You make some interesting plot suggestions 
I used to make some stop-motion-style animation a few years ago; I could possibly work on this. The other possibilities you mention are also interesting 
Thanks chipster. I’ll even try slapping together a quick trailer on YouTube to help gain more interest. Are you familiar with Shining Time at all?
For a better idea of how this works as an unofficial 4th Season, it would utilize one Watership story per episode and would feature the cast from the Carlin run. Shining Time could use up to Thomas 2 stories (sometimes they only used 1 starting with the episode He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not) because they’re under 5 minutes (that’s also from cutting out the 30 seconds of intro and end credits for the Thomas stories). With Watership Down the series, each episode runs for at least 21 minutes so it’d be told in two parts like Mr Conductor would tell 2 Thomas stories. Here’s an example:
Sample of WIP Episode Taking Shortcuts:
Mr Conductor: Hey Kara! Why are you, Dan and Becky in such a rush?
Kara: We’ve heard the carnival is coming into town and there are some new rides being brought out!
Becky: We’re trying to think of some Shortcuts to finish our chores as quickly as possible to go there!
Mr Conductor: Taking Shortcuts isn’t always the recommended way in life. That can sometimes be a dangerous choice. Remember the time Bigwig nearly paid the price trying that method at Cowslip’s Warren?
Kara: Cowslip, who’s Cowslip? I don’t think any of us heard of him
Mr Conductor: Oh Cowslip, he’s a strange fellow. A rabbit with a messed up scruffy fur coat and a creepy stare that could make even the toughest guys shiver!

Perhaps I should show you how Bigwig tried a shortcut at his place that showed the dangers of an easy way out *blows whistle and we transition into part 1 Of The Easy Life*
As for the cast, it includes Stacy Jones, JB King and Schemer but also the new characters introduced in the George Carlin run. Those being Dan, Kara, Becky, Schemer’s nephew Schemee and Billy Twofeathers who were introduced in Season 2 and remained on the show up until the last episode titled How The Station Got Its Name. Plus George Carlin took on the Mr Conductor role in Season 2 so we’re using his version. The show had some other characters like gossiper Midge Smoot, Mayor Osgood And Farmer Ginny who’d been on the show since Season 1 that can be used too.
Anyone here more interested now?
