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 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

This is a family-oriented film that makes you feel a certain optimism about humanity, which is not a common sentiment in the world of cinema but is something sorely needed. Furthermore, the production is brilliant, from the design of the colorful and unique environments that reflect each family member's personality to the special effects that bring Paddington to life. However, I must point out that the best way to watch this film is in its original version, as the dubbing falls short in many aspects inherent to the dubbing process, such as inconsistent voice levels, lack of synchronization with Paddington's gestures, and a script that pales in comparison to the original. This is something that might make sense for other films, but in this one, it was felt even more strongly.

"Paddington" is a heartwarming and delightful film that has charmed audiences of all ages. The story follows the adventures of the endearing Paddington Bear as he arrives in London and tries to find a new home. The visual effects are top-notch, bringing the furry and lovable Paddington to vivid life. His innocent and curious personality shines through, making it impossible not to fall in love with him. The human characters also add depth to the narrative. The Brown family's initial hesitation and eventual acceptance of Paddington create a touching arc. The film's humor is gentle and well-timed, with plenty of comical moments that will have viewers chuckling. Moreover, the message of kindness, acceptance, and the importance of family is beautifully conveyed. It shows that even in a big, bustling city, there is room for a little bear with a big heart. "Paddington" is not just a children's movie but a feel-good film that warms the soul and leaves a lasting impression, making it a must-see for those seeking a dose of pure cinematic joy and a reminder of the power of love and friendship. I usually use these two sites for more free movies and short dramas.If you have a better website, please recommend it to me.

Heartwarming, humorous and with genuine emotional resonance, Paddington is a beautifully crafted illustration of everything good in humanity and in particular, everything good about the UK.
