This sure ain't Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit! #book2movies

And you thought Peter Rabbit stealing a few carrots from Mr. McGregor was trouble! Purists may find this outlandish and silly trailer for what is surely an outlandish and silly re-imagining of Peter Rabbit a bit much. But I find it refreshing. I was expecting some lovely, hushed voice remake but this, this is balls to the walls fresh. Ridiculously so. The kids are gonna love it. Peter Rabbit stars James Corden as Peter, Domhnall Gleeson as Mr. McGregor with Rose Byrne andMargot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki and Daisy Ridley lending their voices as well.

Here’s the low down on the movie, due out February 9, 2018.

“Peter Rabbit, the mischievous and adventurous hero who has captivated generations of readers, now takes on the starring role of his own irreverent, contemporary comedy with attitude. In the film, Peter’s feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates to greater heights than ever before as they rival for the affections of the warm-hearted animal lover who lives next door (Rose Byrne).”

Of course, it’s easy for me to laugh. I no longer have little kidlets at home I have to take to the movies.
