Luckily, the story is so good that it shines above the shoddy animation, but the 1978 adaptation is still a better bet and the original story itself is still the best. Give this one a watch only if you can stomach the visuals and the visceral material.

Personally, I liked it, but only that. I didn't take anything from it. And even though I wasn't that impressed with the cult animated film from 1978 either, I have to say I liked that one better. This miniseries adaptation isn't bad, it's just brutally unnecessary.

Despite cheap computer-animation, director Noam Murro (“300: Rise of an Empire”) and writer Tom Bidwell (“My Mad Fat Diary”) evoke a strong sense of empathy for the animals while crafting a stirring limited series built on big, frightening themes of life and death along with more humble thoughts on love, friendship, and socialism.
