PETER RABBIT

Normally The Travelling Toe by-passes animated movies, but having seen the previews for "Peter Rabbit" it looked interesting and funny. The movie combined animated creatures interacting with real people. Additionally, the animals were based of those beloved characters created by Beatrix Potter.

1866-1943

The internet provides this overview of the movie:

Peter Rabbit and his three sisters -- Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-Tail -- enjoy spending their days in Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden. When one of McGregor's relatives suddenly moves in, he's less than thrilled to discover a family of rabbits in his new home. A battle of wills soon breaks out as the new owner hatches scheme after scheme to get rid of Peter -- a resourceful rabbit who proves to be a worthy and wily opponent.

The movie was indeed funny as the animals tried to get the best of the new Mr. McGregor.  Additionally, the excellent animation of the rabbits and other animals made them appear to be real!
