Paddington
A warmhearted, funny adaptation of Michael Bond's beloved books, full of slapstick charm and a genuine message about kindness and belonging. The villain and a few tense sequences give it a real PG edge, so very sensitive little ones may need a reassuring lap to sit on.
Great for most kids 5 and up; confident 6- and 7-year-olds will love it most, while younger or sensitive children are fine with a grown-up nearby.
