Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

nrennie-314-30631 I love Peter Rabbit. When I was a child, my parents read it to me and it captivated me. However when I read these reviews, it's clearly from adults who take life far too seriously!My 1 year old son is entranced by this series and has the biggest smile when he hears the theme tune.The stories are fun, educational and above all, young children love them - including my 1 year old son.If adults don't like it, they should probably watch TV for their age and grow up a little.

rarecorruptedconky Looking back at the original illustrations by Beatrix Potter, you'll notice that Peter not only wears a jacket but also a pair of shoes. After Potter's book became such a hit, various versions of the tale where made. Some very faithful to the original, and some not so much. While the creators of this show did a good job in giving the rabbit his iconic blue jacket, I was disappointed that they (probably) forgot to give him shoes. Where are the shoes? This obscene flaw is something that has been done in a number of renditions of the tale. I suppose those who made those renditions have bad eyesight, and didn't notice Peter has shoes in the original story. It also doesn't get any better in this generation as Sony will release a feature film depicting Peter Rabbit but also following a similarly obscene direction.

roocadillac85 I recently saw some media related to the show a few hours ago. Yes, the characters are cute which is common for a show directed to children. However, I have other thoughts as well. Just like the original books, Peter has his trademarked blue jacket and brown fur. But unlike the books, this version of Peter lacks shoes. In other adaptations, the rabbit is seen wearing mary janes or sneakers. I can only wonder why he's barefoot here. Anyway, everything else about the show (such as the stories and setting) is fine if not excellent. Eversince making a debut many decades ago, Beatrix Potter's most famous character has appeared in various media adaptations.

amisha_amisha As a lover of the traditional Peter Rabbit tales (books) by Beatrix Potter, I find this adaptation an absolute insult to Potters' wonderful tales of bravery, morality, kindness and change. It is one thing to take a much-loved literary work and transpose it into television, and it is completely another thing to take a work and change its message, tone and intended coda. Unfortunately, "Peter Rabbit" falls into this latter category. Sure the animation is quite cool, the colours are bright and the characters are appealing to children, but they will not learn the true messages and feelings that Ms Potter initially conveyed in her original, beautifully illustrated, and fantastic works. Why not just create an original cartoon about animals, instead of ripping off parts of Potters' tales, reworking them and making them clumsy. The producers of this series should be ashamed of themselves.If you want to watch a beautiful version of Peter Rabbit, skip this atrocious series and watch an original - "The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends (TV series 1992-).
