Movie Info

PADDINGTON 2 finds Paddington happily settled with the Brown family in Windsor Gardens, where he has become a popular member of the community, spreading joy and marmalade wherever he goes. While searching for the perfect present for his beloved Aunt Lucy's hundredth birthday, Paddington spots a unique pop-up book in Mr. Gruber's antique shop, and embarks upon a series of odd jobs to buy it. But when the book is stolen, it's up to Paddington and the Browns to unmask the thief... Helmed by twice BAFTA nominated director Paul King, PADDINGTON 2 is co-produced by multi award-winning David Heyman / Heyday Films (producer of all eight of the HARRY POTTER films, GRAVITY, THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS, FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM) and StudioCanal, who will also distribute in the UK, France, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. PADDINGTON is based on the best-selling and internationally adored series of children's stories by British author Michael Bond, which have sold more than 35 million copies worldwide, been translated into over 40 languages and captured the imagination of children and adults around the globe.

Audience Reviews for Paddington 2

  • Dec 15, 2018
    Adorable and charming with beautiful production design. Kids should get a real kick out of it, adults should still appreciate the love that went into this and the cast obviously having a great time. The train showdown is almost Mission-Impossible-worthy.

    Even better than the first with a sweet funny and magical story which ably entertains on two levels for kids and adults. Hugh Grant almost steals the show and the rest of the cast is perfectly cast. A very good family movie! 05-18-2018

    As delightful as the first one with the added bonus of Hugh Grant's terrific villain.

    The first Paddington film was great, but this is even better. Smarter, funnier but still as warm as ever, with a standout performance from hugh grant as well.
