After a deadly earthquake destroys his home in Peruvian rainforest, a young bear 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 and Mary Brown. Although Paddington's amazement at urban living soon endears him to the Browns, someone else has her eye on him: Taxidermist Millicent Clyde has designs on the rare bear and his hide.

PADDINGTON is better than 5 of the 8 movies currently nominated for Best Picture.
also, while we're playing that game, i'll add that it's a better (and more nuanced) immigrant story than THE IMMIGRANT. and it would be even better if sprinkled with Werner Herzog's narration from GRIZZLY MAN.

we love the shthaaaaltudpdcu (sally hawkins takes home an anthropomorphic animal and loves them unconditionally despite public dissent cinematic universe)
... so are we sure that wes anderson wasn’t like ... the main creative consultant for this production design
Paddington, both in the form of Michael Bond’s original stories and Ivor Wood’s captivating animated series, was always a childhood favourite which was why I was so opposed to the news of a cinematic adaptation. The terrible marketing and soulless trailers only reinforced my original opinion that a film based on the marmalade obsessed bear from darkest Peru was a mistake. How wrong I was.
Ignore everything you’ve seen and forget about other recent CG/live-action hybrid adaptations of much-loved childhood characters, Paddington is a warm, charming and beautifully detailed movie for the whole family. Paddington is as sweet, well-mannered and inquisitive as he was in the pages of Bond’s cherished books whilst the filmmakers expand the world to appeal to…
can i have the weapon that Nicole Kidman use to put people to sleep bcs i would fucking shoot myself with that.
LOVE IT. Very much an adult movie as it is for kids. Sharply written and just all round cute with a family vibe.
Paddington! Who would have thought a 40+ year old would enjoy this that much. A sweet, nostalgic, inventive, fun and exiting movie for all ages. A minor classic on par with the best Pixar movies.
"Paddington" is such a sweet movie with so much soul! It's fun, entertaining, fast-paced and great quality family entertainment. It's a British movie in its entirety and it makes fun of Britain in its own British fashion. "Paddington" is all fun and sweet moments, and although it is a fairytale,it can be seen as an allegory that carries a bigger value. As such, it is more than an entertaining movie although at moments its silly moments can be overdone. "Paddington" is a movie I'm glad I've watched!
Theory: This movie is the PG version of The Shape of Water. Think about it. It's a film about a creature that is taken from their home and wants to be treated fairly and find somewhere they can live safely. Sally Hawkins character falls in love with the creature and trys to help him. Both movies have a scene where the bathroom is completely filled with water. Both movies have a scientist that tried to prove that the creature is more intelligent then what the other colleagues were giving it credit for. And the main theme is that even though you are different you can still fit in. Boom
(someone probably already thought of this but I don't care)
