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.
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.
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.
@@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 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 RUclips video. :) Get in touch if you're curious/want further details, my username @gmail.
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.
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 :)
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.
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
This scene and this music is simply jawdroppingly beautiful. The rapid cuts allow the viewer to see so many aspects of the countryside, from the animals to the beautiful greenery. The music is so soothing and fits the scene perfectly.
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.
Childhood memories are the best... I admired this so much, that I would imitate this intro and sit in the sun by the lake close to my house, painting the scenery, while my cat sat right next to me and watched me paint. Aaah, good times :)
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.
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 :)
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).
This took me so long to remember what it was I was looking for, I remembered a scene from a Beatrix Potter film of a woman painting a landscape and now I have found it! It's all come back to me! It is so wonderfully strange to see this again after so long, the music, the brightly green coloured water in the jar, the canvas, the woman and the paint pallette... I remember it all so clearly now, and I don't remember much from my childhood so this is beautiful to see, thank you uploader. x
I think its truly amazing that this show could leave such an imprint that most of us could remember every detail of the opening despite the many years since last seeing it.
Just got the music of this opening stuck in my head and I’ve been humming it for awhile now!! Heh this shows off a lot of my English!! And how much I love English tv shows!!
This is incredible! On a whim I searched for this little intro and can't believe I found it! So glad this is on youtube! It really is a beautiful, heartwarming little piece....made me tear up a bit, I used to love it as a kid. :)
I wish this was still on TV. Then I wouldn't have to look it up to have an "enlightened" childhood. I love Beatrix Potter even though I am a kid in the 21st century and live in the US. I would love to visit London and even live there one day! I wish everyone wasn't so modern and enjoyed the simple things once in a while. Because listen, I am doing this when I could be on social media!
Even though the DVDs for this series was more so meant for my younger sister, I watched it a lot with her back in the day and watching this again is so nostalgic. The music and imagery is absolutely aesthetically pleasing 😌
Reminds me of being young :) me and my brother would go walking with my dad in the woods near my grans than would go back to hers for juice and a biscuit while watching this in the living room by the fire . Amazing memory x
I found the most beautiful house, that was more like an English Castle and then, I took my whole family to see it with the realtor, and as we drove slowly up to the property, I put this CD in and let it play to set the stage and ambiance for the tour. Years later, we all remember the emotional attachment we felt towards that property, and how it made us all dream, once again. They still tell me how it touched their hearts.
The nostalgia from this was amazing ... tried to show my boyfriend how great the original peter was cause he's so in love with the new movie and this is exactly what I needed
When I was little, my mom got me the whole boxed set of the Beatrix Potter VHS tapes...Those were my absolute favorite videos to watch! (well, besides the Muppets and Fraggle Rock, lol...This intro video brings back good memories :)
I am watching all of this on RUclips. My Sister-in-law is introducing my little nephew to Beatrix Potter and they watch this regularly. I only read three Beatrix Potter books during my actual childhood so I am working hard on filling this gap in my education and I don't want my nephew to catch me out once he's older. I mentioned my actual childhood but I am having an ongoing replacement childhood.
I listen to this opening and i cry ....i cry for my childhood and to my father 💔💔💔💔 he dead when i was young and i lost the sense of life ..... the life was so peaceful, beautiful and pleasant when we where young !!
![State of Play | September 24, 2024 [ENGLISH]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/fVs0suPHAX8/mqdefault.jpg)
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.
Jess C. Saaameee
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
Saaaame
fr
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 .
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 👌🏾
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.
Same
WE GOT OLDDDDD
😞😞
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 :(
***** mmmm no not really sorry babes
+Michael Novotny I know x( Seems like such a nicer way to live
Thanks +Matthawilo This really encouraged me! Heaven is waiting ...

Yes, and hireth in Cornish

😢
Omg the nostalgia
MultiMetar the only reason I'm here!
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.
I feel relaxed when I see the fire and when she pours the tea.
I looked forward to the opening and closing more than the actual story in between.
YayCar agreed! 😁
Same!!!
Me too.
Same
Same!!
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
This is art. This is literal art. I love this so much.
this is the cottagecore fantasy I aspire to live up to one day
cottagecore?! LMAO
@@takethechance7422🤣
Just buy a run down old house in country and you can live like this. This is idealized but in reality it's very achievable.
@@Not-Ap in this economy??

This is extremely nostalgic for me. Unlocking my childhood.
The one and only Peter Rabbit. Done with taste, respect and actual meaning.
This woman has the ideal life. Art and nature....
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.
+harrietamidala1691 You can convert them over to dvd.

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.
Heard the trust sold some, does anyone know is correct. I hate to see that if indeed it occured.
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 still think of this scene every rainy day, thanks for helping me to relive the childhood memory x
My childhood, I wanted to live like her ❤
Well this just unlocked a whole chunk of memories in my brain

I remember this wonderful intro so vividly from childhood! I love it so much.
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.
This scene and this music is simply jawdroppingly beautiful. The rapid cuts allow the viewer to see so many aspects of the countryside, from the animals to the beautiful greenery. The music is so soothing and fits the scene perfectly.
still love watching these it's all beautiful ! childhood! I've got them on dvd for my son to enjoy when he's bit older
The moment it starts raining is my favorite!

So cute. Takes me right back to my childhood: a rainy day on a Sunday, all warm and cosy as I got lost in the beautiful, soft colours. Love it.
I wish this England still existed.
I remember getting this on dvd for Christmas when I was younger.I would watch it over and over again.The intro was my favorite.
This is my happy place from when I was a child about 20 years ago.
This is why I love the rain
I always revist this beautiful show. Its where my childhood still lives .
Childhood memories are the best...
I admired this so much, that I would imitate this intro and sit in the sun by the lake close to my house, painting the scenery, while my cat sat right next to me and watched me paint.
Aaah, good times :)
This is the epitome of nostalgia i love it so much 😊

It always stuck in my heart with the video I watched when I was a child. I finally found it. Thank you.
I remember watching this as a kid, I always wanted to watch it. Brings back so many memories
For like 15 years I couldn't remember where this music is from and it kept popping in my mind. I'm so glad I've finally found it.
I'm Puerto Rican but I watched this as a kid and it made me want to be European xD
It sounds so pure and beautiful.. every Thursday afternoon at 3:30pm I'd watch this with my mother.
This is my childhood ;_;
For so long this has been my go to song when im down.. I love her world
I remember watching this on my VHS
i watched this all the time when i was little. i loved it...and still do :-)
Just beautiful!

love the song, love the memories.
This was one of my favourite shows as a kid! Seeing this video brings back so many memories :) You would never see anything like this on TV today!
I agree, this is such a blast from the past. Some of my fondest childhood memories is me sat by the fire, book in hand watching Beatrix Potter.
Well, there's my entire childhood contains in 3 minutes and 10 seconds. No wonder it feels like it flew by.
I'm only eighteen but in my childhood I saw this type of movie. Thank you grandparents!
I think its truly amazing that this show could leave such an imprint that most of us could remember every detail of the opening despite the many years since last seeing it.
Just got the music of this opening stuck in my head and I’ve been humming it for awhile now!! Heh this shows off a lot of my English!! And how much I love English tv shows!!
Oh the Nostalgia! 😢loved loved this acted entry to her stories. The kids today are fed garbage.
This is incredible! On a whim I searched for this little intro and can't believe I found it! So glad this is on youtube! It really is a beautiful, heartwarming little piece....made me tear up a bit, I used to love it as a kid. :)
oh man, i'm almost tearing up. i was like 2 when i first saw these vhs things. simpler times
I absolutely loved the opening scene and the ominous music. I would watch it over and over when I was a child.
I wish this was still on TV. Then I wouldn't have to look it up to have an "enlightened" childhood. I love Beatrix Potter even though I am a kid in the 21st century and live in the US.

I'm born 1990 and this was my favourite show when I was a child ❤
So beautiful, I watched this series and loved it....still do and the song 'Perfect Day' by Miriam Stockley is gorgeous. I could watch these forever ❤
I found the most beautiful house, that was more like an English Castle and then, I took my whole family to see it with the realtor, and as we drove slowly up to the property, I put this CD in and let it play to set the stage and ambiance for the tour. Years later, we all remember the emotional attachment we felt towards that property, and how it made us all dream, once again. They still tell me how it touched their hearts.
Wow. What a trip down memory lane. This series was amazing, as was the theme music, "Perfect Day", by the ever-excellent Miriam Stockley.
This series is so much better than that new Peter Rabbit cartoon they put on now :)
Watching this always transports me back to childhood ❤...such a feel good intro
Recently this has popped into my mind the past few heavy rains
Thank you for this video, I remember watching it here in Brazil, when I was child... Now it makes me cry, very nostalgic!
ASMR from my childhood.
I love this so much, so beautiful...

Takes me back to my childhood, just realised how amazing the music is in this
I always watched this with my mom when I was young, love the song!
Oh this brings tears to my eyes how I loved them as a kid
I'm not sure what gave me the motivation to look this up, but I'm glad I found it for old time's sake. :)
It's all coming back to me, the memories
I completely agree. I remember the magic of the Lake District, and of my beloved Peter rabbit, each time I see this
what a beautiful piece of music.....
After years of looking for this movie I finally found it!
O desejo que eu mais amei assistir e essa música da abertura me transmite algo que nem sei explicar ❤
Man I haven't seen this since I was a little kid in the early to mid 90's. Brilliant as I remember. :D
so beautiful.
I listen to this opening and i cry ....i cry for my childhood and to my father 💔💔💔💔 he dead when i was young and i lost the sense of life ..... the life was so peaceful, beautiful and pleasant when we where young !!
❤❤Love another perfect day & B. Potter.
Coisa linda! Música, estoria...tudo muito lindo.
I visited the low-lands of Scotland last summer, and that is excatly like in this intro, no kidding. The UK country side just blows you away
