Following in the furry footsteps of the popular family film, Paddington, this
much-anticipated sequel finds Paddington the Bear (voice of Ben Whishaw)
happily settled with the Brown family in London, where he has become a
popular member of the local community, spreading joy and marmalade wherever
he goes. While searching for the perfect present for his beloved Aunt
Lucy’s hundredth birthday, Paddington sees 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, who is a master of disguise. Based on the classic children’s books
by Michael Bond, Paddington 2 reunites many of the original film’s cast
while welcoming others in new roles, including Hugh Bonneville (“Downton
Abbey”), Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water), Brendan Gleeson, Julie
Walters, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi and Hugh Grant. (Dir. by Paul King,
2017, UK, 103 mins., Rated PG)
