Continuity mistake: When Mr McGregor collapses, his hand goes from open to closed, depending on the angle. His position in relation to the carrots keeps changing too. (00:11:40)

Revealing mistake: When Tom is fired from Harrods, he is escorted out of the building. Look closely in the glass to the sides of the doors, mainly the screen right, to see a group of people just stood watching the film crew. There is a slight hint of a barrier visible around waist height but to spot the barrier you have to look extremely closely. (00:17:00)

Other mistake: When Tom is being hit with the fruit, he is being hit high enough for Bee to see the fruit but doesn't react to random fruit hitting Tom. (01:00:15)

Ssiscool

Factual error: The rabbits are underneath the landrover, and they get shot out the back whilst holding on to the axle. Land rovers have an enclosed axle with a hub enclosing the diff, so this would not be possible.

Other mistake: When Tom is choking Peter, for a moment, Peter disappears.

Factual error: Thomas McGregor asks at the station in London for a 'round trip' ticket to Windermere. It's called a 'return' in Britain and no British person would ask for anything else.

Necrothesp

Other mistake: When we see the 4x4 driving to the hardware store the truck isn't reflected in the shop windows even though it should be.

Ssiscool

Other mistake: On the way to the river the rabbits can pull the tail gate up from inside the back of the 4x4 and it closes and stays shut. However in the shop, Tom is shown that a clip on the outside of the 4x4 has to be bolted to keep it shut.

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When Mr McGregor has died, all the animals run into his garden and Ms. Tiggywiggle is at the very back. When we see the gate being broken down a second later she is at the front.

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When Peter and Benjamin fall through the trousers, Tom is nowhere to be seen. As they land on the floor Tom is behind the trousers.

Ssiscool

Other mistake: When Tom hits the metal light and gets electrocuted, the light comes on. There's no reason for the light to come on.

Suggested correction: It is possible that light reacts to sound or movement.

Continuity mistake: Benjamin gets trapped with his jacket being pierced and pinned to the gate. However when he puts the jacket back on there are no holes.

Ssiscool

Other mistake: The postman delivers a Royal Mail Tracked 24 hour envelope to Tom and asks for a signature. However the label on the letter states no signature.

Ssiscool

Rooster: The sun came up again? I can't believe it! I thought when I closed my eyes last night, that that was it! But we have another day of this.

More quotes from Peter Rabbit

Question: How is it that Thomas can understand what the rabbits are saying as shown in the make-up scene and no other human can?

Cody Fairless-Lee

Answer: It's not clear if he actually can hear them or not. It's implied in the film that it's possibly stress or a mental break that is causing him to hallucinate their voices, or is suddenly thinking on a brain wave length that can understand them. If it's the former, it's coincidence that he hears similar to what Peter is actually saying. Either case explains why he suddenly can hear them when nobody else can around them despite them talking in front of people.

Quantom X

Answer: The humans can actually understand the rabbits. Because notice during the scene when Peter is about to put the carrot in the Old Mr. McGregor's pants, the rabbits are talking quietly, most likely so Mr. McGregor doesn't hear them. And then there aren't any other scenes where they talk at a normal volume, or talk at all around humans, except for at the end when Peter is apologizing to the young Mr. McGregor.
