I believe this was an anime, but I'm not sure. It was about movie length or so and judging from the quality, I'm guessing it originated in the '90s.
It was about a community of animals, similar to Watership Down and The Animals of Farthing Wood, except that it took place in a marsh or swamp. The cast consisted mainly of anthropomorphic frogs and such. Anyone could die—young, old, male, female, mainly because of a group of villains who bullied the town. It was very traumatic for me to watch at the time since I was a kid.
