Corrected entry: The Land Rover bonnet is opened by Peter because his ears were stuck under it, but is closed seconds after. (00:35:25)
Peter Rabbit (2018)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Will Gluck
Starring: Margot Robbie, Domhnall Gleeson, Elizabeth Debicki, Daisy Ridley
Other mistake: When Tom is being hit with the fruit, he is being hit high enough for Bee to see the fruit but doesn't react to random fruit hitting Tom. (01:00:15)
Question: How is it that Thomas can understand what the rabbits are saying as shown in the make-up scene and no other human can?
Answer: It's not clear if he actually can hear them or not. It's implied in the film that it's possibly stress or a mental break that is causing him to hallucinate their voices, or is suddenly thinking on a brain wave length that can understand them. If it's the former, it's coincidence that he hears similar to what Peter is actually saying. Either case explains why he suddenly can hear them when nobody else can around them despite them talking in front of people.
Answer: The humans can actually understand the rabbits. Because notice during the scene when Peter is about to put the carrot in the Old Mr. McGregor's pants, the rabbits are talking quietly, most likely so Mr. McGregor doesn't hear them. And then there aren't any other scenes where they talk at a normal volume, or talk at all around humans, except for at the end when Peter is apologizing to the young Mr. McGregor.

Correction: This is correct that the bonnet does close. However, you will notice that when Tom stops the land rover it is on a country lane. When we see it next it's turning on to a main road. Indicating some time has passed. Enough to close the bonnet again.
