Peter Rabbit hops again

SEQUEL: BEATRIX POTTER’S LITTLE RASCAL CREATES MORE MAYHEM An undemanding, visually appealing adventure that will please youngsters.

Beatrix Potter’s celebrated rabbit family comes to life again in this sequel which, as did its predecessor, effortlessly blends live action with realistic computer-animated images.

It’s a sweet story that will appeal to the younger generation and focuses on Peter (voiced by James Cordon), who is up to his old tricks again.

The little rascal cannot shake off his reputation for creating mischief wherever he goes.

When Bea (Rose Byrne), an accomplished children’s book illustrator, is offered a book deal, she and her hubby, Thomas (Domhnall Gleeson), head for the town of Gloucester, with Peter and the furry family in tow.

Peter, as is his usual manner, breaks away from the main party.

All in all, director Will Gluck has created an undemanding, visually appealing adventure, with a couple of perfectly clean human characters and a glimpse of the dangers of a world beyond Farmer McGregor’s garden of harmony.
