Peter Rabbit is a bold, mischievous rabbit who treats the McGregor garden as his home and food supply. After old Mr. McGregor dies, his London nephew Thomas arrives to take the farm and remove the animals. Peter fights Thomas with traps, tricks, and stolen vegetables while both rabbits and humans compete for Bea, a kind painter next door. Bright computer animation, fast jokes, and slapstick danger give the film a loud family-adventure tone.
The film gives Bea a large human role as an artist, a friend to the rabbits, and a calm voice between Peter and Thomas. Peter acts as the leader of his rabbit family, but his pride turns a fight over food and land into a personal war. Thomas brings order and ownership while Peter brings freedom and chaos, so both sides cause harm when they put winning first. Peter learns that revenge and glory matter less than forgiveness, friendship, and family.

0%
Identity-driven story themes
Not present. The story follows Peter’s selfish fight to keep his home and win Bea’s attention. Its main lessons concern guilt, forgiveness, friendship, and family.
0%
Western institutional / cultural critique
Not present. The conflict centers on a garden owner and animals who invade his land. The film uses slapstick against both sides, but it does not attack Western institutions, religion, family life, or social rules.
0%
Woke character or canon changes
Not relevant. The movie adds a modern plot, a young McGregor, and Bea as a larger character than in the books. These are ordinary story changes, not identity-driven changes.
0%
Anti-woke backlash and complaints
Not present. The supplied X research found no anti-woke reaction. News backlash focused on the blackberry allergy scene, not on woke, DEI, or identity politics.
0%
Creator track record context
Cached context gives Will Gluck, Beatrix Potter, and Rob Lieber low scores and shows no strong activist pattern. Most producers also have low scores. Emma Topping has described herself as a champion of underrepresented voices, and Jodi Hildebrand has supported women’s advancement work in film. This creates only a small creator track record signal.
