Miss Beatrix Potter (Renee Zellweger), an unmarried, 30-something woman, has a great talent for drawing and an incredible imagination for stories. She presents her story and drawings to a publisher, who finally will bring to life "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" and many books will follow, Jemima Puddle-Duck, and Benjamin Bunny among many.
Her personal life is also presented: Mr Norman Warne (Ewan McGregor), the man in charge of publishing her books, will become a more important part in Potter's life.
Her finances will change as well, with the success of her books, and will allow her to purchase Hill Top.

This movie brilliantly portrays the life and success of "bunny book" author Beatrix Potter (1866-1943). The casting director couldn't have picked a better choice for the role of Beatrix in Zellweger, and Lucy Boynton as the young Beatrix.
Ewan McGregor, as Norman, is certainly not bad either, however his mustache got on my nerves!

I grew up with Peter Rabbit and the other animals brought to life by Potter, so it was refreshing to see a movie that showed not just the drawings but the animations of the characters. All was well done.

Brilliant movie, beautifully done. This is a must see.
NOTE: Be prepared to cry. I sure did.
