Dandelion's running: I forgot about that-that was actually a cool moment in the film (I don't like them changing things up, but I have to admit, I enjoyed the scene. The rest of the changes thus far just had me in disbelief, and I felt them were poorly done
CROWS! I thought they were pigeons! (My bird knowledge is obviously minimal) I'm still listening to your podcast, but since I made my first comment now, I'll say a few things: --First, this is my first 2018 listen where I've actually seen the film (I was able to purchase it) --Second, (and you may say this yourself later) I know this version said it wouldn't be bloody like the '78 movie, but it actually seems more violent to me. I'm not sure why, but I was a lot more tense with Bigwig killing a crow (even if it were off-screen), and also the tense Owsla chase we saw earlier
The violence here is very different to the 1978 version. There is less visible gore, but more actual violence. As not so much blood is seen, it gets away with it, in terms of age rating.
@@newell.fisher What is the age rating? I don't know how streaming films are rated? I think the violence seems more intense to me because of faster pacing, and also the CGI makes the animals seem more realistic. One problem I have with the CGI though is that I can't tell the rabbits apart! This is a problem I had with the Michael Bay Transformers movies too. I know all the 1984 and 1985 TF from my childhood, but I couldn't identify anyone (but Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron) in that movie
I also don't like that the crows couldn't understand Hazel. It doesn't mention dialogue with the rats, but seeing as how Hazel spoke to a mouse, and the rabbits can speak to Kehaar the gull, it seems odd. I don't like the "made for a modern audience" thing. I know other works like Blyton's Malory Towers, and it seems Malory's Famous Five are doing this to, but I don't get it. Well, I guess I do-if people today have a shortened attention span due to this smartphone/social media age, I guess filmmakers don't want to rock the boat by making people think/wait etc
I really love this podcast! :)
@@FiverHrairoo Thank you :)

Thanks for doing these

@SJHFoto Yes I'm struggling to tell them apart at times. The subtitles help.
In the UK this is age-rated 12.

This was a bit odd for me too!
@@FiverHrairoo What was? I discussed multiple things in my comment
@@SJHFoto I meant that the crows don't understand Hazel. It's weird for me too as other animals understand them but not those.
@FiverHrairoo Yes that is odd. Why wouldn't crows understand him if seagulls do?
Hazel seems too easily swayed here. As much as I don't like what they did to Bigwig's character, I really don't like what they did to Hazel!
I agree completely. Unfortunately it gets worse at Cowslip's warren.
