Peter Rabbit 2 (2021)
Based on Beatrix Potter’s beloved stories, Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway picks up the story of Peter Rabbit (once again voiced by multiple Emmy winner James Corden) and his human animal friends Bea and Thomas (Emmy nominee Rose Byrne and Saturn Award nominee Domhnall Gleeson, reprising their roles from the first film), who are muddling through life with the rabbits.
But Peter can’t seem to shake his mischievous reputation. Bored of life in the garden, he heads for the big city, where he meets shady characters and ends up creating chaos for the whole family.
Recommended for ages 7+, the sequel is better – and more fun – than its predecessor (2018’s Peter Rabbit), critics say, with The Australian calling it, “a school holiday treat that also delivers a kick or two for older viewers.”
Emmy nominee David Oyelowo (The Water Man and the voice of Scar in The Lion Guard) co-stars, with Oscar nominee Margot Robbie (aka Harley Quinn, and Barbie in next year’s live-action Barbie movie) as the voice of Flopsy and The Narrator, Critics Choice Award nominee Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown’s Princess Diana) voicing Mopsy, and BAFTA winner Lennie James (The Walking Dead’s Morgan Jones) voicing Barnabas.
Also listen out for the voices of Golden Globe nominee Hayley Atwell (Marvel’s Agent Carter) as Mittens, and Emmy nominee Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) as Tommy Brock, with multiple Grammy Award winner Sia as Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, and Tim Minchin (composer of Matilda the Musical) as Busker K Bushy, Esq.
