80 Questions

How much did it cost to make Watership Down?

The animated film "Watership Down," released in 1978, had a production budget of approximately £1.5 million, which is around $2 million in today's currency. The film was notable for its ambitious animation and complex themes, which helped it gain a cult following despite its relatively modest budget. Its production faced financial challenges and was partially funded through a combination of private investment and pre-sales.

In Watership Down has Captain Holly seen the Hole in the Sky?

I would say he has seen it, or rather a representation of it, just before he arrives at Watership Down, yes, though the experience doesn't seem to shake him to the core as it might have others (Holly is a practical sort-even his nightmares are logical!).

What is the function of the story Rowsby Woof and the Fairy Wogdog in the book Watership Down?

Like all the stories of Dandelion and others in Watership Down, "Rowsberry Woofe" helps the reader understand literary references and allusions discussed in the novel. Since humans are of a different culture than rabbits, our allusions refer to human stories. Therefore Adams has created a whole culture and allowed readers to understand his characters through their religion, mythology, "wives-tales" and basic beliefs of life. Each of his stories are referred to. When Rowsberry states "Out, out you dirty little beasts," this is an example of foreshadowing of when Fiver's voice, sounding unnatural, frightens the intruders when he uses the same phrase.
