Peter Rabbit is a 2018 live-action animated comedy film based on the character from The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. It was directed by Will Gluck and written by Gluck and Rob Lieber. The film stars Rose Byrne, Domhnall Gleeson, Sam Neill, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste in live-action roles; Byrne, Gleeson, and Neill also voice animated characters, in addition to the voices of Margot Robbie as Flopsy Rabbit and the narrator, and James Corden as the titular character. The film follows 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.
