IT was OK and avoided a very very bad chapter, and I say that as a fan of the book. Still see lego instead.

World Famous W posted:The former is in about as much as the book (I don't remember it being overly explicit, just cringy in the book). The latter cut completely thankfully. Yeah, gotta say, I'm not a huge fan of that book. There's an argument to be made about portraying despicable acts in literature, however stephen king is genre fiction

Anyways, IT is very good but it has already broken just about every box office record related to R-rated films and horror movies out there so if nothing else I'd say Ninjago needs your money more.

There's already a recent CGI Peter Rabbit series (that my two-year-old loves), which is pretty mediocre and has modernised some of the characters in dumb ways (Squirrel Nutkin being a hyperactive flying-helmet-and-goggles-wearing twat, for instance), but most of them are fairly close to the Potter originals and the animation style at least pays lip service to the look of her artwork. This looks godawful, though. And Peter reminds me of this loving nightmare that traumatised me as a child:

I'm pretty sure they're all just filled with pictures of a rabbit in a blue shirt eating carrots. I bet most pages are blank. No one remembers Peter Rabbit. He exists as vague recollection.

The extent of the story I remember is him raiding a nearby farm for veggies, chowing down, getting caught, making a close escape that costs him his blue shirt, then getting mocked by all the other rabbits for being a naked rabbit, as if rabbits aren't usually naked (I mean, to be fair I guess they aren't in that universe). That's where the story ends. The moral is obviously "eating somebody else's food turns you into a nudist."

The market for this is entirely people 30+ who vaguely recall that Peter Rabbit was a book they knew about as a kid, and therefore it's probably better than modern commercialized garbage so I'll let my kids watch it. It's pretty clever, really.

I'm happy to hear James Corden's voice in a movie again. That man is a dreamboat... ...except he's losing some points for this one. Couldn't he just wait for Zootopia 2? http://www.cartoonbrew.com/disney/unlikely-source-confirmed-disney-making-zootopia-sequel-153056.html I'm gonna call this plausible because this is exactly how we learned about Ralph Breaks the Internet.

Sometimes I try to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they just cut the trailer to be "modern" to appeal to kids. But no. There was a shot of Peter Rabbit making it rain with lettuce leaves. And not to sound like an edgy, grimdark loving idiot, but if they include an uncomfortable scene of the farmer catching and killing one of the other rabbits eating out of his garden I would actually be onboard. It'll be the Watership Down of this generation.

I have a ceramic peter rabbit on my shelf that my mum made for me when I was a child, and i saw a BBC adaptation of Peter rabbit on TV just yesterday. All the many many cartoon adaptations have had a similar folksy fairy tale tone which is not at all present in this trailer. Basically think of it like seeing a trailer for a new take on Winnie the Pooh and instead of the character you are familiar with winnie is yelling "radical" while doing sick skateboard tricks and vaping honey.

Peter Rabbit made his first appearance in 1902 in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Peter disobeys his mother's orders and sneaks into Mr. McGregor's garden, eating as many vegetables as he can before Mr. McGregor spots him and chases him about. Peter manages to escape, but not before losing his jacket and shoes, which Mr. McGregor uses to dress a scarecrow. Peter returns home weary and ill and is put to bed with a dose of chamomile tea. In The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, first published in 1904, Peter's cousin Benjamin Bunny brings him back to Mr. McGregor's garden and they retrieve the clothes Peter lost in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. But after they gather onions to give to Peter's mother, they are captured by Mr. McGregor's cat. Benjamin's father arrives and rescues them, but also reprimands Peter and Benjamin for going into the garden by whipping them with a switch. In this tale, Peter displays some trepidation about returning to the garden. In The Tale of The Flopsy Bunnies, first published in 1909, Peter has a small role and appears only briefly. He is grown up and his sister Flopsy is now married to his cousin Benjamin Bunny. The two are the parents of six little Flopsy Bunnies. Peter and his mother keep a nursery garden[a] and the bunnies come by asking him for spare cabbage. In The Tale of Mr. Tod, first published in 1912, Benjamin and Flopsy's children are kidnapped by notorious badger Tommy Brock. Peter helps Benjamin chase after Brock, who hides out in the house of the fox, Mr. Tod. Mr. Tod finds Brock sleeping in his bed and as the two get into a scuffle, Peter and Benjamin rescue the children. Peter makes cameo appearances in two other tales. In The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, first published in 1905, Peter and Benjamin are customers of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, a hedgehog washerwoman. The two rabbits are depicted in one illustration peeping from the forest foliage. In The Tale of Ginger and Pickles, first published in 1909, Peter and other characters from Potter's previous stories make cameo appearances in the artwork, patronising the shop of Ginger and Pickles.

I for some reason remember a tale of Peter Rabbit where McGregor killed Peter at the end. I'm not sure if this actually happened but....Owlofcreamcheese posted:Peter Rabbit made his first appearance in 1902 in The Tale of Peter Rabbit.

This is the most British thing I've read today. I like it. ...his sister Flopsy is now married to his cousin Benjamin Bunny... If this happens in the movie, it'd be for comedic effect and it'd be some stereotypical redneck wedding played off because lol the Southern US. It'd be the jewel of poo poo in the already awful movie. My friends already want to see it...
