Peter Rabbit is a Sony film that was released on February 9, 2018, it was directed by Will Gluck. The film is based on the Peter Rabbit stories created by Beatrix Potter. The movie combines Live Action, CGI, and 2D Animation. Peter (and his family)'s feud with the McGregor ascends to newer heights when they both want the affections of their neighbor, Bea, a kind animal/nature lover.

""Tom"(to Peter):And that's what separates us from the French."
 * Achilles Heel: Once Peter and the others found out about Tom's allergic to raspberries, they exploit this.
 * Adaptation Personality Change: Both cousins, Peter and Benjamin; were more bold, naughty, and reckless in the books before they were trapped by Mr.McGregor's cat which turned them into more cautious and responsible rabbits. Here it's as though they haven't learn their lessons and are just as selfish and immature long after meeting McGregor.
 * Adaptational Heroism: In the books, Tommy Brock, the badger, kidnapped Benjamin Bunny's kids with the primarily intent of having them for dinner...Literally. Here he doesn't do a thing and appears to be on good terms with Peter and his family.
 * Adapted Out: The Rabbits' Mother, Josephine Rabbit, and Mr. Bouncer, Benjamin's father, are no where to be seen. Partially justified, since Josephine died before the movie's events.
 * Animated Movie
 * Anachronism Stew: The setting is modern day, but the woodland animals all wear Edwardian clothing.
 * And There Was Much Rejoicing:
 * Art Shift: Some of the sequences told are through Bea's paintings that are in the style of the original books.
 * Author Avatar: Bea, who is very kindhearted, is an animal and nature lover, and paints for a living, is a modernized/fictionalize version of Beatrix Potter.
 * Badass Decay: Mr. Todd. In the books, the rabbits have good reasons to be terrified of him. The movie has Mr. Todd as one of the woodland neighbors.
 * Bad Liar: Bea thinks Tom is this, because
 * Blown Across the Room: This happens to Tom several times after when Peter and his friends rewire the new electric pest device.
 * British Businesses
 * Broken Aesop: The message about sharing is really undercut by the animals' selfish behavior and numerous thefts.
 * Canon Foreigner: Mainly the humans. - Thomas McGregor, who is the great-grand nephew of the original Mr. McGregor.
 * Bea, who is a local animal lover, counts as well.
 * Chaos While They're Not Looking: Whenever Bea's back is turn (i.e. out of the room), Peter and Tom drop the nice guy act and try to duke it out of each other. Just when the younger McGregor was about to smash Peter with a book, they hear Bea coming back...


 * CGI
 * Denser and Wackier: This movie hams it up and is currently more over-the-top compare to the books, which are just whimsical. Plus, the movie has a heavy emphasis on pop culture references and slapstick humor.
 * Distracted by the Sexy: This happens to Thomas McGregor, he only half listen to Bea's "Please leave the garden gates unlock for the animals." Suggestion, since he was distracted.
 * Don't Explain The Joke: Peter hears his cousin, Benjamin, saying this to him, when he's really explaining a joke he told.
 * Does This Remind You of Anything?: Peter getting jealous and seeing the new McGregor as a threat, because Bea is spending more time with him, instead of hanging out with her animal friends. Sort of resembles a family pet getting jealous at the new significant other/spouse.
 * Entitled Bastard: The animals really think they have the right to take whatever they want from the McGregor's garden, since it's part of "their home," forget the fact that they don't grow, plant, tend, weed, and etc. the fruits and vegetables themselves.
 * Gory Discretion Shot: Thanks to a stone brick wall, we don't see in dept details on Old McGregor killing Mr. Rabbit. Though we do see Mrs. McGregor serving rabbit pie to her husband.
 * Green-Eyed Monster: Other than being prevented from raiding the garden, Peter is jealous of the younger McGregor, since the latter quickly charms and wins over Bea.
 * In Name Only: What the film shares with the original book series are that the characters share the same names, even looks, as their original counterparts from the books. Besides that, there's no other resemblance between them.
 * Live Action
 * Kid Hero All Grown-Up: Some of the Beatrix Potter characters, like Peter, his triplet sisters, and Benjamin Bunny are all grown ups here in this adaption. - Well in the first two books.
 * Moral Dissonance: The forest critters are generally upset that both McGregors kept them from eating food that they didn't work for, so having
 * Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date: Thomas McGregor and Bea did this and made a short trip in the nearby river.
 * PG Explosives: The small dynamite that Thomas bought from, he then puts some of these in the Rabbit Burrow.
 * Product Placement: Ranging from Beanie Babies and whatnot, it's Up to Eleven, 'cause this is Harrods.
 * Power Walk:
 * Reactive Continuous Scream: Happens two times: the first was when Thomas McGregor uncovers Pigling Bland, who is hiding underneath a sheet. The second time is
 * Setting Update: As mentioned earlier, the film takes place in current year. Whereas the original books were written and took place during the Edwardian Era.
 * Talking to Himself: Old Mr. McGregor and Tommy Brock share Sam Neil.
 * Mr. Jeremy Fisher and Thomas McGregor both have Domhnall Gleeson.
 * Rose Byme does both Bea and Jemima Puddle-Duck.
 * Toilet Humor: Too many to list, there's:
 * Peter can't resist the ramming a carrot at Old McGregor's butt crack.
 * Stuff Blowing Up: The Loony Toons way this film does these is this.
 * Ultimate Universe: Despite the title, both the trailer and the film shows almost every character from every Potter story.
