them and forcing them to work in the process. This Warren is like George Orwell’s 1984 and the Rabbits that live there have surrendered their freedom in turn for protection from Humans but it’s not even guaranteed.
