Welcome back. It’s time for a new installment in the Margot Robbie filmography watch through! We’ve seen her before as Flopsy in Peter Rabbit (2018) and just under two months later she’s back as Flopsy in the short film we’re looking at today…Flopsy Turvy (2018).
Title: Flopsy Turvy
Director: David Scott
Released: March 30, 2018 (United States)
Runtime: 4 minutes
Watched via: Vimeo
When I look at Margot Robbie‘s filmography, there are a few short films in the mix. Since I’ve already covered Peter Rabbit, I figured why not try and find the short film Flopsy Turvy (2018).
Luckily for me, one of the top search results was a Vimeo link. But it gets even better, not only was it actually Flopsy Turvy (2018), but it was uploaded by director, David Scott.
The short focuses on Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail. It focuses on their sibling rivalries and how despite these rivalries, at the end of the day they’re always there for each other. It’s a cute little short.
But what is more interesting is the story behind it.
As David Scott explains on Vimeo, the short was originally intended to be a bonus on the DVD release. But there was a catch, “it needed to use existing background plates and dialog outtakes from the Peter Rabbit feature”.
When Sony saw it after it was completed, they were so impressed that they decided to run Topsy Turvy ahead of Peter Rabbit during the final stretch of its theatrical run. Because of this, he was able to get Margot to come in and do the narration for his short.
If you haven’t seen Flopsy Turvy (2018), definitely follow the Vimeo link above and go check it out.
