When Old Mr. McGregor passes away, the mischievous Peter Rabbit and his family take over the farmer’s property, throwing an endless party of fruits, vegetables, and bad behavior. When a younger, spryer and more fastidious McGregor arrives to claim his inheritance, Peter is determined to keep the party going. But Peter soon realizes the young McGregor is not only a formidable foe, but is also falling for the local painter (and the rabbits’ surrogate mother), Bea. Now, Peter will stop at nothing to drive McGregor away as the two wage war over both the garden and Bea’s affection. In the end, Peter must come to realize that carrots and glory are never as gratifying as love and family.
