The movie recently came out in theaters, all children and young adults that read Peter Rabbit when they were younger are getting excited to see the talking rabbit that (James Corden) that causes funny mischief. This phenomenal movie started with lovely birds singing in the peace and quiet then the main character runs into play my interrupting the singing birds, it then continues to show the animals home and his plan to steal vegetables and fruit from a grumpy old man Mr. McGregor (Sam Neill) who hates the critters around his property.

Peter is starting to plan, with his younger triplet sisters, Cotton-Tail (Daisy Ridley), Mopsy (Elizabeth Debicki), Flopsy (Margot Robbie) and their cousin Benjamin Bunny (Colin Moody), to grab the fruits and vegetables from the garden, Peter went inside while collecting fruits and vegetables from McGregor gardens and dodging McGregor. After a minute of Peter running away, he gets caught by McGregor and was about to meet his end until the nicer neighbor, Bea (Rose Byrne) she helped the rabbits inside her house.

Peter thought of a flashback of a happy life with Peter and his father and mother and other siblings. Soon after, McGregor moves in and takes the only food source of the bunnies, leaving Peter and his family was starving, Peter’s father decides to go in McGregor garden, only to get caught and killed and cooked, with Peter crying in front of the garden.

After the animals take their land back, the scene switches to London showing McGregor’s nephew, Thomas McGregor, hearing the news of the event, after he got fired. He then decided to go to the house and take it back from the animals partying in the house proving that he is worse than his uncle. He then decided to the sell house while also getting close to Bea. Peter then decided to create an evil and funny plan to get rid of him.

The Director of the film, Will Gluck, had some directing experience from are  Easy A (2010), Friends with Benefits (2011) and Annie (2014). Also, Gluck was a good choice for this lovable movie because the more mischief and funny part from the book and interactions between the animated characters and the real people because it gives a real feeling towards the movie. The choice of actors and actresses gives an away more funny feeling because Jame Corden has a successful live comedy show. The movie also has Margot Robbie who was in Suicide Squad, The Wolf of Wall Street, I, Tonya and Focus. Daisy Ridley also acted in both the new Star Wars movies, Murder on the Orient Express. 

I hope you hop in the movie chair to see it.
