Film classification - Watership Down

 
We gave this film a classification of PG because it promotes some violence and continues to do so towards the end of the film without sign of holding up, and it doesn't counter balance within the end of the sequence shown. 

We later found that the film was A U classification, in some ways this was a shock to the group because there is a lot of violence permitted within part's of the film, and there were many distressing images. 
We think that the classification, was not right because there was  not enough violence shown within the film for it to be classified as a PG, and because the film was animated, so it did not have as a big effect as if the image was a real life filmed image. 

However when we did some research, we found out that many adults who had seen this film also suggested that it should be classified as a PG of in some cases some even said as a 12. 

Overall we came to the conclusion that people have different opinions that don't necessarily fit with the generalisations film classifications offer. This creates a very topical issue in our modern day media society.  

We found such images like this in the clip which came across as rather disturbing. 

We thought this because children don't see rabbits as being evil, as it's not the impression that such an audience would get, however the animation makes the film look less realistic, which reassures the children's audience
