Watership Down (Season 1)

Watership Down (2018) is a BBC animated miniseries you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from Richard Adams' 1972 novel. A small group of rabbits flees their warren after one of them receives a vision of destruction. The journey across the English countryside — over roads, through hostile colonies, toward a hillside that might finally be safe — is the whole of the story.

The voice cast is striking by any measure: James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, John Boyega, Daniel Kaluuya, Rosamund Pike, Olivia Colman, Ben Kingsley, Gemma Arterton, and Taeron Egerton across four episodes. Adams wrote the book as a study of authority and the instinct to flee versus to fight; this adaptation keeps that weight rather than softening it for younger viewers.
