Paddington

This was a lovely film for an introduction to a well-loved character, if a bit far-fetched in places. I loved the novelty of the bathroom scene and Mr. Brown’s occupation as well as the bears assumptions of everything in comparison to their visitors. There’s a lot of characters that seem to accept the impossible and carry on with their lives as if things have no consequence such as Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Bird. But there’s also a spark of innocence as a beloved character explores a world that we take for granted. The all-star cast is executed as much as the script allows, but I feel that a different story could have involved more characters. There’s some great chaotic action scenes that children will adore, as well as a lot of small jokes that people can identity with. But if a Home For Retired Bears exists, surely there must be a part of bear society to accompany orphaned bears?
