Paddington is un-“bear”-able fun for the entire family. The film’s namesake, Paddington, is a charming bear that can speak English and was brought up by his aunt and uncle in the “darkest forests of Peru.” But after an earthquake destroys their home and his uncle is lost in the disaster, his aunt sends him to London where she believes he will be well taken care of. At least that is what an explorer told her many years ago when he visited Peru.
When the Brown family comes across the endearing little bear, they find his real name too hard to pronounce so they name him after the Paddington train station where they found him. They take him into their home and decide to help him find the explorer from his past. Little do they know the adventurous things that will happen to them as they come to love this wonderful and charming little bear. This film is filled with laughs and the heartwarming feeling that home is not just a roof over one’s head, but rather being part of a family who cares. We are proud to award “Paddington” the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages.
