The future is precarious for Peter Rabbit, as he realizes that happy families lead to babies — which means he could get thrown out on his fluffy little tail if his reputation as a furry troublemaker keeps up.
In the latest trailer for “Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway” released Wednesday, our bunny hero gets tired of being scolded for stealing tomatoes or causing mayhem in the garden and decides to take matters into his own paws by hitting the road.
So he takes his motley crew of animals to Shangri-La (a.k.a. the farmers market). “We’re going to rob this place, are you in or are you out?” he asks them. Of course, not all goes according to plan and when a few of the critter criminals end up behind bars, it is Peter’s job to rescue them.

An attempt to modernise Beatrix Potter falls flat
Dir: Will Gluck. Us. 2018. 94mins
Stuffed with slapstick and fuelled by an energetic soundtrack, the Ggi/live action feature Peter Rabbit is sure to appeal to the youngsters at which is it aimed. Yet, in attempting to inject the classic Beatrix Potter tale about a mischievous bunny with a modern anarchic sensibility, it lacks the innocent charm that made the original books so timelessly appealing.
Screenwriters Rob Lieber and Will Gluck (who also directs) have clearly aimed to do what Paul King did for Paddington, but have fallen somewhat short
The film releases in the Us on February 9 through Sony, where American audiences may not be as familiar with these characters, although a cast headed by Rose Byrne, Domhnall Gleeson and voice actors James Corden, Margot Robbie and Daisy Ridley may help.
