In the new series, Peter Rabbit will remain the central character in a cast that will return to what Alli calls the “bolder palette” of Potter’s early drawings. The likes of Tom Kitten will retain their mischievous personalities but the storylines will be new and “appropriate” for the next generation.
“Peter Rabbit’s father being caught by the farmer and being baked into a pie is not going to be our first episode. We’ll be skipping over some chapters,” said Alli.
You can read all about the next big classical children’s series appropriation-I-mean-adaptation here. Then come back and enjoy this little palate cleanser.
Do you think every teacher (past and present) of upper elementary grades watches this palate cleanser and sits, recollects all her/his students in each category? I love it!
