Perhaps many viewers like to use Peter Rabbit and Paddington Bear as a comparison, and by the way transplant the expectations of "Paddington Bear" to this film. For example, I like Paddington's likable character: naughty, but polite; trouble, but do bad things out of good intentions. So he can not only make people laugh, but also easily get the favor of the audience. In their hearts, the rabbit should be like this bear.
In contrast, the Beide Rabbit siblings are a bunch of crazy rabbits. They rushed into human vegetable gardens, tossed around at home, celebrated after human died of a heart attack, threw allergens at humans, shocked humans... for nothing, no compassion, from the perspective of humans, such rabbits are really not cute at all , even a little annoying.
However, no one stipulates that rabbits must be kind!
There is no traditional family fun in this film, and some are just jokes full of contradictions and conflicts; there is no cover-up of death, and some are just cruelty of the struggle for survival. This kind of courage to face reality I tasted many years ago in Eugene O'Neill's writings, rough, but powerful, imploding in the depths. The film contains both thoughtful characters and a witty sense of humor. But one thing must be emphasized: this is an underrated work that deserves more attention than most cartoons.
In fact, the relationship between people and animals can be beautiful and simple. In fact, if you are willing to take a step back, the relationship between us may take a big step forward.
