3.0

Story is basically one big chase scene, and a fairly good one with a surprising amount of twists and complications as Peter (unable to stay out of mischief) sneaks into Mr. McGregor's garden and has his escape route cut off when he's discovered.

The story does a good job of building tension, but doesn't do much in terms of character beyond Peter's tendency to disobey common-sense and get himself into trouble. 

This was light fun, with some good bits of tension.
