Paddington 2

Movie · 2017

Paddington 2 is a warm, funny, and beautifully made sequel in which our favourite bear is wrongly sent to prison and must be cleared by the Brown family. The tone is gentle and reassuring throughout, with kindness and community at its heart.

Most comfortable for ages 5 and up; sensitive children around 4 may need a reassuring lap for the prison and train sequences.
