   Not as bad as The Emoji Movie (the nadir of Sony Pictures Animation thus far), only for the fact Domnhall Gleason puts a lot more into his role as the villian Peter McGregor than any one else would or should. 5 years 8 months ago

   Peter Rabbit marries Beatrix Potter's animal stories to a Looney Toons sensibility that creates a fun, energetic, and most importantly, funny universe where wildlife can speak and wear clothes, but the humans don't notice much. I thoroughly enjoyed and found myself giggling throughout, in particular at the recurring gags featuring the supporting cast of creatures (the rooster, the deer, the birds...). The Potter reader I saw this with confirmed it evoked elements of Potter's original, even if it went its own way with both the story and tone, and yes, it does use Potter's illustrations in ways that are useful to the story. And though the action and humor isn't necessarily Pottery, the harshness of her world is there. Peter Rabbit takes his war with McGregor too far, and is not entirely sympathetic. That said, there are some weaknesses in the script. I'm not sure Young McGregor is really convincing as the object of Bea's affection, and the confusion surrounding who is narrating the tale is an unnecessary complication. But for older kids (younger kids yammered throughout the human scenes because getting promotions, selling houses and falling in love just doesn't interest them) and at least THIS adult, Peter Rabbit offers a charming and amusing storybook adventure. 6 years ago
