Peter Rabbit (2018)

Peter Rabbit is a 2018 live-action animated comedy film based upon the character of the same name created by Beatrix Potter, co-produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Animation, Olive Bridge Entertainment, Animal Logic, 2.0 Entertainment, and Screen Australia, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It was directed by Will Gluck, who also produced the film with Zareh Nalbandian, from a screenplay and story written by Gluck and Rob Lieber. Starring James Corden as the titular character, with Rose Byrne, Domhnall Gleeson, Sam Neill, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste appearing in live-action roles, as well as the voices of Daisy Ridley, Elizabeth Debicki, and Margot Robbie, it's about Peter Rabbit as he deals with new problems when the late Mr. McGregor's great nephew arrives and discovers the trouble Peter's family can get into. Peter Rabbit had its world premiere at The Grove on February 3, 2018. It was released in the United States of America on February 9, 2018, in the United Kingdom on March 16, 2018, and in Australia on March 22, 2018. The film received mixed reviews from critics, mainly for its deviations from the source material. It grossed $351 million worldwide on a $50 million budget. A sequel, Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, was released in 2021 without the involvement of Sony Pictures Animation, but did not gross as much as the first film.
