An animated movie based on the book premiered in 1978, which (while portraying the same values as the book) is remembered for being pretty graphic and violent. A three-season animated TV series was released in 1999 and ended in 2001, being the most family-friendly of ''Watership Down'' adaptations. BBC released a CGI Netflix miniseries in 2018, which follows the book more than the 1978 film. A sequel to the book called ''Tales of Watership Down'' was published in 1996.

|''Elephants Are Not Birds''

|Ashley St. Clair

|This children's book stars a young elephant child named Kevin who has a penchant for singing, which prompts a vulture named Culture to trick him into believing that he was born a bird; the vulture even gives him some fake wings and a fake beak so that he can be one. Over the course of the book, however, Kevin comes to understand that he can't be a bird and decides to be who he was born to be: an elephant who can sing. The author confirms that this is an "unapologetic rebuke of the transgender acceptance and the growing number of young people identifying as trans", calling out the idea of creating many "genders" and confusing kids into becoming trans.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/07/26/conservative-publisher-brave-books-launches-with-anti-trans-childrens-book-elephants-are-not-birds-1109054/?fbclid=IwAR3t0e9Y3eF3itTGLec83eQxbOPg_BOrS5jD-6mhoI_5pR3m4BSM8xXCqIE</ref>

|This novelization of the classic 1993 [[Halloween]] film ''Hocus Pocus'' contain the same conservative messages that the movie had portrayed: family and friendship, as well as resisting against evil. The sequel has Max and Allison's daughter Poppy witnessing the three Sanderson witch sisters rising up again after twenty-five years, and she must work with her friends and Thackery Binx's ghost to stop them from wreaking the destruction that her parents and aunt helped stop. While the sequel contains most of the same conservative messages that the book before and the film portrayed, it does include a homosexual scene with Poppy being kissed by her childhood friend who is a girl.

The series starts out pretty neutral, one example being that while the Clans are staying separate, they can still come together to fight whatever threatens all the Clans, including Scourge and his BloodClan cats as well as the Dark Forest (the cat version of hell). Family is portrayed positively, an example being Firestar agreeing to adopt his sister's firstborn kitten Cloudtail so that he can be a warrior like him. Totalitarianism is condemned through leaders like Brokenstar, who kills kittens during battle practice and forces his cats to constantly go to war.
