When I watched the intro as a young child I had wanted to believe that that's how I am going to be when im grown up, a painter in my country home surrounded by my pets and farm animals.
Exactly! I feel bad for the kids nowdays because their cartoons really suck.I mean the characters are ridicously ugly,with one eye bigger than the other,three strands in their head as hair and fall down from the 10th floor,hurt themselves for like 2 seconds and then all good. Old cartoons like Peter Rabbit were pure art,not that 3D shit thats on tv.
This unlocked my ancient childhood memories. It’s crazy how much time has passed… I remember watching this as a little girl and feeling nothing but peace and love.
me too! and i kept confusing it with real water colour classes i took growing up, never really sure which was which... recently i've been re-reading the books and it suddenly clicked
I swear life was better back then. Everyone had their place in life. I mean sure we've technology, cures for many diseases and get to live past the age of 30 but life seemed so much more simple and peaceful in the 1800's.
Depending on what region of the world you lived in, yes it is was simpler and more humbling. The problem with modern times is that we as humans made things more complicated and controlling. Back then, yes there were diseases, wars and such, but there were areas that were simple and everyone knew their lifelong goals. I would of loved to live in a town like this. A lot less to worry about and can feel at peace.
Few people realize today just how much of a trailblazer Beatrix Potter was at the time because she both wrote and illustrated her books. I mean she was one of the few writers who really had a very specific vision for how all her characters looked, I mean nowadays we take for granted that there are writers who are also illustrators but at that time it was a real novelty to have a writer who could also illustrate the book.
I don’t even know how to explain the way this made me erupt into tears to see again…it reminds me of the most peaceful moments of my extremely chaotic childhood. This show possess a special place in my heart.
Hiraeth: a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past. That is the feeling this programme, and in particular this opening sequence, produces in me.
Hiraeth to me is what it feels like to feel like a certain period of time in your past was home. My early childhood years feel like Hiraeth, a home which is not physical.
@@benWTL There is natural beauty like this in the most unlikely places. Places most people probably wouldn't consider living and they don't always cost half a million dollars. Beatrix as seen here, is not living some country mansion, but a tiny little cottage in a place that at time was considered the rural boonies. Places like this still exist in America and the UK but you gottta be willing to make do with less.
I am crying so much. This is my childhood…everything was so easy back then. I just found this video by typing some words that I remembered and I am so happy that it wasn’t just a dream
I’m crying so much too literally sobbing… idk why but this is so surreal to find this again. I watched this when I was a little girl. It just brings back so much memories and feelings 🥲😢 …
Oh gosh, this brought tears to my eyes, such lovely, nostalgic memories of childhood. I adored these stories as a child, still do. I think I need a re-watch.
this is such a deep recovered memory, i was sitting in class today and someone was humming the song in this and it all came back like a flood, its still just as magical as i remember
My sentiments exactly. I feel that I would give almost anything to have lived in that era. Except of course I would then have had to witness it ending...
Exactly, and as peaceful as it looks, a lot of people crave the white nationalist society that once was before globalization so I only really like how it is portrayed in books and movies whilst I know there was a lot of white supremacy back in the day
johootly I don't know about that. It may have been true in America, but in Britain and Europe, at least, there were basically no non-Whites (except in a few large cities), so racism/ethnic tension wasn't a problem. The few foreigners who lived there or travelled the country were treated with courtesy and respect, something remarked upon by black visitors from America at the time.
I agree. Everyone had their place in life back then and because of that they were born with a purpose and lived a happier peaceful life....I just think us humans have made life so complicated.
Up until you cough your lungs out from TB, or your guts turn to water from the cholera, or any of a dozen other diseases that have since been more or less stamped out of most countries by modern medicine.
I didn't want this to end. I'll be back here tomorrow. This was one of the highlights of my children's childhood; I loved it more than they did I think.
I'm just here to wash out the awful taste of that new Peter Rabbit movie trailer. They completely missed the point. This though perfectly captures Beatrix Potter's stories.
Yes it’s very sad. How much classic literature gets skewed or needs to be “updated “ or hip to appeal to today’s market/ audience. Really disgusted me lol.
I haven't seen this in years (maybe even over a decade). My parents still have the VHS tapes for the World of Peter Rabbit. I don't think I have all the episodes, but I do remember watching them regularly.
Benjamin Steel: I don't know if you'll ever see this but I'm downloading it right now - all I needed was the name, which I got from stumbling on this RU-vid video. :) Get in touch if you're curious/want further details, my username @gmail.
I taught preschool for years, 2 and 3 year olds. I played this music,and the videos and DVDs of this series for my classes and all of my students- over 150 over the years- grew love love this series! many spoke of it so often to their parents, they parent would ask me where they could get copies!
I've been to her house :). It's very nice, kept in the way she wanted it when she gave it to the National Trust, many years ago. As a rule, you're not allowed to take photos there. But it's better when you see it in person, anyway.
Not seen this in 25+ years. It literally has took me back to my childhood & i still remember every bit of this intro. Such a classic. My 3 year old loves Peter Rabbit just as much as i did (:
This intro was my favorite part of this movie! I used to watch it over and over. I haven't seen this in probably 20 years and it is just as cozy and warm feeling as it was then. Thank you so much for posting this ❤️
Oh my oldest memories... I felt so at home with this introduction... like the world was such a beautiful place, all within grasp; you just need to look!! I cannot exactly translate what the child in me thought of this... but I remembered... like I was with her in this moment.
When I was little, this was always my favorite part of the movies. I wanted to be a mix of her and mom when I was grown. Still working on the english cottage & pet rabbit part. ;)
Finally found it. I've had this vague memory of a lady painting in my head for ages and i've been searching the most bizarre things trying to find it. This feels good :)
I have always painted ever since I was a little girl. And Beatrix Potter’s work and stories were a big part of my childhood. And I just realized I hold my paintbrush just like her haha. With the little pinky out.
Can't even describe how much I cherished this show as child. Only ever had a copy of Mr. Jeremy Fisher & Ms. Tiggleywinkle, but it was something that I rewatched constantly and absolutely adored. I never felt talked down to when watching this show, it made me feel like an equal, like Ms. Potter was reading to me as a friend rather than child. And that went a long way
I was three when I first watched this! I remember this so vividly, so calming and innocent...my children will watch this and all other 90s children’s shows, we truly are the last generation to have had a wonderful childhood
We where all born and the 1st thing we where blessed to see was these episodes (ignore the time it was posted God let us see it before it was released)

The most beautifully done adaption of Children's books I have seen, I still love it at 19, and I'm normally into shows like EastEnders, Celebrity Juice, I'm A Celebrity, Broadchurch etc. I am so relieved that this is part of my childhood. If I had kids, I'd want them to grow up with today's kid's telly so they are current. But it's sad as well because this is so much better. So I'd wanna give them a bit of my era too, this definitely included.
It's my tradition that I watch all of the videos when I go to my grandparent's house every year. I used to love them. I still do. The artwork and stories are amazing and unique.
Holy crap. The music made me smile so much, everything about it is so nostalgic. I remember I used to come home from kindergarten and watch this all the time, which was about 15 years ago. Kids shows were so much better.
This breaks my heart and fills my heart with so much joy at the same time. It makes me so nostalgic of my childhood like everyone else. I remember sitting at home at 5 in the afternoon as a 4 year old watching this. I think even then I was in awe of it. I don't know what happened, time just ran away from me, and I wish I was back there, but now I am here... grown up and crying at how overwhelmingly beautiful this video is.
The music takes me back to when I would visit my grandparents. They had this on video and me and my brother would watch them. I may not have been alive when these were made, but I'm glad I couk experience them when I was younger :)
I can't believe it has been so long since I watched this, must be at least 12 years. I'm not embarrassed to say this has bought many a tear to my eyes! This and Farthing Wood are exactly what I loved about my childhood TV.
When I was little and I used to watch these videos I remember being so hypnotized and in love with the scenery and the music. As I got older nothing really changed I still am in love with this kind of music and scenery. It's beautiful I love it.
Been a long time, but I think I had these on VHS many many years ago. So long ago that I barely remember a thing, but I think this is it. So glad to see it here! And is a refreshing sight after seeing the godawful Peter Rabbit movie trailers (made by....SONY of course).
