<\/a>From the producers of Harry Potter<\/em> comes this 21st Century version of Paddington<\/strong> with all the charm that this classic character deserves. The storyline follows a young Peruvian bear who travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he meets the kindly Brown family, who offer him a temporary haven. KIDS FIRST! Critics Gerry O. comments, “<\/span>This movie has a nice core of humor with an intriguing story that is intense, but lighthearted too. Breathtaking special effects, animation and a strong feel of adventure round out the show.” Brianna Hope B adds, “Paddington<\/em> is so outgoing and adorable. You can\u2019t help but love this bear. He has an innocent way about him, but still is a little mischievous and gets into trouble.” See their full reviews below.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
Paddington<\/span><\/em> Paddington<\/span><\/em> is a great adventure, with lots of twists and turns. This film is playful, comedic, enjoyable and definitely a great film for friends and family. Paddington<\/span><\/em> (Ben Whishaw, voice) is a rare breed of bear that travels all alone to London.\u00a0 He wants to find a home after his is destroyed. While there, he discovers that it\u2019s not what he expects, but finds a family that\u2019s willing to take him in and look after him for just a little while. This is when everyone\u2019s adventure begins. Paddington<\/span><\/em> is so outgoing and adorable. You can\u2019t help but love this bear. He has an innocent way about him, but still is a little mischievous and gets into trouble. His visual effects and fur looks very real and life-like. Nicole Kidman\u2019s character (Millicent) is very determined to add Paddington to her collection of stuffed animals.\u00a0 She will stop at nothing to get him. She\u2019s fierce, frightening and intimidating. I love the story line, humor, and definitely the action. I liked that the climax of this film is very unpredictable and shocks the audience. My favorite character would have to be Paddington. <\/em>He truly thinks of the wellbeing of others and his curiosity is adorable. He reminds you of a child learning new things. A scene that I would call my favorite is when Paddington<\/em> tries to return a wallet to a man that dropped out of his packet while walking out of an antique shop. Paddington chases him, trying to get the wallet to him. Finally he catches up with the man by falling on him from the air. When he falls on the man they both tumble down and about 30 wallets fall out of the man\u2019s coat. Paddington<\/em> catches a pickpocket and ends up in the paper on his first day in London. It\u2019s a very comical scene that makes the audience crack up. One of the messages of this film is that families are not just made up by the people who are related to us, but friends and even animals can be a part of our family. I recommend Paddington<\/em> for ages 8 to 16. However it\u2019s great for the whole family and anyone who loves Bears. It\u2019s rated PG and there\u2019s nothing really you would need to look out for. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great film that makes you feel good. Paddington<\/em> arrives in theaters on January 16th<\/sup>, so please check it out.
