Description: Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway (2021) tells the story of Peter Rabbit and his adventures after the wedding of Thomas and Bea, attended by both human and animal friends. Peter begins to accept this new chapter in his life. After the honeymoon, Thomas assists Bea in creating children’s storybooks based on Peter and his friends. However, Peter is disappointed to find himself portrayed as a mischievous character in the books. Bea then receives an offer from a publisher, Nigel Basil-Jones, to distribute her books.
When Thomas and Bea take Peter and his friends to meet Nigel, they learn about his marketing plan, which further emphasizes Peter’s negative image. A potential movie billboard even depicts Peter as a villain. Feeling disheartened, Peter wanders off and encounters Barnabas, an older rabbit who claims to have known Peter’s father. Unfortunately, they are captured by animal catchers and taken to a pet pound.
Bea agrees to sign over the rights to her books, believing they won’t be exploited for profit. However, it becomes clear that Nigel intends to commercialize the stories. Meanwhile, Peter and Barnabas are rescued by Barnabas’s crew, and they escape into town. Thomas and Bea eventually find Peter and bring him home, while Barnabas returns to his hideout.
