* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Despite the movie clocking in at under 50 minutes, Peter and Benny get joined by no less than five travel companions, none of which gets much characterization and half of them don’t even get any real motivation for coming along. We also get three separate antagonists who then randomly team up at the very end. And lastly, while Peter already had three sisters in the original books (Mopsy, Flopsy, and Cottontail) who all appear here, the movie adds a ''fourth one'' (Hopsy).

* AmbiguousSituation: Given the movie’s short runtime and having LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, many of Peter’s travel companions [[FlatCharacter are underdeveloped as characters]] and aren’t given a very clear reason for joining him. This is most notable with Trevor T. Tittlemouse, the first of the travel buddies to be introduced, who talks and acts like a ConMan and keeps telling BlatantLies, as if he’s trying to bamboozle Peter and Benny, but he does nothing of the sort throughout the movie and just joins up with them despite gaining nothing from it.

* ConMan: Trevor T. Tittlemouse is an odd example, [[HonestJohnsDealership as he talks and acts like one]], [[KnowNothingKnowItAll pretends to know more than he does]] or just says BlatantLies, including a RunningGag where he keeps changing his alleged profession. [[PiratesWhoDontDoAnything But he never actually tries to con anyone]] and ultimately just ends up being the MotorMouth of the group.

''The New Adventures of Peter Rabbit'' (or just ''Peter Rabbit'', or alternatively ''Reggie Rabbit'') is a 1995 AnimatedAdaptation of ''Literature/TheTaleOfPeterRabbit'' by Creator/BeatrixPotter, made by Creator/GoldenFilms. The titular rabbit (voiced by Creator/CamClarke) is a CompulsiveLiar, who seemingly gets his four sisters accidentally mailed to Zanzibar, so he and his [[FatComicRelief cousin Benny]] (Creator/JeffBennett) embark on a quest to save Peter’s sisters, picking up a lot of companions along the way, and running into a few antagonists (likewise from Potter’s books).

Like most of Creator/GoldenFilms outputs, it’s a [[PragmaticAdaptation fairly loose adaptation]] and decidedly more [[LighterAndSofter lighthearted]] and [[DenserAndWackier comedic]] than its source material, and has [[LimitedAnimation less-than-stellar animation]].
