Paddington (2015)
2015 | Comedy, Family
Family friendly fare, following the (mis)adventures of a talking bear from deepest darkest Peru who travels to London, is named after the train station in which he arrives and falls in with the Brown family.

Inoffensive stuff, although Nicole Kidman's Millicent does steer uncomfortably close to scary stuff for the younger viewers ...

I started reading this series when I was 10/11 and I really enjoyed reading about the boy genius/semi-evil mastermind. I guess you could say we grew up together. I read books 1-6 pretty much as soon as they came out, enjoying Artemis' adventures. I'm now 25, and my tastes have changed quite a bit, which means Artemis is now a good 10 years younger than me and I don't enjoy his adventures as much. I'm glad that all the gang returned for the story and all. I do feel a need to finish the series and I do own the eighth and last book in the series, so I will finish it at some point but it won't be my next read.
  
I wanted to like this tale better than I did, but it's just not as charming as the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The drawings are as delightful as ever but the characters are mostly cranky, Alice is more bratty, and how the story moves along isn't as fantastical. Not bad by any means, but a disappointing follow-up.
