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 a wonder: warm, gentle, well-acted, funny without being stupid.

While this was more enjoyable than the sequel, I still found this a chore to get through. I just can't enjoy these.

This was a very enjoyable viewing experience. Nicole Kidman was great as the villain!

Uma das maiores surpresas do cinema familiar. Paddington pega no clássico urso da literatura britânica e entrega uma comédia irresistível, transbordante de empatia, humor visual brilhante ao estilo de Wes Anderson e uma mensagem linda sobre acolhimento. É puro conforto em forma de filme.

Heart-warming, funny, and brilliantly conceived. The same can be said for all three Paddington movies...even though the 3rd one had a different director and a different actress playing Ms. Brown. Easily one of the most consistently superb trilogies ever!

Paddington it’s definitely five stars cause it’s funny. Has that British charm and an adaptation of the original book was actually a very good idea.
