Director : Paul King
Running Time : 96 mins
Following the destruction of his Peruvian home, a bear travels to London to find a new home with the explorer that was so friendly to his family many years before. He is temporarily taken in by the Brown family and named Paddington (Whishaw) after the station he was found in, and soon begins the search for the man who promised him a home.
I didn’t expect to enjoy this live action version of the popular bear story, what with having always remembered him as being a strange mix of stop-motion against standard animation, but this manages to be both touching and funny throughout. It is a little schmaltzy in places, specifically in the characterisation of Mrs Brown (Hawkins) who seems to think everything is wonderful, but overall it is a fun and exciting kids movie that children of all ages should enjoy.
