Unsolved Children discover that adults don't always know what they're doing.

HINTS:

  • Lots of good guesses within British Lit. Keep bringing that energy.
  • The main character isn't a nincompoop. Just has incomplete knowledge.
  • Rabbits...lots and lots of rabbits.

(I haven't heard of this movie, and just immediately thought of the child, North, last name West, who is not a movie, but still unfortunately fits the criteria given in the post prompt)
