“Paddington Bear”, now that’s a name that takes me back a few years. I remember looking at pictures in the Paddington Bear books before I could even read. Now, I can share the wonderful story of Paddington with my young kids, just like my parents did with me. Except in a much cooler way! I love the way technology can take a character from a book that you loved as a child and make you fall in love again. Paddington looks so real in this movie that I think my little ones are going to believe he is a real talking bear! This movie looks like it is going to be a great family adventure, full of laughs and hard lessons learned.
About Paddington:
From the beloved novels by Michael Bond and producer David Heyman (HARRY POTTER), PADDINGTON tells the story of the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw) who travels to the city in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family who read the label around his neck that says “Please look after this bear. Thank you.” and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist.
Starring Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi, Nicole Kidman, and Ben Whishaw as the voice of Paddington.
