Peter Rabbit is an animated comedy children's television series for preschool children that debuted on the Nick Jr. Channel on 14 December 2012, in the United States and on CBeebies and BBC One on 25 December 2012, in the United Kingdom.[3][4] It is based on the character of the same name from Beatrix Potter's children’s books. The series debuted on American TV and iTunes on 14 December 2012, with the pilot episode debuting as a Christmas holiday special, titled Peter Rabbit's Christmas Tale. The show became a regular series on 19 February 2013, in the USA.[5] The first official DVD of Peter Rabbit was released on 28 May 2013, as a Walmart exclusive. It contains the programme's first eight episodes on a single disc.[6] On 11 October 2013, Nickelodeon ordered a second series of 26 episodes.[7] In Wales the series is known as Guto Gwningen and is dubbed into Welsh on S4C.

A springtime holiday special episode, titled Peter Rabbit's Springtime Tale (with the actual episode titled "The Tale of the Start of Spring"), aired on 29 March 2013, on iTunes in the USA.

Season 1 concluded on 7 October 2014. The programme ran for a total of two series before concluding on 6 May 2016. It was produced for Nickelodeon in the US by Brown Bag Films, Penguin Books and Silvergate Media.[8] The programme still airs reruns on CBeebies in the UK.

The series features and revolves around the titular character Peter Rabbit (voices of Colin DePaula and L. Parker Lucas in the US version and Connor Fitzgerald, and Harry Henty in the UK version) and his younger cousin Benjamin Bunny (voice of Peter Steve Harris in the US version, and Danny Price in the UK version), along with the new character of Lily Bobtail (voice of Michaela Dean in the US version, and Harriet Perring and Poppy Labrosse in the UK version).

The programme features educational goals that encourage preschoolers to learn problem-solving, interpersonal skills, being aware, self-efficacy, resilience, positive re-framing and fostering an interest in and respect for nature.

Synopsis

[edit]

The programme follows Peter Rabbit and his friends as he overcomes obstacles, outwits predators and avoids danger. Peter wants to grow up to be just like his late father and carries his journal (a guide on how to be a good rabbit) on his adventures with his friends, cousin Benjamin Bunny and new character Lily Bobtail, in the Lake District of northern England.[9]

Characters

[edit]

Main

[edit]
  • Peter Rabbit – The main protagonist of the series. A mischievous, curious, quick-witted, street smart, imaginative and adventurous young rabbit. He is also the eldest of his siblings. Unlike the character from the books, this version of Peter Rabbit lacks shoes. He also can be very hot-headed. Peter's catchphrases are "a good rabbit never gives up!", and "let's hop to it!"
  • Benjamin Bunny – Peter's cousin who joins him on his adventures. Unlike the character from the books, Benjamin is shorter and younger than Peter in this adaptation. He is portrayed as being cowardly, wimpy, clumsy, hungry and clueless but also good-natured, loyal, and kind. Benjamin's catchphrase is "rabbits are brave, rabbits are brave...", which he says when he is scared.
  • Lily Bobtail – Peter and Benjamin's quick-witted female best friend, who carries many useful objects in her pocket. Unlike Peter and Benjamin, who were based on the books by Beatrix Potter, Lily is a new character who was created by the production team for the series.[10] She carries many objects in a pocket on her dress. Lily's catchphrases are "I know that for a fact!", and "just in case pocket, just in case!"

Recurring

[edit]
  • Mr. Tod – The main antagonist of the series. A red fox who consistently fails to hunt down, capture, and devour the protagonists and other supporting characters.
  • Squirrel Nutkin – A short-tailed squirrel and the leader of the squirrels' tribe. He is Peter's friend, who saves Peter whenever he gets captured by Mr. Tod. His tail was cut off by Old Brown.
  • Felix – Squirrel Nutkin's right-hand man.
  • Josephine Rabbit – The widow of Mr. Rabbit, mother of Peter, Cotton-tail, Flopsy and Mopsy, aunt of Benjamin, and sister of Mr. Bouncer.
  • Flopsy and Mopsy – Peter's older, ignorant, arrogant, bossy and smug twin sisters. Mopsy is the older twin and Flopsy is the younger twin. They are Benjamin's twin cousins.
  • Cotton-Tail – Peter, Flopsy and Mopsy's baby sister, and Benjamin's youngest cousin.
  • Mr. Bouncer – Benjamin's single father. He is the uncle of Peter, Cotton-tail, Flopsy and Mopsy, the brother of Josephine, and brother-in-law of Mr. Rabbit. He likes to invent many things, which often go wrong.
  • Jeremy Fisher – A frog that Peter, Benjamin and Lily accidentally cause trouble for on occasion. He enjoys fishing and was friends with Peter's father. He has a passion for music, but cannot really sing.
  • Jemima Puddle-Duck – A kind yet very simple-minded duck that knows Peter and his friends well. She has three ducklings.
  • Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle – A hedgehog, washerwoman and one of the many townspeople Peter interacts with. She speaks with an Irish accent.
  • Ginger and Pickles – A cat and dog who run the village shop. Pickles is quite gruff while Ginger is more respectful of their customers.
  • Mr. McGregor – A human farmer whose vegetables are the target of Peter. His face is kept hidden. He is portrayed as an old man who gets winded often. He speaks with a Scottish accent.
  • Tommy Brock – An irritable badger that finds Peter and his friends obnoxious when they wake him up or disturb his possessions, but sometimes he gets along with them and even saves them from Mr. Tod. He enjoys eating worms.
  • Old Brown – A short-tempered owl that wants nothing but silence, thus he attacks anyone who makes a sound within his vicinity. He constantly chases after Nutkin for disrupting the peace.
  • Samuel Whiskers – A rat whose full name is Samuel Jeremiah Bartholomew Edmond Cornelius Whiskers.[11] He is always after an easy meal, preferably cakes and baked sweets, and often attempts to steal food from the other characters.
  • Dr. Warren Bobtail – Lily's father and the Rabbits' family doctor. He has a strong sense of smell.
  • Mrs. Bobtail – Warren's wife and Lily's mother.
  • Pig Robinson – A friendly pig that lives on a farm with his best friend Mittens. He loves to paint on his easel and tries to befriend everyone he meets.
  • Mittens – A young cat that lives on a farm with her best friend Pig Robinson. While somewhat hostile to Peter, Benjamin and Lily at first, she eventually warms up to them. She is aggressive towards any rodents, and loathes the idea of Tommy Brock moving in her farm.
  • Mr. Tolly – A tortoise, that, over his many years, has acquainted with many of Peter Rabbit's friends, enemies, as well as Peter's father with whom he went on many adventures with alongside Jeremy Fisher and Mr Bouncer.
  • Jack Sharp – A three-spined stickleback that once knew Mr. Rabbit. Often fights with Jeremy Fisher.
  • The Shrew – A shrew whose territory possesses a bountiful field of dandelions, which he guards against Peter Rabbit, or any other animal. He is the object of Cotton-tail's affection, much to his dismay.
  • The Tittlemouse siblings – Albert, Louisa and Stanley are mice siblings that are always trying to survive.

Fifty six episodes of the series have been aired as of 2016. Except "Peter Rabbit's Christmas Tale", all episode titles begin with "The Tale of". The American dub did not follow this titling method in season 2.
