Film Critic, age 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway<\/em> is a family-friendly comedy-adventure film. I loved watching whimsical animated film. It had me laughing from beginning to end. The crazy adventures of Peter and the animals are highly entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Enjoy Calee N.&#039;s review of Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IfE2wy7-ZF4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Peterrabbit2.b.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1135\" width=\"225\" height=\"126\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In this film, the characters you loved from the first movie are back. A beautiful wedding, a new business, and a perfect life on the farm appeared to be all Peter Rabbit and his family need, but things change when a book Bea wrote about the rabbits gets an opportunity to be published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director Will Gluck and screenwriter Patrick Burleigh bring back Peter Rabbit with a new adventure while maintaining what we love about the characters from the first movie. The talented voice-overs of Peter Rabbit (James Corben), Mopsy (Elizabeth Debicki), Flopsy (Margot Robbie), Cottontail (Aimee Horne), and Barnabas (Lennie James) bring life to the characters and laughter. Of course, a comedy-adventure is nothing without a proper soundtrack. The music by Dominic Lewis keeps up with the high-energy animal mischief and helps build emotion. Art directors Nicholas Dare and Sophie Nash create realistic computer-generated animals that could easily play the lead actors in any movie, including humans. Their personalities will have movie viewers falling in love with them and cheering their victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Peterrabbit2.c.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1134\" width=\"225\" height=\"126\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Through Peter Rabbit\u2019s adventures on the farm and in the city, we learn that the importance of \u201cfamily\u201d is a continuous theme throughout the film. Unfortunately, Peter makes the mistake of letting the judgment of others question his character. However, the unconditional love from his siblings, cousin Bea, Thomas and the other animals helps him realize he doesn\u2019t have to be perfect to be loved. Bea and Thomas finally understand that \u201cfamily\u201d comes in all shapes and sizes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I rate <em>Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway<\/em> 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 3 to 18. Adults will also enjoy sharing laughs with their families. <em>Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway<\/em> premieres in theaters June 11, 2021 and on Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thomas and Bea are now married and living with Peter and his rabbit family.
