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.

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
