Corden dismisses ‘snobby’ Peter Rabbit film critics
James Corden has accused those claiming Beatrix Potter would not have liked his live action Peter Rabbit film of being “snobby”.
The actor and talk show host lends his voice to the famous animal in his first big screen depiction. It is the first time the Potter estate has given permission for a film but some detractors have said the author, who died in 1943, would not have been happy with the results.
Asked about the mixed views on Potter’s opinion as he arrived at the London premiere of the film, Corden told the Press Association: “Those mixed views I have never have understood, really.”
