They really did the books justice!

What could have turned out being a disastrous bastardization of a classic piece of kid’s literature in the vein of The Cat in the Hat and Where the Wild Things Are instead manages to be something completely unexpected: a film that effortlessly brings ideas from the past into the present day while never sacrificing what made them work in the first place. Paddington has all the charm, humor and good intentions that its hero has embodied for over five decades and is one of the best children’s book adaptations since The Iron Giant. Paddington arrives in England with only a suitcase and a note that reads, “Please look after this bear.” Director Paul King and everyone else involved with Paddington have done just that.
