Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalDiversity: As is tradition for screen adaptations, Woundwort is portrayed as half-blind, and following in the footsteps of the 1999 series, one of the male characters, in this case Strawberry, is portrayed as female.

* SlasherSmile: Woundwort pastes on a ''blood chilling'' one before he attacks the dog. Orchis is quite prone to these, as befitting his {{Dragon}} status here.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology:
** The animators appear to have based the characters on hares, not rabbits. Rabbits have shorter legs and differently-shaped bodies than the characters who appear in the series. Possibly justified; the longer legs made the rabbits easier to differentiate and their longer faces easier to animate.
** The rabbits have pawpads. As anyone who has ever held a real rabbit can tell you, they don't. The bottoms of their feet are covered in coarse, fluffy fur instead. It's very jarring compared to the otherwise realistic-looking (besides the proportions) models.
** A possible example is that one of the stated reasons for warren acquiring more does is because apparently does are better at digging than bucks -- which of course is not true, neither in real life, in the original novel, or in the previous adaptations. It's zig-zagged a little, though, because where as (unlike in the novel and the TV series) it's never ''explicitly'' said that this is a matter of attitude rather than ability, there are a couple of scenes that at least heavily imply it.

* NoisyNature: The Efrafans growl as Woundwort sends them charging ''en masse'' at Watership Down, instead of saving their breath for running.

Added DiffLines:

* NoOneSeesTheBoss: Bigwig asks to meet the Chief Rabbit of Efrafa and is constantly fobbed off. When they finally meet face-to-face, it's because [[OhCrap General Woundwort has turned up with his entire Owsla]] to kill Bigwig and recapture the does in the cliffhanger ending of "The Escape".
