PADDINGTON 2 (Theatrical Release USA 2017)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

Paddington 2 is one of those rare films that is as good as its prequel and serves as wonderful entertainment for children and adults alike. The animation of Paddington Bear is very good and all cast members work to establish an onscreen presence that works for the story instead of against it. Great work for Director Paul King.
