{{tropelist}}

* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Once Peter and the others found out about Tom's allergic to blackberries, they exploit this.

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[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]]

* [[Character Title]]: '''Peter Rabbit'''

** Averted in a minute, when it's shown that it's not just Peter Rabbit, there's his cousin Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle Duck, and many other Beatrix Potter characters.

* [[The City vs. the Country]]: Played straight. Thomas McGregor mentions that he hates the countryside and just wants to clean up the McGregor mansion to sell it.

** Averted. Thomas encounters some people that called him the equivalent of a "Country Bumpkin."

** Averted again. {{spoiler|Thomas McGregor got rid of his prejudices entirely at the end to the point that he came back for Bea and doesn't want to sell the McGregor house.}}

* [[Creative Closing Credits]]: Not only does it go into a style that resembles Beatrix Potter's watercolor paintings, it {{spoiler|shows Thomas McGregor, Bea, and the woodland animals repairing their damage homes, placing the tree upright and back on the Rabbits' Burrow, and repairing the roof of Bea's house to name a few.}}

* [[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.

* [[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.

** {{spoiler|Until, they and McGregor found a middle ground and he started allowing them into the garden and allow Tom's romance with Bea to grow more at the end.}}

* [[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.

* [[Groin Attack]]: While the animals are pelting Thomas with fruits and vegetables are this, hence the reason why he was kneeling.

** Same with Benjamin Bunny, who lost his father prior the film's events.

* [[Interspecies Adoption]]: According to Peter, the Narrator, the Rabbit family, and some of the other wooodland critters, they looked to Bea like a second Mother and say that she kinda adopted them.

* [[It's All My Fault]]: Peter made an apology speech, but another character states that he just flatout sucks with apologies.

** When {{spoiler|Peter shows Bea the detonator, clearing Thomas's name.}}

** Several times with Thomas, it knocks him out and he didn't wake up until nightfall.

** {{spoiler|Also, happens to the couple mansion buyers.}}

* [[Literally Loving Thy Neighbor]]: This happens to Bea and Thomas McGregor as the movie progress.

* [[The Merch]]: In Universe example. {{spoiler|Peter and Benjamin Bunny are seen some scene later with patriotic Union Jack and other British merch, once they finally made it to Harrods.}}

* [[Race Against the Clock]]: {{spoiler|Peter Rabbit and his friends realized that they have to bring McGregor back to fix things straight with Bea, since she's leaving and both parties will never see her again. They are pressed with short amount of time.}}

* [[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 {{spoiler|Pingling Bland fell from the ceiling, this freaks the couple, who bought the McGregor house when Thomas changed his mind, despite how the sale was a final thing.}}

* [[Running Gag]]

** The [[Mouse Trap]]-ish traps which are all concocted by Peter Rabbit.

* [[Underside Ride]]: The Rabbits attempted this, but were thrown off in a minute.

* [[Unexpected Inheritance]]: {{spoiler|When the previous McGregor died, Thomas inherited the mansion and garden quite unexpectedly.}}

* [[Wild Teen Party]]: Turning this trope into an animal version, once {{spoiler|Old MacGregor died.}} The animals threw an insane party at the manor.

* [[Trope]]: Thomas was about to drop the small bag over the bridge when {{spoiler|he realizes that Benjamin wasn't there, instead it's the binoculars.}}
