    • Trivia
      Paddington author Michael Bond died on the last day of filming, and six months before the release of this movie, at the age of ninety-one. His last book about the title character was released in April 2017. Books on Paddington have sold more than thirty-five million copies throughout his career.
    • Goofs
      When the BT telephone in the red phone box rings, it rings with an American (US) ring style. The phone rings with a long ring followed by a short pause then a long ring. In the U.K. the phone would have a double ring followed by a longer pause then a double ring. That all being said, the particular BT phone in the phone box wouldn't even ring with a bell, as heard in the film, but has an electronic ringer.
    • Quotes

      Paddington: Aunt Lucy said: "If we're kind and polite, the world will be right."

    • Crazy credits
      Like in Paddington (2014), the credits feature the assurance "No bears were harmed in the making of this film."
    • Alternate versions
      The US release, by Warner Bros. Pictures, made slight changes at the beginning and ending: . The opening animated WBP logo is shown before the StudioCanal & Heyday Films logos. . "StudioCanal presents" has been retyped as "Warner Bros. Pictures and StudioCanal Presents" . The credit for Anton Capital Entertainment, S.A. Is added in-between the presenters & producer credits, making the opening title cue a little more approach. . At the ending of the closing credits, the MPAA logo (with approved #) is added next to the Dolby Atmos logo. . The closing still WBP logo is added after the StudioCanal still, inverted logo.

    Unbelievably good, brings back all those Paddington memories
    I used to read all the Paddington books when I was a small boy and my wife when she was a little girl. We both loved all the crazy escapades that Paddington got into and he did it all with a good heart.

    I very much enjoyed seeing the first Paddington but did feel it wasn't quite Paddington with the scary woman and the scary scenes.

    Paddington 2 completely captures the essence of the the books and really wrings out the most of some of the characters.

    Brendan Gleeson is superb as the 'nasty' Knuckles who quickly warms to Paddington. This might sound far-fetched but the whole film is very childish. Now that's not childish in the sense of "silly and immature" but in the other definition of "appropriate to a child". The whole film shows and plays scenes as a child might imagine things to be - for example how the prison works and especially the lovely idea that the warden reads the inmates a bedtime story to help them all get to sleep.

    There are superb performance from all the actors and a huge number of cameos. Even the small scenes put in by the like of Joanna Lumley and Rob Brydon are clearly done with great love from the actors. Hugh Grant puts in a superb over the top performance as the baddie, which really let him flex his vocal talents!

    The whole film is done in bright colours and with a superb musical backing track. When you are watching the film be careful to pay attention to all the small details, such as the newspaper headlines and the To Do list in the Brown's Kitchen, there a huge number of little jokes in the background and I suspect I'll spot a whole load more when I watch this again on Blu-Ray!

    Not really spoilers but there is only one really 'scary' scene near the end but it is so beautifully done and you know that Paddington will win so even the little ones won't cry. And make sure you stay for ALL the credits as they play out to an amazing "what happened after" montage.

    I have noticed that that at the time of writing this review there were 927 votes and 15 people have given the film a 1-star. Now I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but in this case I suspect these people might not really understand Paddington and what he's all about, if you have young children and they love Paddington then they will love this film.

    This film is suitable for young children aged 4 to 104 :)

    Let you into a secret, when my wife and I went to watch this film there were a lot of people in the cinema but not one was under 18! From the looks of it the audience was aged 20 - 80!

    I cried and I laughed through the whole film and rekindled my inner Paddington.
