    Storyline

    • 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.

    • Crazy credits
      The credits feature the assurance "No bears were harmed in the making of this film."

    It's hard to fault this bear
    I confess that I was never taken with the marketing for "Paddington". MOstly, the CG in the bear himself. But that tends to be absorbed into the movie's overall sweetness and playful visual style. At the heart of this is a wholesome message about human decency and belonging, and it's populated with likable Brits (Hugh Bonneville, in particular). Some good laughs, too; like seeing a trying to figure out a toothbrush or negotiate scotch tape.

    It's a good-natured movie, and what makes it a cut (or two or three) above modern family fare is that there's very little in the way of pop culture references and hipness.

    Just warmth.

    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?
