    • Trivia
      Karen Jankel, daughter of Paddington's creator, Michael Bond, was almost moved to tears after the first screening she saw. "For me, it was bringing to life the bear that was so real to me. And I think they got it absolutely right."
    • Goofs
      The first shot of the fictional 'Westbourne Oak' tube station clearly shows the red-tiled name of the real Maida Vale station.
    • Quotes

      Paddington: Mrs Brown says that in London everyone is different, and that means anyone can fit in. I think she must be right - because although I don't look like anyone else, I really do feel at home. I'll never be like other people, but that's alright, because I'm a bear. A bear called Paddington.

    A good live action adaptation
    When his home in Darkest Peru is destroyed, a young bear travels to London in order to find a new home. He's helped by a couple with two kids, which share different opinions regarding the new troublemaker which "landed" in their home. Although helping him find a proper home, the Browns start to attach to the newcomer but his negligent way of life and an evil hunter from a local history museum tend to interfere in their relationship, for better or worse.

    We're presented with the amusing and entertaining adventures of this strange bear which comes to a big city in search of a new life, but ends up in a lot of trouble, more or less due to his actions. It's a movie which doesn't have an extraordinary plot, but it's enough to keep you interested while making you laugh with almost everything the cute bear does. By the way, the CGI is top notch, and together with the actors' performance, create a good movie for everybody to enjoy. As downsides, it tends to exaggerate in many scenes, while being very simplistic when speaking about the "evil" part which hunts Paddington.

    Still, it manages to create a very enjoyable atmosphere which makes this movie a very good watch, especially during winter holidays.

    FAQ4

    • In what time period is the film supposed to take place?
    • Why would the presence of a bear (let alone a talking one!) in the middle of a public, crowded train station go practically unnoticed by everyone around?
    • Why can Paddington speak (in pristine, posh RADA english no less!), let alone read and write, and why is there literally no scientific interest shown in him for this remarkable ability that completely defies biology, throughout the entire film?
