The New Adventures of Peter Rabbit

Peter Rabbit is an anthropomorphic rabbit in Beatrix Potter's books. As a character, he is best known wearing a jacket and shoes. As the copyright for the book expired some time after its release, various adaptations of The Tale of Peter Rabbit have been made. But if there's anything I can't understand about some of those adaptations, that is some of them depict Peter without shoes. And this show is one of them. I wonder why? Even the 2012 Nick Jr. series has a similar style. Could it be that the shoes Peter wears in the original books are invisible to some readers which is why they made him shoeless in some adaptations? I don't know why but there's certainly nothing wrong in giving him footwear. It's either the omission is purposely done or those who seen the books need their eyes check. This show is certainly a disappointing rendition of the character.

First off, I want to state that this is not an adaptation, hence the title The New Adventures of Peter Rabbit. With that said, I find the whole thing to be very charming on the whole. The story is charming, droll, simple, and sweet, just like the book and others in the series such as Benjamin Bunny, Squirrel Nutkin, Jeremy Fisher, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Two Bad Mice, and Tom Kitten. Add to that the fact that the animation is colourful and whimsical and like the Beatrix Potter books has good lessons without feeling preachy. The songs, while not masterpieces, are very enjoyable, and some parts are very funny such as when Peter's sisters (although I was under the impression that he had three rather than four) are trying to warn he and Benjamin of Mr McGregor's cat and they think it's a prank, when Benjamin says that Mopsy needs to lose weight before getting stuck in the fence, Mr McGregor's quips about rabbit stew, and the "rabbit inspector" joke, to name but a few. In addition to the songs, there is also some very lovely background music. I was able to recognize Papageno's entrance from The Magic Flute in the background during the scene where they meet Fluff and the Russian Dance from the Nutcracker when Benjamin is about to be cooked. All in all, not the best thing ever but I enjoy it.

This is one of the best adaptations of Beatrics Potter's Peter rabbit that I've ever seen. It is so fun I enjoyed every minute of it

I love the song veggies veggies. Cam Clarke did an amazing job.

This movie name is the New adventures of Peter rabbit in the first place I don't think this movie will be this classic but after watching this movie I can see that all I can say is wow wow wow golden film has been doing so many super film lately all the time.

A delightful new version of Beatrix Potter's children's classic story. Peter Rabbit is an adorable cottontail who is fond of tall tales. He and his cousin Benny get into all sorts of trouble but in the end he conquers all and returns the family home. We love this film.
