Ironically enough, Domnhall Gleeson's (who plays Thomas) father (the incredible Brendan Gleeson) was in one of these Smurfs movies. I'm referring to, of course, the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies (THERE'S FUCKING FOUR OF THESE IN EXISTENCE) and the Smurfs with Neil Patrick Harris.

I find, now that I think about it, what worried me most about this movie is that it would follow the same route similar CG/live-action films have taken. I do think the more modern comedic style, while turning off purists, added to that because I've always been a fan of British comedy and while this isn't exactly Monty Python, I still enjoyed the comedy regardless. It's certainly very bright and colorful, but, much to my surprise, I found this to be quite an entertaining little movie. Part of me was expecting it to be one of those bright, colorful but relatively joyless family movies. I saw it on Netflix last week and I thought to myself that I'd probably watch it someday, but I wouldn't be bothered if I never did come to watch it. Honestly, I wasn't exactly expecting all that much. Having said that, however, I found myself pleasantly surprised by this movie. As long as a film adaptation of a book I love (or a remake) is good, then that's all that matters to me.

I'm not gonna hold that against these people, of course, as they're entitled to their opinion as long as it is well-reasoned and not just the 'it's ruining my childhood nonsense'. Seriously though, Peter Rabbit is a beloved children's book and the people that grew up on that might hate this movie because of its stylistic changes. Though, to be fair, the original Peter Rabbit book was released over 113 years ago, so I'm certain that most of those people aren't around anymore. It doesn't apply because, in my opinion, most studios want something more modern that they can market to kids, since this opens a lot of merchandising options not available to them if they tried to appeal to just fans of, say, the original Peter Rabbit book. This approach, however, probably doesn't apply to most properties based on children's books. There was nothing ambitious about the movie or, really, that differed that much from what most of us know/remember of the Peanuts franchise and, you know what, it was a movie that I enjoyed tremendously. I don't know how I feel, because there's something very sweetly nostalgic about a movie like, say, The Peanuts Movie in that that movie, essentially, feels like the Peanuts strip (or cartoons) as seen through 2015 eyes (the year the movie was released). Reason I bring this up in reference to this movie is that, I'm certain, at least as far as the humor is concerned and the narrative, that this movie is nothing like the children's book it is based on.

It doesn't have to be anything major, but just add something that makes it uniquely yours and not just a mindless adaptation of the book. I think the best way to approach things is to take the basic concept of the book, and a lot of the major story beats, and just adding your own touch to it. It's the same thing with remakes, change too much you get derided, adhere strictly to what came before, you get made fun of. But, by the same token, if you change too little for your adaptation then you're also criticized for, really, not adapting anything, you just took the book and, essentially, filmed it with no heart and soul. On the one hand, if you change too much for your adaptation, these fans will be all over you for it. Film adaptations of classic books or, rather, books that have a passionate fanbase are a tricky thing to pull off.
