I haven't read the book or seen the earlier film, but IIRC the blurb says that it's about rabbits escaping a housing development. Because of that I was expecting it to be focused on the theme of humans vs nature, but instead it was mostly about rabbits fighting each other.
I found it a bit hard to tell the different rabbit characters apart, plus I found it confusing that two male characters had female names (Hazel and Holly).
Richard Adams is said to have consulted a scholarly tome, The Private Life of the Rabbit by R M Lockley. However according to this 1974 feminist critique, Lockley's book paints a picture of rabbit society as matriarchal, not male-dominated.

BTW, what do the lyrics of Bright Eyes have to do with the plot? I'd assumed they were a reference to myxomatosis.
