Paddington

Paddington: Film Review


     Paddington is a 2014 British-French live action/computer animated family comedy film directed by Paul King. It was released in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2014 and grossed $259.5 million worldwide on a €38.5 million budget. It received a Empire Award nomination for Best British Film.

    The paddington movie started when a british geographer named Montgomery Clyde found out an unknown species of bear. He is about to shoot one down and take it to England but suddenly the bear playfully takes his gun away and learned that the family of bears were intelligent and can speak in english. He stays with them for a while became friends with the two bears which he named Lucy and Pastuzo. Before he leaves he gave his hat to Pastuzo and said that they're always welcome to go to London and visit him. 

     Years later, an earthquake strikes the home of the bears forcing them to find a safe place to live underground. But, Pastuzo wasn't able to reach their shelter in time then disappeared with his hat found next to his nephew. His Aunt Lucy told him to go seek and find solace in London. 


 
    Paddington thinks he can find a home with the geographer who found his aunt and uncle, but does not know the explorer's name. Then comes the journey of our little cute bear named Paddington. Meanwhile, a sadistic museum taxidermist named Millicent Clyde captures, kills, and stuffs exotic animals to house in the Natural History Museum. When she becomes aware of Paddington, she immediately sets out to hunt him down.

     This was a good movie and I find Paddington absolutely adorable and delightful. It's a perfect movie for the whole family to watch. This films also proves that children films like this doesn't need to be childish in a way to entertain. The film is filled with inventive and imaginative ways of telling its story and Paddington the animated bear fits perfectly in this idealized portrayal of London.
