Anyway I was shocked that Campion died saving Woundwort even after he already switched sides, I mean letting that bolder crush Woundworth would have ended the war between the 2 warrens but I guess even till the end Capion kept some loyally to Woundwort and could never stand by and let him get killed.

Sorry, don't get Teletoon. Or else I'd be checking out Watership Down, Redwall, and the Canadian version of Cardcaptors (which differs from the WB one).

UUUH Don't get YTV either.

Redwall is on PBS? Now that's news to me. Have to check my TV Guide to make sure.

I was amazed at the realistic portrayal of death in a PBS-broadcasted cartoon (nothing graphic, but not shying away from the subject either). Is PBS planning to bring over Watership Down to the States any time soon? I have seen the official webpage and I must agree with jumptheshark.com, the rabbits do look too Disney for the original source material. Even so, I do look forward to seeing it if it ever makes it over the border.

Yes I've noticed that, it is common in UK cartoons since they don't have to deal with pansy censors. The series Watership Down while more tame the Redwall does have death in it too.

Well that is due to the fact that the studio handling the Watership Down series desided not to be tied down to the book and only uses it as a rough guide since they don't follow the book that much marketting though it would be best to make the characters more marketable and I have to admit, now that I have the plushies I can see their point.
