I did't know it was a movie or a series. I saw a clip from the series. They might be very good projects, but they're very different from the book.

Animated animals are expected to talk. Shows have background music to support the story and entertain. Animation is safe, and works for small children.

The book has real rabbits that communicate. There's no background music in a real field. In the book, when Fiver is running for his life, it's a real rabbit, and the real threat sends your heart racing.

If you haven't read the book, forget any connection with the series or the movie. The NY Times called it "The best animal book ever written".

Here's a link to a site that shows photos of the actual places the book was based on. http://www.mayfieldiow.freewire.co.uk/watershp/
