Plot [edit]
The motion picture opens with the wedding of Thomas (Domhnall Gleeson) and Bea (Rose Byrne), with all their friends, human being and animal, in attendance. Peter Rabbit (James Corden) tells Benjamin Bunny (Colin Moody) that he is totally fine with Thomas marrying Bea, until the priest mentions Thomas becoming like a father to the animals. Peter appears to become berserk and attacks Thomas, leading the other animals to attack the humans until Peter makes Thomas bladder away on balloons. This is, of course, in Peter's head, and he even so accepts this new function of his life.
After their honeymoon, Thomas helps Bea every bit she works on her children'southward storybooks based on Peter and his friends. Peter is a bit dismayed to know that the books accept portrayed him equally "naughty". Outside, he talks to Johnny Town-Mouse who talks about his life as a married mouse with kids, and Peter doesn't want to think about Thomas and Bea starting their own family without him. Bea then gets a letter in the mail service from a publisher who wants to distribute her books.
Thomas and Bea take Peter, Benjamin, Flopsy (Margot Robbie), Mopsy (Elizabeth Debicki), and Cottontail (Aimee Horne) to meet the publisher, Nigel Basil-Jones (David Oyelowo). The other rabbits, barring a suspicious Cottontail, seem to like Nigel, until he presents his marketing plan toward the rabbits, which paints Peter every bit a troublemaker. They even see a billboard for a potential Peter Rabbit movie, which makes him look outright villainous. Flopsy and Mopsy, meanwhile, don't like that people tin can't seem to tell them apart or always acquaintance one with the other.
A dismayed Peter walks away from the group and goes into town, where he meets an older rabbit named Barnabas (Lennie James). Later getting into some more mischief, Barnabas recognizes Peter every bit the son of his old friend when they would swipe nutrient from the McGregor farm. He is impressed with Peter's movements and skills, but they are unfortunately caught by animal catchers and taken to a pet pound.
Bea starts to sign over the rights to her books to Nigel, although despite her request that the books not exist turned into a gaudy hip cash take hold of holding (with Benjamin looking right at the camera for this), information technology becomes apparent that this is Nigel's plan anyhow, as he is known for turning simple concepts into something "cool" for a more commercial audience.
Peter and Barnabas are taken in by a piddling girl named Amelia. Later an afternoon spent existence washed and roughly played with, the family steps out of the business firm, leaving Peter and Barnabas in a cage. Barnabas manages to free himself and Peter, so they go to raid the family's fridge with the helps of Barnabas'southward crew – the mouse Samuel Whiskers (Rupert Degas), creepy true cat Tom Kitten (Damon Herriman), and his sister Mittens (Hayley Atwell). As they effort to sneak the food out, Amelia's mother comes home with the intention of getting rid of the rabbits before her kids come domicile. The animals manage to run from her as she chases them into boondocks, and they become away with their food into their hideout.
Barnabas later takes Peter through the town as he talks almost how his father used to steal for Peter and his sisters to go along their bellies full. Thomas and Bea and so discover Peter and bring him home while Barnabas returns to his hideout.
The next forenoon, Thomas and Bea take the rabbits outside to play by a field. Thomas tries rolling downwards the hill like the other rabbits, just to gyre too fast and injure himself. Peter tells Benjamin about Barnabas and convinces him and his sisters to join him in meeting the coiffure. Barnabas recognizes Peter'due south sisters and divulges to all of them his large plan – he and his crew desire to rob from the farmers market place, with their large score beingness packs of stale fruit.
Thomas and Bea run across with Nigel again to go over designs for the rabbits. Subsequently already having them dressed up in contemporary clothes (one that says "hype beast"), Nigel makes another proposition that they be on a beach, despite Thomas disagreeing with the thought. He starts to realize that Nigel'due south idea are not in the all-time interests of Bea'due south piece of work. He even afterward goes to confront Nigel himself in a boxing gym to express how he feels, with Nigel interpreting it every bit him speaking for Bea. She finds out and is unhappy with Thomas.
The rabbits gather assist from their animal friends – Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle (Sia), Jeremy Fisher (also Domhnall Gleeson), Pigling Banal (Ewen Leslie), Felix D'eer (Christian Gazal), and Tommy Brock (Sam Neill) – to pull off their heist. The animals create distractions, fifty-fifty getting the a girl named Sara (Chika Yasumara) – whose family creates the dried fruit – distracted when the male child she has a beat on (whose family sells cheese wheels) is knocked over. The rabbits prepare the bins of dried fruit, but in the chaos, a cheese wheel rolls by and knocks over Thomas and his tomatoes that he was going to sell. Later on getting the dried fruits into their getaway truck, all the animals, including Benjamin and the sisters, are captured by the pet pound people. To Peter's dismay, Barnabas reveals he was all forth using him and his friends to proceed the dried fruit for themselves. He even explains that he intentionally "bumped into" Peter in town afterwards reading about him in his book, having spent a lot of time feeling angry that nobody wanted him considering he was too erstwhile. Everyone is left to blame Peter for getting them into this mess, while he himself feels utterly terrible.
Peter leaves Barnabas and his gang and goes to observe Thomas, enlisting his assistance in recovering his friends. Later hitting a snag with their truck, they become to Bea for help while she is in a coming together with Nigel and others from the publishing company. They desire to put Peter and his friends in a ludicrous space run a risk, which pushes Bea to realize that this is nothing like what she had in mind, and she pulls her stories from Nigel'south company. Afterwards talking it out with Thomas, she agrees to help him and Peter recover all their friends. They go on over-the-elevation missions to find them, like swiping Benjamin off a boat, Jeremy Fisher from a school classroom, and skydiving to become the sisters.
Peter, Benjamin, and the sisters then make one concluding cease at Barnabas's hideout. They take the dried fruit away from them, merely for the crew to appear and capture Peter'southward family. They so turn the tables on them by having prepared for this, with the rabbits stringing up Barnabas and his crew by nooses and then that they get pulled away into the nifty beyond when the nearby tailor shop owner leaves in his truck. The rabbits then return all the stale fruit to Sara and her family.
The rabbits rejoin Thomas and Bea every bit they drive home, with Peter deciding to exist more willing to mind to the ones that beloved him.

Disquisitional response [edit]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the moving-picture show holds an approval rating of 67% based on 76 reviews with an boilerplate rating of 6/10. The website'south critics consensus reads: "An enjoyably featherbrained and self-aware sequel, Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway should get out fans of the original feeling fairly hoppy."[28] On Metacritic it has a weighted average score of 43 out of 100 based on xiii critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[29] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the motion-picture show an boilerplate grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported 74% of audience members gave it a positive score, with 45% maxim they would definitely recommend information technology.[22]

Ian Freer of Empire rated the film iii out of 5 stars, writing "It feels a little thin and generic compared to family fare like The Mitchells Vs The Machines, but the Byrne-Gleeson combo is winning and Gluck injects just enough slapstick and smarts to justify the last-gasp gag well-nigh a sequel. It's no Paddington ii, but Peter Rabbit 2 works well thanks to a mocking sense of self and a potent second half."

It can sometimes exist cute or zany and briefly send itself up, but there is fundamentally something pretty directly in its DNA. And then the film rattles inoffensively on, every line and every image seeming as if it has been test marketed in ways advocated past the wicked Nigel Basil-Jones."[33] Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com also gave the film ii out of 5 stars, who said "Past indulging in the exact same instincts information technology insists are problematic artistically, "Peter Rabbit two" wants to have its carrot and eat information technology, besides.

In that regard, the sequel hops forth in sufficiently bouncy mode."[34]
