British parents are outraged at Channel 5’s decision to broadcast the traumatizing animation film “Watership Down” over the Easter holidays. Children were able to watch the brutalization and murder of rabbits at 2.25pm on a Sunday afternoon under the noses of their parents. The film causes one to have recurring nightmares about the violence and brutality that goes on in the animal kingdom which is not normally seen in U-certified cartoons, according to reports. The Independent reports: Channel 5 decided to air the 1978 animated film on Easter Sunday afternoon, when lots of chocolate-filled kids were watching at home with their families. The scheduling choice was soon branded a huge “inappropriate” no-no, however, when the “upsetting, traumatising, hideous and horrifying” scenes of bloody, slaughtered rabbits made their way into many an unsuspecting living room. “Who the hell thought it a good idea to put Watership Down on Easter Sunday? ‘Hey kids let’s watch dead Easter bunnies!’” wrote one distressed Twitter user, with others confirming that it is “still terrifying” for adults too. Someone at Channel 5 has a brilliantly twisted sense of humour for putting Watership Down on for Easter Sunday. It’s a horrifying film. — Mark Dowling (@ChronMark) March [...]
