With lots of critter mayhem, silly banter, and posh British accents, this family flick will make old and young viewers giggle at least a few times. While it’s not the greatest movie out, there is something for everyone here, as well as some surprising depth that will touch your heart.
- An old man dies by having a heart attack.
- The rabbits steal things and trash a house and all of that is supposed to be considered cute and funny.
- Your kids are going to want a pet rabbit after they see the movie.
- Some fighting and violence
- Some references to things anyone under 25 wouldn’t understand.
- Some rude humor, but no profanity.
- The importance of family
- Forgiveness
- Kindness
- James Cordon does a great job as the voice of Peter Rabbit. We’ll see him in two more animated movies this year: Smallfoot and Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2. He’s probably hoping everyone will forget he was in The Emoji Movie.
- Other voice talent includes Sam Neill and a cast of very lovely ladies: Daisy Ridley, Elizabeth Debicki, Sia, and Margot Robbie.
- Domhnall Gleeson is perfect, just like he is in everything else he does.
- Cute beginning. Quick intro to all of the characters with some humor.
- Very expressive animation with incredible details.
- Some of the original Peter Rabbit animation design is shown as a respectful nod to the past.
- Upbeat soundtrack.
- I liked the enthusiastic rooster’s reaction to each new day. We should all feel that way when we wake up!
- It’s sweet when their foreheads touch.
- Keep watching during the rolling credits at the end.
- Funny deer gag.
- Peter Rabbit’s motivation is much deeper than you would expect.
- Parents aren’t going to mind watching this with their kids.
- When Bea and Tom play Scrabble, she makes the word “Potter” in honor of the author of the original The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter.
- Very fast moving in action, gags, and jokes.
- Surprisingly, many of the live scenes were filmed in Australia, although the story takes place in England.
Things I didn’t like:
- It veers VERY far from the gentle original.
- Harrods department store is mentioned several times. Americans may not know what it is. It’s similar to the famous Macy’s department store in New York City, enormous and hugely successful.
- It’s predictable, but still enjoyable.
- “And where did they get those little jackets? They’ve been there all along!” – Mr McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson)
