The feature was Sony Pictures’ biggest non-Bond film in the UK and held the top spot in the box office for four weeks in a row. Will Gluck will be returning to write and direct the sequel.

The movie will be based on Beatrix Potter’s stories of Peter Rabbit but will be an original story by Rob Liber and Will Gluck. Rose Bryne, Thomas McGregor, Domhall Gleeson, Sam Neil, Margot Robbie, James Cordon, Elizaeth Debicki and Daisy Ridley starred in the first movie.

The movie received mixed reviews. While some people found it endearing, others thought the CGI animals were more off-putting than cute and cuddly. The Guardian opened their review harshly:

“Prepare to enter a valley both uncanny and unfunny with this tiresome film, whose director and co-writer, Will Gluck, appears to have responded to an urgent question echoing inside his own head: ‘When, oh when will someone take the twee merchandisable ickiness of Beatrix Potter’s great creation Peter Rabbit and turn it into a sassy live-action animation like Babe or Alvin and the Chipmunks?'”

Still, the movie fared well with family audiences and if Sony Pictures have faith in the sequel, it can’t be too dire. I guess we’ll have to wait 2 years to find out.

Will Gluck, director of Easy A, took the story, which is over one hundred years old, and put it into a charmingly funny modern context. The animals are re-imagined as anthropomorphic digitized photo/animation hybrids. It sounds awful in theory, but Peter Rabbit remains adorable and there is something very sweet about the vast display of human emotions on his little rabbit face.

The story follows Peter Rabbit’s feud with Mr. McGregor as they rival for the affections of the animal lover next door. James Corden does a wonderful job voicing Peter and the movie has largely been received better than expected. The feature is lively, funny and brings a new 21st-century touch to the original and widely loved tale.

Naturally, not everyone will appreciate watching Peter Rabbit adopt millennial text lingo like “homies” and “chill” and the digital adaption might seem a little crass for some. Arguably, however, the movie succeeds in keeping the story alive by bringing it to a new generation in a way which it will be cheerfully received. A charming movie that will probably split Peter Rabbit fans down the middle, but at least has the potential to entertain all.
