I'm sorry to hear that anon, but I completely understand why things like Watership Down would cause a freak out. It's bad enough watching it when you're not claustrophobic or have not experienced anything in real life like it. In fact, sometimes I think animation can be worse for setting off these sorts of reactions because of the other worldly aspect and the fact you can possibly get away with showing some much nastier stuff (at a lower rating) when it isn't live action.

Being fair in Watership Down's case, she had actually read the book, so she knew what was coming. I think it was something about Holly's voice? The way he says it, "We couldn't get out!", or just the whole hearing/seeing it instead of imagining it from a page. She wasn't expecting it to set her off so bad, but holy shit it hit like a sledgehammer. Her reaction I think scared me more than the movie, mostly because ... it made the stuff in the movie more real? Like these aren't cartoon things, these are things that actually happen. And then you get up to Efrafa and the Warren of the Shining Wires, and those things happen too, and it's horrifying.

It's still an incredibly movie. It's actually one of my favourites, but it's not ... It uses cartoon animals to show some really horrifying things, and while it softens them more than live action would, maybe, the animation and fantasy elements remove it that little bit more from reality, it still doesn't soften them all the much.

My dad read me the book when I was about seven, but the movie still makes me feel physically ill.
