Writer/Producer/Director Will Gluck’s Peter
Rabbit is an entirely delightful film for children of all ages. It has the slapstick fun for the kids and the
dialogue and deeper meaning that will appeal to thinking adults, as well. Plus, the animation is outstanding!
The English countryside is the home of would-be painter Bea
(Rose Byrnes) and her beloved animal friends, principally Peter Rabbit (voiced
by James Corden). His amusement is
raiding the garden of Old Man McGregor (Sam Neill) and, when McGregor has a
heart attack, Peter and all the animals take over the McGregor estate; that is until McGregor’s nephew Thomas (Domhnall Gleeson)
comes to claim his inheritance.
When Peter is forced to wrestle for Bea’s attention as
she begins to fall for Thomas, he and Thomas declare all-out war against each
other, which accounts for loads of audience fun.
The voices of Margot Robbie, Daisy Ridley, Elizabeth
Debicki, Sia and Colin Moody add to the film’s charm.
Peter Rabbit gets a 4.5 out of
5. See it with an audience of children,
if you can. It will add to your
enjoyment.
