»rank: 2499
0ur opinion: :Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 1O/O7/2OO8 :Much like Richard Adams's wonderful novel, this animated tale of wandering rabbits is not meant for small children. lt is, however, rich storytelling, populated with very real individuals inhabiting a very real world. The animation is problematic, sometimes appearing out of proportion or just subpar; but it seems to stem from an attempt at realism, something distinguishing the film's characters from previous, cutesy, animated animals. A band of rabbits illegally leave their warren after a prophecy of ...

The terrorized Freeling family has moved from their haunted house, but the bothersome ghosties are not finished with them yet. The lame scares include a sequence built around Craig T. Nelson swallowing a demon worm from a ...
