Watership Down (1978) - Well, Bless My Bottom - Animation April 2026

There's 2 movies about bunnies that 90's kids remember. The one that gave them nightmares and the one that gave them interesting dreams once puberty hit. But there's no way we would be reviewing Space Jam, so we bring you the nightmare fuel that is Watership Down. Alicia is busy moving and was unable to record, so we are joined by Mikes friends and the proprietor of Daley Kreations, Kate! Kate doesn't just love monster movies, she works on them as a designer and maker, and you can order your own cosplay stuff from her, as well as learn the art at various cons in the Ottawa area. Check the site for schedules, or just to order some great stuff.
