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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
@@bean9315 The quality of modern-day CGI in children's cartoons is just another symptom of the low-effort, maximum financial benefit philosophy. There's no real attempt to create something of quality. That's secondary to the financial formula.
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 (:
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 TH-cam video. :) Get in touch if you're curious/want further details, my username @gmail.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 ❤️
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 had this on VHS tape. Is this The World Of Beatrix Potter with I think three stories? I see that there is another DVD series, but this one I really liked.
Seeing this after probably 10 years and remembering all the words and actions after theyre spoken and done :) Made me want to cry, seeing this I just want to go and buy some bloomers and woollen socks and boots and a long-sleeved white dress and felt jacket and hat and go painting and running around in the British countryside with a big dog for company
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. ;)
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.
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).
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)
Hello, I remember watching this series at grandparents house and loved it, but honestly made me sad which I don’t know why. But I remember reading her books when I was way little.
@@karenstrong6734 hi!! We apparently like the same things! Hah nice to see you here again.. and that’s touching, yes I think her stories and style are both cute but dark and sad, it’s about the mystery of childhood too. Potters life had a lot of lonely/ sadness in it as well as the joy of the animals, stories, art etc.
This opening scene could not be more perfect. I absolutely love it. The emotions and nostalgia felt are overwhelming. ahhhh Peter...
i feel the same way : )
Same, i wanna cry everytime i see this. Happy tears.

Total bliss watching this, and listening to the captivating music...
28 years of age, and this suddenly popped into my memory. Not ashamed to say I cried, I haven't seen this intro for at least 20+ years.

What’s wrong with you
Bro this makes me weep, I’m with you
I’m laying in bed right now at that age too and the theme song for this popped in my head too .
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.
Me too! Before the concepts of cottage core and historybounding existed, this is the kind of ridiculously idyllic life I wanted to lead.
Same! I always wanted a cottage home because of this and matilda!🥰
Me too
Go do it!
Beatrix Potter is one of my inspirations to be an author. I’m glad they showed a brief way how Peter Rabbit came to be.
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.
This made me cry.

There was something very, very magical about this show that moderns kids shows can't seem to find
I was born in 1997, so pretty much a « « « modern » » » kid, I loved and still love this show, it made me dream about beautiful country sides
Yes these sort of shows are sweet but still exciting. Modern shows are usually hyper, brash and don’t always evoke imagination like this
I completely agree it was beautiful. Always makes you think of it once in a while.
Being born in 1997 I think was a perfect year to experience old and new at the same time
@@ultramariogod i totally agree !
If you didn't grow up with this, your childhood sucks.
Exactly!

1993seanmcg Literally looked up this video because it reminds me of happy memories in my childhood! 🙈☺️
The early CGI shows were great. Reboot and Shadow Raiders!
You're quite right.👏👏👏💐
@comeherespiral 👍💐
This intro is so cozy and warm. I wish life was like this.
It could be if human would be wiser and more intelligent.
@@emmaphilo4049 it could be if we weren’t forced to the horrible indoctrination camps aka schools to torture us for our entire childhood
You hit the nail on the head ... cozy and warm ..the perfect description for the intro 👌🏾
I've always had a clip of her painting in my mind for years and years and now I've finally found it this is so surreal omg
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
Literally same!! Watching this after all these years felt like witnessing a very distant memory that almost feels like a dream
Same for me and my sister! So glad we found it! That vision of the woman painting, the animals and the rain.. Feels so damn good!
Me too!!! I was listening to sleep song by secret garden and I swore it sounded the same.
Me too!!!!! Once I watched this it’s like a water dam of memories bursted open.
Why wasn't I born in the 1800's in a cottage with a rabbit and a cozy fireplace :(

I looked forward to the opening and closing more than the actual story in between.

One of my childhood memories... this has the magic the so-called live-action 'Peter Rabbit' really lacks!
I think growing up with this is part of the reason why I always want to have fancy teacups and sit and watch the rain from my cozy home

The one and only Peter Rabbit. Done with taste, respect and actual meaning.

This woman has the ideal life. Art and nature....

I aspire to make music like this. What a lovely, peaceful, beautiful sound.
The song is Miriam Stockley - Perfect Day in case you wondered!
Holy nostalgia!
I'm Puerto Rican but I watched this as a kid and it made me want to be European xD
Still remembered it like it was yesterday 😊😊 brings peace everytime I watch the intro 🤌🏾👍🏾
I used to just think England was like this now when I watched as a kid.
Same
The culture shock when I arrived here and it didn't at all match this lmao.
I imagine some places are like it in england but it's very difficult to find them and I certainly hope they're preserved

love this
This is my childhood ;_;
This was also translated to Dutch, I always found this intro very cozy feeling and warm...
Well this just unlocked a whole chunk of memories in my brain
Forget the new Sony movie, this is the real deal!
Someone PLEASE tell me how I get that beginning music downloaded. I listen to Miriam Stockley on repeat, but I NEED this quaint version
Peter Murray, Marky Jaimes has an instrumental version of Perfect Day
Adoro!! Muito lindo esse vídeo.
oh my golly, i actually just relived about 8 years of my child hood in 3mins and 11seconds.
I wish I would of known her stories when growing up she so magical
Seeing this after probably 10 years and remembering all the words and actions after theyre spoken and done :) Made me want to cry, seeing this I just want to go and buy some bloomers and woollen socks and boots and a long-sleeved white dress and felt jacket and hat and go painting and running around in the British countryside with a big dog for company
I'm crying like a big baby right now. This is my childhood 😭💖
I wish this England still existed.
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. ;)
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.
Too many memories at once, I started crying… I’ll rewatch those some time, that’s for sure.❤
Does anyone have any idea of the name of this piece of music, or any links to similar pieces?
It's called perfect day. by Miriam Stockley.
Danny Phelleps Thank you very much! I really like this piece, and I didn't even think it existed outside this opening :D
I used to watch this on VHS and rewind the intro all the time when I was a kid. Such an awesome/cute movie. Thank you for posting this!
I remember watching this on my VHS
Well, there's my entire childhood contains in 3 minutes and 10 seconds. No wonder it feels like it flew by.
My childhood, I wanted to live like her ❤
if only the film about B Potter had this magical taste .........
Almost 3:00am and can't sleep. I started humming the melody I remember from this series that soothes me still. What is the name of the song?
Perfect Day - Miriam Stockley
2:29 "...tea..."

This is most pleasing opening before a storytime. I enjoyed the stories very much and wished I own the books for myself.
I went to this marvellous place where the intro was filmed ❤❤. Still, it remains the same.
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)
I’m not really that type of person,but, I’m here in 2020
The music is otherworldly
This is a window to another happy time.
Why was she such a bitch to Jemima?
Gosh. Peter Rabbit doesn't really hold up to when I saw it as a kid, but I still love this opening, if nothing else.
What?...

As a kid, I always thought that actress was the real Beatrix Potter. This intro captures the essence of her and her stories so well.
Out of my way please Jemima!!!!! 😂😍😪
My rabbit would have eaten all that paper by the time I'd got back in! >_<
I adore the song, the cartoons and the stories
This show always relaxed me.
+TheoKabala89 Me too, I always go to this when my anxiety is too overwhelming and it always makes me calm. Loved the show as a child.
I always love how she just sighs and saws TEAAA as she pours it as if we need to be told what that is lol!!
Hello, I remember watching this series at grandparents house and loved it, but honestly made me sad which I don’t know why. But I remember reading her books when I was way little.
