As a lover of the traditional Peter Rabbit tales (books) by Beatrix Potter, I find this adaptation an absolute insult to Potters' wonderful tales of bravery, morality, kindness and change.
It is one thing to take a much-loved literary work and transpose it into television, and it is completely another thing to take a work and change its message, tone and intended coda. Unfortunately, "Peter Rabbit" falls into this latter category.
Sure the animation is quite cool, the colours are bright and the characters are appealing to children, but they will not learn the true messages and feelings that Ms Potter initially conveyed in her original, beautifully illustrated, and fantastic works. Why not just create an original cartoon about animals, instead of ripping off parts of Potters' tales, reworking them and making them clumsy. The producers of this series should be ashamed of themselves.
If you want to watch a beautiful version of Peter Rabbit, skip this atrocious series and watch an original - "The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends (TV series 1992-).
