I'm in love with a pizza.
Never seen "Watership Down" so I'm going with "The Incredibles". I like "The Incredibles" by the way.

I'm pretty much in this situation as well. Although I've read the book, and I enjoyed it.

I does what I says on the box.
Watership Down is going to win, not only because it has cute fluffy animals, but because...it has cute fluffy animals.
The Incredibles was faintly entertaining in its own way.

the movie is a good protrayal of the book, it simplified and changed a few things but overall the book was translated to film very well and stayed true to the book in that the story was not "disneyfied" as the movie is rather violent and i wonder how many kids it turamatized.
and the scene where fiver followed the black rabbit to where hazle was is just wonderfully done and i and i love the song bright eyes.
my only personla nitpick is Blackavar was not protrayed well in the film and love his character in the book (he also does not get killed by woundwort in the book)

That's a BINGO!
Oh wow, um. I watched Watership last year and I'm not ashamed to admit that it scared the crap outta me. The early scene with Fiver's vision gave me chills, not to mention its portrayal of rabbity violence. Watership gets my vote for its power and rawness. Sure, Incredibles has actual power (superpower, har har), and I love it, but it don't got no rabbity violence.

You've obviously never seen it. They're far from cute. The General in particular.

Hmm... not seen Watership Down for like 25 years, but I do remember most of it. I voted for the Incredibles though because it's got great humour, neat story idea, and is fun to watch repeatedly. Watership down has a great moral and is a timeless classic, but it's the sort of movie I'd only ever want to see once.

Watership down. The Incredibles was OK, but i see it more as a simple clone of all the goofy CG animation that is popping up these days. Just because it is widespread and liked by children doesn't make it good. I long for the days of actually ANIMATED MOVIES. CG kids movies are boring, period.

I've never seen Watership Down, and The Incredibles was full of win.

I remember it was bloody. And that compared to the book it was horribly innacurate. I swear I read that thing six times in grade seven. I would literally finish the last page, then turn to the first page and start reading again (Is it any wonder why I got pelted with snowballs when I was 13?
).but as a standalone movie it was pretty good.
Me, it's going to be The Incredibles. NO CAPES! :grin:

I wasn't impressed by the Incredibles, and I only saw about 3/4ths of Watership Down (when I was 8 or 9, I think) before my parents saw violence on the tv screen and ripped my heart out from the VCR... haven't seen the ending to this day.
So I have to say Watership Down.
