Michael Bond’s classic Paddington franchise has found its cinematic entry.

When a bear is extremely courteous, that itself draws the attention of the children. And when the bear, who hails from Peru, is presented in a film with loads of comedy, should I say that it’s a treat for children? Well, you should watch the film to accept my statement.

Plot

The young hero, the courageous Paddington bear, journeys all the way to London from Peru, since his locale is destroyed. He has nothing with him except marmalade, which was given to him by his aunt Lucy. His aunt convinces him that the British takes care of the children evacuated by war. While in London, Paddington is for a short period taken care of by the Browns (who are exceptionally good to him inspite of the problems they face). Now watch the movie to know how it proceeds, whether it is predictable or unpredictable…..

Analysis

Paul King, who is famous for The Mighty Boosh, a television series, has helmed direction for Paddington. He has handled the movie in such a way that it proves a convincing treat to the children. The movie is produced by Heydey Films, which has given us the Harry Potter series.

What’s there?

  • There is the right blend of silliness and melancholy in the movie.
  • The movie is a visual treat. London is shown beautifully in the film.
  • Both the titular character and the other human characters are well-etched and well presented.
  • The contemporary feel of the film has been done quite well.

What’s not there?

The script could have been given more flesh.

Verdict

A film that will vibe well with the target audience.
