A wonderful adaptation drawn from the characters immortalised in the books, this film is a major success. Heart-warming and humorous without being mawkish or over-sentimental, the antics and escapades of lovable Paddington Bear will surely delight fans of all ages.
How the animators achieved such a wonderful and memorable 'Paddington' is a minor miracle. His expressions and mannerisms are spot on, whilst the cast are obviously all enjoying themselves enormously in being permitted to perform in Paddington's World. It is obvious that a great deal of love and affection has been injected into the making of this film; the acting, graphics, editing, sets and storyline are all virtually flawless, and you must surely be a soul with no heart not to find some modicum of pleasure from this 90 minute magical movie experience.
Paddington was an adventurous , fun family film that made me laugh on more than one occasion something rare for a comedic children's film. The visual effects were stunning. The acting was alright some of the child acting is not up to scratch and Nicole Kidman's performance is laughable but all of this is distracted by Peter Capaldi's humorous character / performance .The cinematography was unique and different though not all of it fit in a children's movie.
It is witty, amusing, engaging & sometimes sad. The cast is phenomenal & any film that finishes without me looking at my watch to see how much longer I am going to have to wait to go home is a plus. I loved it. Paddington manages to wrap all this into a 95 minute family film that is funny all the way from beginning to end and is both memorable and fun for everyone. Paddington isn't a money grab, it is a passionate film that has creative cinematography, good writing, some good performances from Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins and Nicole Kidman, along with some great voice acting from Ben Whishaw and Imelda Staunton.
To summarise, Paddington is a serious film about meaning something, but it is also creative, funny, memorable and all around fun film for the whole family
