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.

While this was more enjoyable than the sequel, I still found this a chore to get through. I just can't enjoy these.

Paddington is a well-produced and really amusing movie. A small bear comes to London and gets into some funny adventures while trying to find a family, as a villain tries to catch him for her museum. So the plot is fast-moving and inspiring.The screenplay is gripping and warm. The soundtrack with some folk and soul music fits perfectly and make this story even nicer and better. I think this film is stunning, unpredictable, full of kindness and perfect for any audience! Definitely worth watching!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This movie is so unbelievably cute but why was no body questioning a talking bear..? Like it was a normal thing in London?

Its Rotten Tomato rating is way too high. But even though I've seen this story before, this one is well written and very artistic.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
