Most fascinating family film

4 stars

27 Nov 2017

Paddington was hilarious for its extraordinary and intriguing family theme. This is because when he arrives in London after the catastrophe at his original home, Paddington is looking for a home and a family. The beginning of the film is so detailed and realistic that I can imagine myself in Darkest Peru with Paddington, making marmalade. When he 'accidentally' sets his new home alight and is kicked out, it is extremely emotional; especially when he has to sleep on a bench, although it is comforting to see him being fed by a soldier. If I were to compare this film to Zootropolis, I would prefer Paddington with its adrenalin for what is going to happen next, such as when Mr Brown shuffles along the outside ledge of the museum, making him seem like a hero. This film would appeal to the entire family.
