You should watch the rest of the story and find out

They made tons of these! The Peter Rabbit ones were my favorite. They’re such good adaptations, they tell the original stories perfectly.

Nah man. The mom even mentioned that earlier she found 7 of those rats and they ate them for dinner, but couldn’t get the “father rat”, the fat one in the picture. We can only assume they were his kids that she ate. So it’s no wonder they would maybe want some payback.

Honestly, it’s not nearly as disturbing as those. Watership Down sticks with you for life.

I had the VHS copy of this and the little kitten softly "meow"ing for help as he was about to be eaten by the rats was very disturbing. Especially when he was trapped in his own home and his mom and aunt couldn’t find them.

EDIT: Here it is in full! God what a throwback. As messed up as this story is, I loved it as a kid and would watch it all the time.
