'''''Peter Rabbit''''' is a [[Columbia Pictures]] and Sony Pictures Animation film directed by Will Gluck and released on February 9, 2018. The film is based on the ''[[Peter Rabbit]]'' stories created by [[Beatrix Potter]]. The movie [[Medium Blending|combines]] [[Live Action Adaptation|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.
 
Not to be confused for "[[The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends]]," "[[The Tale of Peter Rabbit]]" (This is one of the short stories were the movie was inspired from), and other works made by [[Beatrix Potter]].

* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Once Peter and the others found out about Tom's allergic to raspberriesblackberries, 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 [[Scare'Em Straight|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.
** The same can be said of Mr. Bouncer and Mrs. McGregor, who appears in a cameo.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: The setting is modern day, but the woodland animals all wear Edwardian clothing.
* [[And There Was Much Rejoicing]]: {{spoiler|After Old McGregor died from a heart attack, the woodland critters all run wild in the garden and mansion and threw a wild party.}}
Line 25 ⟶ 28:
* [[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|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...
{{quote|'''"Tom"(to Peter)''':And that's what separates us from the French.}}
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: Involving some of the more meat-eating animal characters, like Mr. Todd, who in the beginning was even hunting down Peter Rabbit. Also, in the books, he tried to turn Jemima Puddle-Duck into roast duck and would've gotten away with it, if it weren't for [[You Meddling Kids|those meddling dogs]].
* [[CGI]]
* [[Chaos While They're Not Looking]]: WheneverIn one scene, whenever Bea's back is turn (i.e. out of the room), Peter and Tom drop the [[Nice Guy|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...
{{quote|'''"Tom"(to Peter)''':And that's what separates us from the French.}} -->

* [[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.
