It is clear to me that Beatrix Potter\u2019s \u201cThe Tale Of Peter Rabbit\u201d is catered for children. As we talked about in class, the text is easy to follow and the pictures are pleasant on the eye. Because of this, I found it interesting that the movie we saw this morning was catered to an adult audience. While we only saw a few minutes, it was extremely apparent that \u201cMiss Potter\u201d was not created to appeal to children. Considering the subject matter of \u201cThe Tale Of Peter Rabbit\u201d and its continued appeal to modern day children, I believe the slow and mature angle the director took was a mistake. There were moments in the first few minutes where the film appealed to the childish nature of Potter\u2019s book, like when a young Beatrix imagined her parent\u2019s carriage in an animated light but this was a fleeting moment in the movie. I will have to finish the entire movie to comment fully but I have to believe the film would have been more successful if scenes like this one were included which would have appealed to a younger crowd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
