Peter Rabbit (Autism Friendly Screening)

Event details

Peter Rabbit, his cousin Benjamin and his triplet sisters Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail spend most of their days stealing vegetables from the garden of Mr. McGregor, a nearby farmer. After Mr. McGregor dies of a heart attack, his nephew Thomas arrives from London to take over the property in order to sell it for a profit. Thomas removes the animals from the house and begins to secretly wall up the garden, despite the objection of local woman Bea a friend to the rabbits who begins to fall in love with Thomas. Peter becomes jealous, and becomes embroiled in a war of traps with Thomas in this family comedy which mixes live-action and animation, adapted from the beloved children's books by author Beatrix Potter.
