Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway

Slapstick violence throughout; some scenes are quite aggressive. Peter punches and kicks Mr. McGregor repeatedly in the face. A group of animals trip up a number of farmers, knocking them over and hitting them pretty hard. The animals also attack someone in their own home; homeowner hits their head on a doorframe while running away. While in a boxing ring, a character hits someone hard in the face. In one unsettling sequence, a pig is hung by a rope; it's revealed to be just a prank. Animals are caged by humans in a pet store, sold against their will. Humans try to hit and capture rabbits. A hedgehog bites a wire, briefly getting electrocuted.

Couple discuss having a child. Character develops romantic feelings for their colleague. A hedgehog jokes about having sex appeal.

Characters insult each other, but without using strong language. A character refers to another as a "sissy." Some crude humor in the form of burping.

During a break-in, some animals take a bottle of champagne from the fridge and spray it all over someone. After a rabbit eats sweets, it is implied that they are high and hallucinating, mimicking experience of drug use. The rabbit even suffers withdrawal symptoms when going without.

Parents need to know that Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway is the action-packed sequel to Peter Rabbit. It's loosely based on Beatrix Potter's books and has lots of comic violence. Although Peter (voiced by James Corden) has learned from the mistakes of the first movie -- he now protects Mr. McGregor's (Domhnall Gleeson) tomato garden, stopping others from stealing the produce -- he falls in with a group of criminal animals. This leads to various violent altercations, including punching and kicking people in the face, although there's no sense of any lasting injuries. Animals are seen caged in a pet store; in another scene, humans try to capture and hurt the rabbits. There's an unsettling moment when a pig is hung by the waist with a rope, though it ends up being a prank on Peter. The language is mild, but a character is called a "sissy." Bea (Rose Byrne) almost decides to sell her stories about Peter after she's offered a lot of money -- and even a movie adaptation. But she decides, after much temptation, not to give up her morals for materialistic goods. One of the rabbits is seen eating sweets and subsequently has a drug-like experience (when she goes without, she even suffers withdrawal symptoms). Although many of the characters stray from what's right, they eventually realize the error of their ways.
