Peter was always naughty in the original books of course, but naughty in the sense that his worst crime was to break into Mr McGregor’s garden and have a go at his lettuces.

In this film, the rabbit – voiced by James Corden – has all the confidence of an irritating American frat boy, breaking into people’s private property, throwing loud, raucous house parties and terrifying any poor human that crosses his path.

Plus, you know, the bird murder we mentioned earlier. Burder.

The official plot synopsis for the film, in which Byrne plays an animal-loving neighbour, and Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley voice Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail, released to journalists states that it is an “irreverent, contemporary comedy with attitude” – not something we can see many fans of the gentle books being all that on board with.

And unsurprisingly, the trailer has sparked a pretty big conversation online. After a quick glance at the reactions, it seems safe to say that the general consensus is that the upcoming big-screen adaptation is an affront to Potter’s most beloved character.
