A solid Christmas Day choice.īased on the beloved children’s book by author Judith Kerr, who sadly died earlier this year, this new adaptation is a childhood favourite bought to life in a charming and nostalgic way.

The Disney crowdpleaser is impossible not to love.įast becoming a classic, the second ‘Paddington’ film sees everyone’s favourite mishap-prone bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw) locking paws with Hugh Grant’s dastardly thespian Phoenix Buchanan.
