A Mom’s Review: Peter Rabbit

Looking for a great family movie? I’m sharing my review of the Peter Rabbit movie!

Thank you to Sony Pictures for hosting us at the premiere AND for the generous gift they gave my students.

Peter Rabbit Movie Review: This family film is perfect for kids and parents alike! Read the full mom's review HERE!

Let’s talk about the Peter Rabbit movie.  If you follow me on social media, then you know I’ve seen this movie THREE times already (I’d say that leaves me pretty equipped to write a Peter Rabbit review).  The more I shared, the more I heard the SAME comment from you guys.  “I hope it does the book justice.”  And I’m happy to say, this adorable homage to Peter Rabbit and Beatrix Potter does a great job of respecting the original Peter Rabbit, while appealing to a new generation of Peter Rabbit fans.

Our first time seeing the movie? Lydia and I attended the Peter Rabbit premiere.  We had a blast seeing the film along with it’s creators, and I loved seeing Lydia’s reaction to the story.  But my favorite viewing? The special viewings that Sony Pictures set up for my school.  They gave over 700 students living below the poverty line the chance to see the movie BEFORE it hit theaters, they sent books in advance so the kids could read the story AND they sent a real Peter Rabbit (in costume) to greet the kids.  Talk about creating an amazing way to interact with classic literature, as a teacher? I’ve never seen them so excited!

A ton of you asked about what it was like to attend the premiere…..so Lydia and I decided to document our experience (note her success on the ring toss, I was pretty impressed!):

A Mom’s Review: The Peter Rabbit Movie

The Plot: Peter Rabbit  is the latest story surrounding the cheeky hero we all loved as kids. In the film, Peter’s feud with the original Mr. McGregor escalates to greater heights when more McGregor family is involved.  James Corden plays the character of Peter and is accompanied by Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley performing the voice roles of the triplets, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail.  The Peter Rabbit movie follows the battle over that garden we all love from the original Peter Rabbit book and even integrates cameos from some of our other favorite Beatrix Potter characters.

Who Will Love This Movie: After watching this movie with my own four year old, and then children from ages five to ten PLUS adults…..I can honestly say that it’s a GREAT family film.  There’s silly slapstick comedy and character recognition for the younger kids, great music for the older kids, and some great subtle humor the adults will appreciate (thank GOODNESS, right?).  It’s a great way to introduce Beatrix Potter’s characters and legacy to younger kids, and a fun way to remind those older kids how fun the franchise is.  And us adults? Will appreciate that updated version of our childhood favorite.

📣What conversations with your kids are you gear 📣What conversations with your kids are you gearing up to have? 📣⠀
📣Let’s be honest......there are conversation topics that as parents we all know we need to bring up. From body changes to the birds and the bees to underage drinking.....as our kids get older, we’ve got a lot to tackle. And I get it, unless you happen to be a 15 years in the classroom teacher like me....this probably isn’t something you have experience with (plus, trust me....it’s a whole other ball game with your OWN kids). ⠀
⠀
📣I’m excited to team up with my friends at Responsibility.org to talk to YOU about having those talks with your family. This month is Alcohol Responsibility Month, and it’s the PERFECT time to start an ongoing dialog around underage drinking.⠀
⠀
📣 A few tips for having those ongoing conversations with your kids:⠀
⠀
📢Be human. It’s ok to not know all the answers. Your job? To lead with love and openness, and to use resources and experts to find the answers.⠀
⠀
📢Know that these are ongoing conversations. Hard topics aren’t a one and done type of dialog. As your children grow up, and have new experiences, you’ll have more conversations.⠀
⠀
📢Facts and Data are more effective than scare tactics. For discussions about Underage Drinking, I love Ask, Listen, Learn as a resource for parents and teachers. It addresses brain development, and has some REALLY cool videos and interactive tools for kids in grades 4-7.⠀
⠀
📣I’m sharing more tips and resources over on the blog today.

🌴These happy faces? Are because we spent the day lounging by the pool instead of hiding from loud machines.  If you follow along on our stories, you know that we came home from a trip to Bass Lake and Yosemite LAST week to…..WATER EVERYWHERE.  It’s all still being sorted out, but…..in the meantime there are some very big and loud machines starting the process of removing the water from our floors / cabinets and downstairs area. ⠀
⠀
🌴So when we had the chance to do a little staycation at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach after our Touch of Disney day…….CLEARLY it was a YES.  This was my first time to this property, and it won’t be the last.  Three pools, super close to a ton of fun activities (18 miles from Disneyland, and an 8 minute drive from the Lido Marina Village), plus they’ve got a GREAT dinner option and a coffee shop in the morning.  This was JUST what we needed,  now I’m just busy plotting ways to stay longer.⠀
⠀
🌴Have you done an emergency home renovation? Did you stay? Because, I’m about to vote for us just taking up residence at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach until all work is done.  You support this choice, right? ⠀

🌲I’m a check my email a million times type of person. I can admit it. I get worried when I think my cell phone doesn’t have enough power. And today? We spent the majority of the time hiking all over Yosemite National Park with zero wifi.⠀

🏔Peace. Fun. The Majesty of the Mountains. I feel recharged, and can’t remember the last time I didn’t worry if my phone was.⠀
