On the edge of the calm and beautiful woods, there is a piece of land that has been opened up. Bey, a beautiful female artist who is frustrated, lives in a small house, paints, and lives in peace with the animals around, and even draws rabbits into the painting middle. Not far away, the neighbor, the old McGregor, has a big house and a large vegetable garden. Suspected that the rabbits were stealing his food, he hated the rabbits and wanted to drive them away.
Peter Rabbit led his three younger sisters, as well as his eldest cousin, to a battle of wits with McGregor, who died of a heart attack during a struggle. His nephew, who has a personality defect and a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, inherited the house and came here.
McGregor hates rabbits even more, but Bey falls in love with him and becomes more and more alienated from the rabbits. The rabbits, who lost their garden and Bey, fought McGregor in a tit-for-tat battle. They had clips all over his bed, rakes on the ground, reversed the circuit he used to shock the rabbits... McGregor couldn't take it anymore and bought dynamite to kill the rabbits, but by accident, Peter Rabbit detonated Dynamite blew up the rabbit den, and the tree smashed Bey's house.
Bey and McGregor broke up and wanted to sell the house and leave. McGregor has also sold the big house and is going back to London. The mature Peter Rabbit couldn't bear to see Bey sad, and went to London to find and persuade McGregor with his eldest cousin, came back together, confessed to Bey's mistake, and everyone lived together happily and happily.
Written and directed by Will Guller, Peter Rabbit is an Australian-US co-produced animated film released by Sony. Released in China in March 2018, it has box office of 168 million so far. Peter Rabbit 2, still directed by Will Guler, is slated for a February 2020 US release.
"Peter Rabbit" is adapted from the classic British fairy tale, and in 2012 the British filmed a diversity cartoon.
The animated film has a typical British taste, manor, vegetable garden, and various animals with typical characters, with its own funny and funny things. This double-added happy plot makes the story easy without losing depth. What is even more commendable is that the director gave each character a small characteristic image, so that the character is full and real, and when you see them, you can instinctively match the appearance of some human beings.
The triplets sisters have been arguing over who is the first to come down, which is related to who will be the eldest among the three of them. And all along, Mopsy always said that he was the first to come down and was the boss. When Wheat Gregor was blown away by dynamite, tomato juice splashed on his body. Mopsy thought he was going to die. Before dying, he comforted his sister Flopsy and said that she was the biggest.
When they found out that it was just tomato juice, Mopsy immediately denied what he said more than ten seconds ago. Although we can guess that it will not die, this kindness and comfort to my sister are undoubtedly a kind of explanation, so that my sister can be stronger, or be braver in grief. If it really died.
A pig with a celery keeps saying I'm going on a diet from now on. In the next second, food will disappear from its mouth. It will say again, from now on. Before taking two steps, something will disappear from its mouth again. When the friends took a lot of food, they politely asked him if he wanted to try it, and he said, just eat one. Then hum hum hum swept away in a few seconds. Like some fake polite people among humans?
The sly and vicious fox, only when he drinks too much at a party, is crazy enough to take off his clothes and run around the yard, shouting "naked, run!" excitedly, and shaved his belly by a prank by his friends Later, he also slipped away in inferiority. You see, it also has a cute side.
There is also a timid and silly weasel, a hedgehog who wants to eat peanut butter, a frog who sits on duckweed and fishes all day long... Each character has a cute side and complex emotional impulses. Together, they form the whole of nature, and they continue to drive the progress of the plot.
The story of "Peter Rabbit" is very simple. Humans build houses and occupy the area where rabbits live. Some humans represented by Bey believe that nature is shared by humans and animals and can drive rabbits away from stealing vegetables, but cannot hurt them. And some of the humans represented by McGregor believe that humans are the masters and animals should get out of the way.
This is one of the themes. Simple and not simple. As a movie, if it only expresses such a theme, it will be very thin and difficult to express, so the director added a second layer of theme, emotion.
The bond between Bey and Rabbit is the foundation. After losing his parents, Bey, as an older brother, has been pretending to be a strong presence to take care of his younger sisters. But it longs for motherly love in its heart and relies on Bey who is good to them. Also known as the Oedipus complex.
When Bey fell in love with McGregor, the two who fell in love were full of happiness, and the neglected rabbits felt lost, especially Peter Rabbit, whose struggle against McGregor was not only about land, but also Mixed with trying to get back the feelings. This is another real and valuable subject.
To sum up, I give "Peter Rabbit" 6.5 points.
I also support domestic animation, but domestic animation really doesn't seem to be very good at this kind of expression. There seems to be an illusion that the lofty theme of saving the world is just the right thing, but it's a big mistake.
