* SoOkayItsAverage: It’s Creator/GoldenFilms, [[AnimationAgeGhetto so it’s hardly high art]], but it’s a pretty harmless and inoffensive kid’s movie with passable if unremarkable animation by Saturday Morning cartoon standards. It probably helps that Creator/BeatrixPotter’s stories were already aimed at children, so even with Golden Films nixing the darker and scarier elements from them, they lend themselves ''much better'' to a light-hearted movie than the likes of ''[[WesternAnimation/PocahontasGoldenFilms Pocahontas]]'' or ''[[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameGoldenFilms The Hunchback Of Notre Dame]]''.

* BrokenAesop: The movie couldn’t be less subtle about lying being bad. However, Peter’s actions don’t have any serious consequences; his sisters easily save themselves from being mailed to Zanzibar, he and Benny make lots of new friends during the journey to try and save the former, and while the villains do kidnap Peter’s friends and Benny out of retribution for being lied to by Peter themselves, Peter only tricked them to protect his friends, as Mr. Todd and the cat were trying to eat them (and would have done so under any circumstances) and Tommy Brock tried to make Benny his slave [[EvilIsPetty over petty reasons]], and Peter doesn’t even get punished by his mother for shirking his responsibilities and putting himself, his sisters and cousin in danger. Furthermore, Trevor T. Tittlemouse is guilty of the same thing Peter did ([[HonestJohnsDealership if not more so]]) but he’s never even called out for it. Ultimately, the message of the movie comes across more like being a CompulsiveLiar is a charming quirk and it will get you lots of new friends just as long as you fess up in the end, and any problems you caused with your lying will fix themselves.

* HilariousInHindsight: This movie introduces a white girl rabbit clad in pink named Fluff, 17 years before the debut of [[WesternAnimation/PeterRabbit Lily Bobtail]]. Mr. Tod’s more bumbling portrayal here also closely matches his portrayal in the 2012 series.

* DesignatedHero:
** Peter himself is a slacker and CompulsiveLiar who, besides feeling some regret for lying to his new friends, doesn’t learn much of a lesson, nor is even punished by his mother, even after he put himself, his sisters, and his cousin into danger due to the aforementioned slacking off and lying.
** Throughout the film, [[SkewedPriorities Benny seems more concerned with stuffing his face whenever he can than saving his cousins. Then there’s the bit where]] [[ImAHumanitarian he casually contemplates trying out baked rabbit]].
