Did the Watership Down remake get sanitized? I never watched it, having been part of a generation of Australians who all got taken as school children to see it and scarred for life. It was just assumed animations are for kids. It must have been hell for the teachers, dealing with a class of traumatized 6 year olds in a cinema.

Yes it was completely more like the the book, the new animated remake. It was beautiful but far less brutal. Easier for the younger child, certainly. As a fan of the book since a child, I also found the original movie very intense and wasn't keen to revisit it.
