Peter Rabbit team issues an apology

-

Peter Rabbit filmmakers and its studio are apologizin­g for insensitiv­ely depicting a character’s allergy in the film that has prompted a backlash online. Sony Pictures and the filmmakers say “food allergies are a serious issue” and the film “should not have made light” of a character being allergic to blackberri­es. The rabbits fling the fruit at Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) and he is forced to use an EpiPen.
