Peter Rabbit 2 was one of the first films to open in cinemas following the extended pandemic closure, and it proves to be a very safe bet, as it is simply more of the same formula delivered by the first film, with returning director Gluck and human leads Gleeson and Byrne together with voice lead Corden all returning to familiar territory. It is gently entertaining, with David Oyelowo providing a suitably pantomimic antagonist as a money-grabbing franchise-building publisher which makes for some mild comment on artistic exploitation, but overall it is all about the cute CGI creatures - again, very well realised and integrated - as they venture into the big city on various Dickensian-style adventures, and on that score the film delivers well for its young target audience.
