Telling a mature story with an adult delivery. It even goes as far as tackling sadism, fascism, and creationism into the mix. The premise despite sounding like it's aimed at children does not seccumb to downplaying its premise. Watership Down is about a group of rabbits fleeing their doomed warren and facing many dangers to find and protect their new home. Not only it is a significant piece of animation tackling real world issues, but also carries an uncommonly powerful emotional weight for such an unlikely group of character. It's more of a reflection on yourself and the nature of the living world. It's not a lighthearted or cheery family film of any sort one simply just sit back and view.
With their colorful visuals and freely imaginative world this sort of escapism is the main reason Watership Down is not recognized as a classic. The animation genre is the most enduring genre for lighthearted family entertainment.
