Paddington has spotted the best birthday present for his Aunt Lucy, but it's a lot more money than the 50p Mrs Bird pulled out of his ear that morning. He knows what to do though, he must get a job (or several) and earn the money to buy the wonderful pop-up book of London from the antiques shop. His plans aren't going to well though, and when he spies a burglar breaking in to the upstairs window of the shop things take an even worse turn.

I still haven't seen Paddington 1 yet, I know, shame on me. But after one of my Unlimited buddies saying they'd seen it three times already it convinced me that I should go and see it too.

He's not the original Paddington that I know and love, but he's still kind of adorable, I guess.

There's a fantastic cast of people, and personally, Brendan Gleeson as Knuckles is my favourite. From terrifying chef to terrified of a bear's glare... genius. The only character that I wasn't keen on was Hugh Grant's Phoenix Buchanan.

The beginning felt a little drawn out, but once the action started I was carried away with the whole tale. A really enjoyable watch and definitely one that I'd sit down to see when I see it on the TV listings.
