From Goodreads: "Watership Down is a 1978 British animated adventure drama film written, produced and directed by Martin Rosen and based on the hugely popular book of the same name by Richard Adams. It was released on October 19, 1978 and was an immediate success, becoming the sixth most popular film of 1979 at the British box office. The same year of the film release, "The Watership Down Film Picture Book with linking text by Richard Adams" was published, a book of pictures from the film with linking text from the original novel by Richard Adams. It features a preface written by Richard Adams and a foreword written by Martin Rosen; hardcover with glossy printed cover over boards, 9.5" x 8'" x 1", more than 250 colour stills from the film captioned with quotes from the book and the movie script, unpaginated - over 200 pages.
