Watership Down(1999–2001)

Prisoner of Efrafa

The rabbits find out the Efrafans have captured Pipkin. Woundwort begins to treat Pipkin well, in order to find out the location of his warren. Meanwhile, Hazel hatches a plan to free Pipkin with help from Campion. They manage to grab as many animals as they can in order to make his plan work, and in the end it works better than they expected.

The Roundabout

Hickory and Marigold decide it's time to leave Cowslip's warren and set off to find Hazel. Hazel agrees to help them escape, and Hawkbit and Dandelion give them lessons on how to live outside in freedom. Hickory and Marigold decide to start a new warren. Concerned, Primrose suggests that they move into Redstone. Trouble is ahead of them though, when Hickory gets trapped on a roundabout.

The Market

Kehaar becomes homesick of the Big Water and decides he must go and visit it, with the rabbits tagging along too. Smelling the glorious smell of carrots and lettuce, the rabbits wander inside a big farm van to nibble at the food. Suddenly the van drives off, and the rabbits find themselves at a market where they make friends with a pig.

The Great Water

Finally making it to the Big Water the rabbits lose contact with Kehaar. The rabbits are amazed by their new surroundings, including the salty sea water. The rabbits soon realize the sea is getting closer to them. Meanwhile, Kehaar meets up with his old friend, Katerina, but soon realizes that she isn't as friendly as he thought she once was. The rabbits are helped by the Puffins after almost being taken away by the sea.

The Stand

Hickory and Marigold finally make their escape from Cowslip's warren, bringing along some friends with them. Bigwig and his friends help Hickory set up a warren at Redstone. Unawares to anyone, Cowslip has been watching them and meets up with Woundwort. Campion warns Hazel that Woundwort will attack at dawn. Woundwort is disappointed to find Redstone empty and heads off to Cowslip's warren where he is almost caught by the shining wire. Campion, however, is caught by Vervain and arrested.

The Orchard

Since the apples of the orchard are red and delicious Hazel and Bigwig go down to have a munch but retreat back to the warren when they find out a badger lives there. Knowing that the orchard is off-limits, Pipkin and Fiver go down to have a bite of the apples anyway. The badger comes back, and Pipkin flees. Fiver soon finds out the badger is harmless, and has a name: Bark.

The Great Game

Knowing Campion is still under arrest and Vervain is starving him to death, Hazel decides he must do something to help. The rabbits make a cunning plan to turn Vervain into a mad bunny! Afterwards Campion is soon up and running again.

Christmas on Watership Down (1)

It's snowing and the grass has turned white. The rabbits plan on having a big feast. But with no food Hazel, Bigwig, Hawkbit, Dandelion, Fiver and Kehaar set off to find some. They become lost, and encounter danger with a fox and ice. A rabbit named Buttercup comes along and allows the rabbits to say at her warren, right near a man.

Christmas on Watership Down (2)

Unconvinced that Buttercup's warren is safe, Hazel and his friends decide to flee during night. However they soon find out that Buttercup's warren is harmless, and the men that live nearby are harmless as well. Buttercup lets them take as much food as they want and Kehaar leads them back home safely to Watership Down.

The Mysterious Visitors

Hawkbit, Fiver, Pipkin and Dandelion raid the farm and to Hazel's surprise, they bring two other rabbits back to the down instead of food. Bluesky and Raincloud both say they are messengers from Prince Rainbow. Hazel catches on straight away that it's a scam, but he keeps quiet. The two demanding rabbits tell Pipkin they can fly, which leads into a lot of trouble.

The Invasion

After a huge storm, multiple sheep are at Watership Down. For now, Hazel agrees to let them stay. After living with them for a while, he soon finds out they aren't friendly and they attract more enemies. Captain Broom explains what a sheepdog can do to get rid of the sheep. Hazel hatches a cunning plan to get the sheep out of the down.

Bigwig's Way

Bigwig sets up an early morning Owsla patrol, but Hannah doesn't show up for her training. Later, she turns up with Hickory, excited that Hickory and Marigold have baby rabbits. Bigwig is annoyed with her and after an argument, Hannah leaves the down. Kehaar manages to convince Hannah to come to Redstone and she agrees. On her way to Redstone, she ends up stranded up a tree, and meets a Squirrel called Tassle.

Campion Lives

The Efrafan Owsla flee the collapsing caverns leaving only Woundwort, Vervain, Moss, and a handful of officers alive. Realizing that not even the cave-in will stop General Woundwort from trying to destroy them, Hazel, Fiver, and Bigwig make preparations to wage war on Efrafa with Pipkin recruiting all of his animal friends. Fiver meanwhile senses that Campion is not dead, and indeed the Efrafan captain manages to pull himself free from the rubble of the caverns alive but horribly scarred. He meets the Black Rabbit of Inlé, who tells him his time has not yet come and that he has a special destiny in store for him. Meanwhile Moss, seeing that Woundwort is going mad, teams up with a doe named Heather to overthrow him but the Watershippers attack Efrafa in full force.

A New World

Following the liberation (and destruction of Efrafa), the Efrafans move into Watership Down with Moss, the highest-ranking surviving officer, as their reluctant leader. Tensions are high as three of the other surviving officers try to bully Pipkin and end up getting into a fight with Bigwig. Meanwhile, Woundwort has survived and runs into two other rabbits in a swamp, letting them sink to their deaths in a mire after they refuse to swear loyalty to him. The Black Rabbit of Inlé shows this to Campion and tells him that his destiny is stop Woundwort, who "threatens the world of the living." Campion has a horrible vision of Blackberry in danger, and himself being threatened by a fierce green rabbit. Meanwhile, Moss and Heather decide to take the rest of the Efrafans to start a new warren elsewhere.

The Wanderer

Vervain wanders about aimlessly, getting into all sorts of trouble. Bigwig, meanwhile, continues to push his Owsla. In the end Bigwig eventually accomplishes his goals and in doing so saves Vervain from getting into any more trouble.

The Nestling

The Junior Owsla and Kehaar help an orphaned Hawk survive, whilst at the same time trying to prove to Hazel they are responsible enough to go on solo patrol. What they don't know is that Hazel has been secretly watching them save the Hawk.

The Secret of Redstone

Undercover, Woundwort begins to gain the trust of the rabbits at Redstone Warren. He has to fight off his own allies in order to finally gain there trust. Meanwhile, Blackberry finds out about Campion.

My Fair Gull

The Dark Deal

Woundwort discovers that a human construction crew plans to bulldoze Redstone. He and Vervain travel to the Warren of the Shining Wire where he tells Cowslip he will show him Redstone destroyed if Cowslip will give him his seer, Silverweed. Meanwhile, Hickory and Flax talk of revolt against "Weedstalk" while Marigold races to Watership Down to warn Hazel and the others of Woundwort's return. The wandering Campion stumbles across a new warren, Darkhaven, populated by savage rabbits who await the prophesized return of "the Dark One." He becomes their chief after he defeats their strongest warrior, Granite, winning the respect of a tough doe named Spartina.

Darkhaven

Woundwort, Vervain, and Silverweed arrive at Darkhaven just in time to meet up with Campion. At the same time, Hannah learns magic so that she can help her friends.

The Eyes of Silverweed

Silverweed traps Fiver in a twisted dreamworld illusion, allowing him to invade Fiver's mind and see through his eyes to learn the location of Watership Down for his master, Woundwort. Fiver manages to fight off Silverweed's hold, but not before Silverweed deduces that Watership Down is "in the high hills, near a lone beech tree." Hazel realizes how dangerous Silverweed is so he and the others journey to Darkhaven with the intent of kidnapping him. Meanwhile, Campion and Blackberry have the same idea, whilst Granite becomes Woundwort's new second-in-command when he challenges Vervain to single combat. Vervain forfeits rather than face the stronger Granite.

The Spy

Spartina is sent by Woundwort to befriend Hazel and the others and act as a spy for him. However Silverweed soon learns of her real objective. If Spartina does not return to Darkhaven by the next full moon, she has ordered Granite to kill Blackberry.

The Betrayal
