Paddington 2 - 2017 - 7/10
I certainly never thought a Paddington film would ever grace my screen again.
Especially after I roundly disparaged the first outing, which seemed modeled on the cartoon series.
This has the heart and charm of Bond's books and stories, though.
Paddington works jobs and saves money to buy a book for his Aunt Lucy, still in the Home For Retired Bears.
The book, a pop-up affair, is stolen, and Paddington and the Brown family get involved.
A gallery of guest stars and cameos add to the fast moving enjoyment.
Listen hard enough, and you can almost hear Michael Hordern narrating.
