The climatic scene was essentially a scene from "A Bug's Life":
"Don't go into the light."
"But it's so pretty."

The only aspect that seemed strange to me was that of the hares running around and more "witchy" aspects. It ended up working out in the end but I suppose we did have some magic/seance action in the original novel so, in hindsight, I shouldn't have been that surprised by these supernatural elements.
Please listen to Fern Maddie's "Hares on the Mountain"! Songs/singing are a key part of the plot and ambiance and the author noted that this version has the same essence as the character Nisa put into it. I listened to it after I finished the book and it felt very nice as an "end credits" song in a sense.
