Only if you can afford £24.99.Buying this in 4K would be a great joke gift to give to your mate if they just bought their first 4K TV.
That's the joke.Only if you can afford £24.99.
I'll wait til this is five or six quid in Cex.
Thanks for the Review Cas; I grew up loving the Peter Rabbit Stories, so sounds like this film version would produce Blind Fury in me (Tiger Tank not Included). There MUST be a Beatrix Potter Estate (Normally is with anyone successful & famous & dead), and usually they have control of the Rights, so seems like the wool got firmly pulled over their eyes!
Grrrr!
You'd still be wasting your money

Personally, I refuse to give them any money, whatever the price. It's not just the misuse of Peter Rabbit, it's the message it's giving to kids. Nope I haven't seen it, so normally I won't comment on content until I have, but I trust Cas's judgement.
I've no inside knowledge of this one but amongst the possibilities are that a huge cheque proved most persuasive or the BPE signed a contract that did not give it script approval, or the contract allowed the filmmakers too much leeway in reversioning the characters for the big screen. If the property is in the public domain then it's open season anyway. I found the film at times just plain nasty, I can't see US audiences, where the real money is, going for it and as a franchise it's pretty much dead out of the gate now.

Got to disagreee with you all and say I thought it was pretty good. Forgetting the 'message' or being true to the source material, as a stand alone movie I enjoyed it and so did my fiance and 6 year old.
Ripsnorter, the concern you raise in your spoiler tag happens in lots of children's movies.
I actually watched this without sicking up in the back of my throat which is unusual for me when James Corden's involved.
my son quite enjoyed it , predictable but moderately entertaining
This is the only recent kids movie I have taken my kids to that they did not ask to get at home to watch again. That's all I have to say on the matter.
