About this movie

Adapted from Michael Bond’s beloved books, “Paddington” follows the comic misadventures of a polite young Peruvian bear with a passion for all things British, who travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he begins to realise that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kind Brown family, who read the label around his neck (‘Please look after this bear. Thank you.’) and offer him a temporary haven. But little do the Browns realise just how much comic mayhem one young bear will bring to their family life, and when this rarest of bears catches the eye of a sinister, seductive taxidermist, it isn’t long before his home – and very existence – is under threat... Produced by David Heyman (The Harry Potter series) “Paddington”, is a timeless and universal story written and directed by Paul King. With Ben Whishaw as the voice of Paddington Bear, the film’s all-star cast includes Hugh Bonneville, Nicole Kidman, Sally Hawkins, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi and Julie Walters.

As a die hard fan of the innocent cartoon from the 70's, I initially refused to see another classic memory ruined by CGI but when my daughter eventually watched it, I sat with her and found it to be a very charming, warm and funny movie. Paddington is voiced perfectly, gentle and endearing. Nicole Kidman looks gorgeous and there are some really funny moments in this film. Please don't be put off by the CGI, this is beautifully crafted and I am glad I did watch it in the end.

My little one (33 months) really enjoyed the movie but she got panicked and scared when Paddington was in danger (two incidents). There were audible crying from other small kids in the cinema so whilst it is a really good movie, probably not for little ones. Though she has asked to see it again since.
