Peter Rabbit™ hops onto the Virgin Media Store!

Peter Rabbit™ hops onto the Virgin Media Store!

The family movie is available to buy on the Virgin Media Store before anywhere else

To celebrate the early release, we’ve got a special giveaway for you…

Buy Peter Rabbit™ now on the Virgin Media Store and rent on Virgin Movies from 23 July. Cert PG

When it comes to family-friendly movies with a furry, loveable star, bears have a bit of a monopoly right now. Don’t get us wrong, Paddington 2 is one of the most delightful movies ever made, and we can’t wait for Christopher Robin to come out, but it’s time to give another animal a chance. It’s time for the year of the rabbit!


James Corden is the voice of Peter in this laugh-a-minute adaptation of Beatrix Potter’s classic books. And, true to form, Peter, his cousin Benjamin (Colin Moody) and his triplet sisters Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail (I, Tonya’s Margot Robbie, The Great Gatsby’s Elizabeth Debicki and Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s Daisy Ridley) are up to no good.
 


Despite being adapted from a British classic, there’s a fair bit of Aussie influence in this film. Not only does Margot Robbie narrate as Flopsy, but award-winning singer/songwriter Sia is the voice of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids) plays Bea – a human friend of the rabbits, who is based on Potter herself. She becomes a de facto mother to the orphaned bunnies, but their blissful lives are thrown a curveball with the arrival of Thomas McGregor (About Time’s Domhnall Gleeson), an uptight, controlling workaholic from London, who kicks the rabbits out of the country manor they’ve been exploring and goes to war with Peter and his friends.

 

Check out this exclusive clip!

  


James Corden might be a superstar chat show host in America now, but he’s equally at his best playing a thrifty rabbit scrumping for carrots and cabbages. His cheeky chappie demeanour is perfect for bringing Peter to life, sending adults on a nostalgic trip down memory lane and making children fall in love with the beloved character for the very first time.

 

So hop on the sofa, burrow into the cushions with a nice cup of tea and prepare fur some wholesome family fun.
