@futzle I understand it is about a bunch of bunnies buying the farm or some such, and is apparently quite traumatic

@Taco_lad It’s … intense. Certainly requires a degree of maturity in the reader/viewer. I’d rate it PG, and I think the 1978 movie does have that rating now, finally.

@futzle @Taco_lad I remember seeing it in the cinema when it came out, but I’d already either started the book, or had the book read to me, but I don’t recall that I had finished it before seeing the movie. (I was stupidly precocious in my reading)
