Roads were closed and a number of colourful cutouts in the shape of rabbits could be seen lined up along a railing, used in the animation process.
The first film in the live-action series starred the voice of James Corden as the eponymous rabbit and Margot Robbie as Flopsy Rabbit as well as the narrator.
