Battle of the Voices: Fiver

[Hawkbit]

[Hawkbit]

So we have Briers and Falvey representing Fiver for this battle.  Needless to say this one is a little easier to judge than the Bigwig one.  This time there are very distinct voices--Briers giving Fiver an older more mature voice.  Falvey definitely gives TV series Fiver a younger voice, and I don't see Fiver as a young rabbit; he's supposed to be just small, but not much younger than Hazel.  Also you can compare what Fiver does when he sees his visions; Briers gives Fiver a sense of fear and worry when you hear him speak.  When Falvey gives his performance I hear an upset stomach moan, not one of a scared rabbit.

This time its easy: Briers wins.

It's another hard decision :/ Briers was, of course, the first Fiver I ever knew, so that should instantly put him up there, but it seems like the Briers Fiver is a bit more psychologically disturbed while the Falvey Fiver is just your normal caring friend who's sometimes a bit freaked out cause he'll see the future. Their both great to me. :P
It just seems that, if it were me clinging to the side of a canyon screaming for help, the Falvey Fiver would be all "Hold on! I'm coming for you!" While Briers Fiver would hesitate and say, "I'll see what I can do. :/"

Just opinon comepletely, though. ooheey, and where is this image of Falvey from?

^The internet.  No really I'm following a lead on a video about how they made the tv series.  Supposedly its a bonus feature on the Winter on Watership Down dvd.  My copy is in transit so we'll see if its there.  If it is, copies can be picked up for a penny on amazon, so its an easy way to get background info.  I'll let everyone know if its truly there as I've read. ^^

Just checked my own copy- If it is on the dvd, it's not the American one. :/ I'd expect it more to be on the British complete series boxset that isn't yet compatible for American players. Meeehhhrr, hopefully some will put it on youtube.

^ Nope its not on the American one.  Ah well.
