I don't know what this is, but it sure as hell isn't Peter Rabbit.

Oh, the CBeebies version is all wrong, for sure. Our two are enjoying a Potter phase at the moment - books, TV, visits to various places in the Lakes - but there's no way they'll be watching this film.
With the books, we've found a few that have been simplified by Ladybird (taking out all the 'presentlies' and the padding of the originals) which work better for a quick story.
Anyway, Things That Are Wrong With "Peter Rabbit" on CBeebies:
• Agree on Mr Tod.
• Peter is supposed to be naughty and very nervous after his first time in Mr McGregor's garden, whereas on TV he's uber-brave. They've got him and Benjamin the wrong way around - it's Benjamin who takes Peter back into the garden the second time.
• Old Brown the owl shouldn't be out in the day, and he flies far too slowly.
• Tommy Brock the badger also shouldn't be out in the day.
• Cottontail is the eldest of Mrs Rabbit's three daughters in the books (she hooks up with Benjamin) but in the CBeebies version she is a baby.
• Benjamin's father is supposed to be a cat-sized brute of a buck rabbit, whereas on TV he's a nerdy inventor sort.
• The other squirrels are not supposed to like Nutkin because he's a twat who jeopardises their nut-gathering trips to Old Brown's island. To be fair, they have nailed Nutkin himself.
• The small birds are supposed to be able to talk as well. And it's especially weird that they don't, given that Old Brown does.
That'll do for starters, at least. Good to get these things off your chest.

I agree with Jah. Corden could well be the Jerry Lewis of our times, in so far as we have to take his supposed popularity entirely on trust, never actually coming across a single person in life who sees him as anything other than an aggressively needy humour vacuum.
Benjamin's a proper gangsta, alright. Strong hat too. Even so, as a child I'd probably have settled for him being called something, indeed anything, else.
