After a deadly earthquake destroys his home in Peruvian rainforest, a young bear (Ben Whishaw) makes his way to England in search of a new home. The bear, dubbed "Paddington" for the london train station, finds shelter with the family of Henry (Hugh Bonneville) and Mary Brown (Sally Hawkins). Although Paddington's amazement at urban living soon endears him to the Browns, someone else has her eye on him: Taxidermist Millicent Clyde (Nicole Kidman) has designs on the rare bear and his hide.

Paddington is a wonder: warm, gentle, well-acted, funny without being stupid.

Paddington is an old fashioned live action / animated film that recalls the lushly realised "fairytale" films of the 80's and 90's, and features terrific actors for oomph.

Richard Crouse

Offers up a message of tolerance. "In London everyone is different," says Paddington, "so everyone can fit in." It's a big idea, washed down with a giant melting-pot of marmalade, but also a timely one.

Rated: 4/5

I have become a HUGE fan of the director Paul King. This movie has Great Humour, Great Cinematography, Great Actors and Writing. It is a Masterpiece about welcoming immigrants. I will be proud to own this gem of a movie on Blu Ray.

One of those isolated cases of a film, inspired by a children's book, that knows how to please children and adult audiences alike; which is a great advantage in its favor, since it does not appeal to formulaic jokes. I couldn't say more.

Absolutely fantastic film, the best adaptation of a beloved childhood character I've ever seen. However there was a split second shot of he weirdly realistic beat feet that has haunted me since I saw this film.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
