| Peter Rabbit |
| The world-famous tales of Peter Rabbit from the
much-loved children's author Beatrix Potter. A traditional favourite of
grandparents; these wonderful videos and DVDs make superb presents which
allow modern children to take in the literature of a traditional countryside
childhood. Using well-known actors for the voiceovers, these stories are
readily accepted by children and their parents. Whilst the animation is
soft and cutesy, this provides great entertainment
(which it undoubtedly is) but is educational too. |
| All-in-all, a set of classics which will endure for years and still capture the interest
for adults and children alike even after seeing it many times. |

Beatrix Potter - Peter Rabbit

|
The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends |
Includes: 'The
Tale Of Peter Rabbit And Benjamin Bunny', 'The Tale Of Flopsy Bunnies And
Mrs Tittlemouse' and 'The Tale Of Tom Kitten And Jemima Puddleduck'.
The DVD consists of 3 episodes of about 25 minutes each - just long enough
to have a welcome break from toddler watching but not too long to feel you
are allowing them to become square-eyed couch potatoes. Each episode is
clever blending of 2 of Beatrix Potter classic books for children. Tales
featuring some of her best known characters are included in this DVD;
Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, The Flopsy Bunnies, Mrs Tittlemouse, Tom
Kitten and Jemima Puddleduck . The animation is really exquisite, with
superbly witty characterisation and attention to detail, and so completely
true to the originals that it is a pleasure for even the keenest Beatrix
Potter fans to watch them. No disappointments or nasty surprises as with
so many book-to-film adaptations.
Each episode starts and
finishes with a well acted introduction with Niamh Cusack as Beatrix
Potter. This is beautifully filmed at Beatrix Potter's House in the Lake
District. The scenery, wildlife and haunting soundtrack make them well
worth watching.
