I wouldn’t expose anyone under eight to this version, but honestly, the mash-up will likely find young fans who will not grow up to be serial killers.

It's not about that. It's about taking someone with an established identity and persona and treasured place in literature and completely botching it. Call it something else. Don't trade on the good well that Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit earned.

I agree ....you can be inspired to write this and it probably is good cartoon but the author is not here to give her permission to call it Peter rabbit...give it another name and be honest with where the inspiration for it came from...

There’s an entire genre of re-told fairy tales, most with a bloody cast. Nad all the old tales had their violent side. It will sink or swim dependent on the fanbase. That fanbase is NOT the toddler cohort that loves Peter Rabbit and, by the time they reach the age targeted by this version,they will not be damaged.

There’s something to be said for someone casting Farmer MacGregor as the victim. Shows some compassion. I know I curse rabbits in my garden. Little buggers kill ornamentals, too. You know, gangbangers plead they’re only helping to feed _their_ families.

There are always two sides to every story, even Peter Rabbit. It’s a story, like so many others, not sacred canon.

Honestly, I think there’s a lot of hyperventilating going around.
