Just try herding these rabbits

It’s a classic — really.

The British 1978 animated film “Watership Down” was the first animated feature to be presented in Dolby sound and will screen at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 5 at the Guild Cinema, 3405 E. Central.

The film is set in a world created by the god Frith, who represents the Sun. All animals lived harmoniously, but the rabbits eventually multiplied, and their appetite led to a food shortage. In retaliation, Frith gave special gifts to every animal, but some animals he made predators to prey upon the rabbits. But Frith also gave the rabbits speed and cunning; while many would seek to kill them, the rabbits could survive by their wits and quickness.

The film is rated PG and is free.
