This was such a weird film. I watched it as a little kid, thinking, stupidly, that it was a children’s movie. Not really.

“Dad, can we rent this one?”
*all the nightmares later*

Never saw the movie. The book was required reading in Lit class. Yeah, not a children's book.

I think it was actually a political / social parable with rabbits in place of humans. Kind of like “Animal Farm”; not really a book for kids, pretty disturbing, and meant to be a series of metaphors.

If you leave it run then Pinocchio follows which is a bit more kid friendly but about as Halloweenish as my kids used to liked to see.

I never read WDown until it was assigned in my Sociology class in my freshman year in college.
I never heard of Carlos Castaneda until the 90s and by then his books were recognized as pure fiction. I did read the books, he was quite a storyteller.

As a storytelling fiction , they were exceptional. I don’t know were I found that link but it’s a playlist of the old animated full length movies. Popeeye the babybooners stuff that we grew up on.
