Peter Rabbit

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.

Just because it's not the original when you was a kid doesn't mean you should call it a disgrace and it's not original Peter rabbit. This is aimed at kids and my daughter starts to smile when it comes on and loves watching it. Absolute shame this programme has stopped making more episodes.

Reading the reviews and the number of people that mention shoes. What about the fact they created a whole new character?!?

It's a good little series with energy and some very annoying songs and sayings that will likely haunt me long after my little one has grown up.

I've been knowing Peter Rabbit for 19 years. However, my interest in the character regained only a few years earlier. When I learned that Nick Jr. has a series featuring Peter and other characters from Beatrix Potter's books, I went on the web to know more. But when I saw an ad of the series online, I was a bit surprised that Peter is missing shoes. Why is Peter missing shoes? Could this indicate that whoever made the series read Potter's books in such a fast pace and didn't look at the illustrations hard enough. If I was the one supervising the creation of the series, I'd make sure Peter will have some dainty footwear. Peter wears shoes in the original books as well as in other adaptations that are more faithful. Portrayiing a character wearing something shouldn't be too difficult. Anyway, despite the discrepancy, I do enjoy the show a bit. I just can't say that I'm impressed.

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.
