On May 13, the sequel to the 2018 global hit 'Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway' is released in theaters. We tell you who will enjoy this funny and charming comedy.

The film Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway has everything audiences loved about the original: cute animated rabbits, the bumbling Domhnall Gleeson, and wild, sometimes very strange humor. True to sequel tradition, there's just a lot more of it all.

Escape from Routine

The film's plot begins at the wedding of Bea (Rose Byrne) and Thomas (Domhnall Gleeson), while Peter Rabbit (voiced by James Corden in the original, and Anton Eldarov in the Russian dub) seems to have resigned himself to a quiet, peaceful family life. Everything changes when publisher Nigel Basil-Jones (David Oyelowo) appears on the McGregor doorstep, offering Bea a chance to write a sequel to her book about rabbits and suggesting she spice it up by making Peter the 'root of all evil.'

Then Peter, whom almost everyone sees as a troublemaker, tries to come to terms with this and actually live according to his nature. This decision leads him to meet Barnabas (voiced by Maxim Vitorgan in the Russian dub), an old friend of his father's. He even agrees to a grand and daring heist of the farmers' market.

An Unexpected Genre Mix

Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway surprisingly blends several genres that, on paper, shouldn't go together. For example, a sweet family film and a heist story. Seriously — at one point, albeit in a parodic form, the film becomes a prime example of the heist genre, complete with an introduction of the conspirators, the development of a 'brilliant' plan, and a multi-act execution.

Furthermore, Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway has a lot to say about self-acceptance (this applies not only to the rabbits but also to the human characters), family values, and love for one's relatives. And all this diversity of genres, forms, and ideas somehow comes together into a cohesive picture that turned out even slightly more streamlined than the original (which did have some excesses with a certain amorality and inappropriate humor).

A Lot. Of. Humor

Going into Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, be prepared to be made to laugh in a variety of ways: from parody sketches to cinephile references and breaking the fourth wall. There's plenty of both visual and verbal humor, so both adults and children are sure to laugh during the viewing.

In summary, Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway is a charming and somewhat old-fashioned film in the spirit of classic adventure movies, characterized by high energy, likable characters, and an abundance of humor for a wide range of audiences.
