Peter Rabbit (Rated PG)
Created by Beatrix Potter, unassuming Peter Rabbit, captivated generations. Here he is traded-in for a newer, noisier model. Here, Peter (Domhnall Gleeson) and siblings Flopsy (Margot Robbie), Mopsy (Elizabeth Debicki) and Cottontail (Daisy Ridley) are confronted by old farmer McGregor’s bunny-hating nephew. Protected by animal-lover Bea (Rose Bryne), the rabbits attempt to expose young anti-bunny McGregor, but he is sweet on Bea and pretends the bunnies are his friends. Meant to be hip, this aggressively comical Peter can be amusing, but he is no longer Potter’s creation. (L.M.)
