Paddington 2 is a 2017 live-action animated comedy film directed by Paul King and written by King and Simon Farnaby. Based on the stories of Paddington Bear, created by Michael Bond (to whom the film is also dedicated, Bond having died that year), it is the sequel to Paddington (2014), and is produced by Heyday Films and StudioCanal UK. The film, a British-French-Luxembourgish co-production, stars Ben Whishaw as the voice of Paddington, with Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Brendan Gleeson, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi, and Hugh Grant in live-action roles. In the film, after Paddington is framed and imprisoned for a burglary that he did not commit, he and his family have to find the real culprit and prove his innocence.

The film was confirmed to be in development in April 2015. Principal photography began in October 2016 and ended in June 2017. The film was theatrically released on 10 November 2017 in the United Kingdom and 6 December 2017 in France, and grossed $227 million worldwide. The film received widespread critical acclaim on Metacritic and gained an approval rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, becoming the highest-rated film on the site until a single negative review was registered in 2021. It appeared on numerous lists of best films of the year and of the 2010s.[6] It received three nominations at the 71st British Academy Film Awards: Outstanding British Film, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor in a Supporting Role, for Grant. A third film, Paddington in Peru, released in November 2024.

Plot

[edit]

Paddington, having settled with the Brown family in Windsor Gardens, offers his neighbours emotional support in various ways. To purchase a one-of-a-kind pop-up book of London in Samuel Gruber's antique shop for his Aunt Lucy's 100th birthday, Paddington performs several odd jobs and saves his wages. One night, he witnesses a burglary at the shop in which the book is stolen. Paddington chases the thief, who escapes, and Paddington is framed and arrested. The thief returns home and is revealed to be the Browns' neighbour, Phoenix Buchanan, an egotistical actor. In court, Mr. Gruber states that he does not believe that Paddington stole the book. However, with no evidence of the thief's existence, Paddington is convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

In prison, Paddington is assigned to laundry duty, but accidentally washes a red sock with the white prison uniforms; the uniforms turn pink, angering the prisoners. The prison's short-tempered chef, Knuckles McGinty, hires Paddington to work in the kitchen after being impressed by his marmalade sandwich recipe. Meanwhile, the Browns attempt to prove Paddington's innocence, putting up sketches of the thief all over London, while Buchanan uses the book to locate a series of clues within London's landmarks, which reveal the location of a secret treasure. The Browns encounter a fortune teller who informs them that the book's clues lead to the hidden fortune of the book's author.

Because of Paddington's influence, the prison becomes a much livelier and friendlier place, but Paddington struggles to remain positive because the Browns are unable to prove his innocence despite their continuous efforts. Knuckles and two other prisoners, Phibs and Spoon, later tell Paddington that although the Browns mean well, they will eventually forget about him.

Becoming convinced that Buchanan is the culprit, Mary and Henry Brown search for the stolen book inside his house. They find a secret attic where Buchanan's various costumes are stashed, including the disguise he wore to steal the book. However, the Browns' investigation cause them to forget to attend the prison's monthly visiting day, causing Paddington to believe the Browns have forgotten about him.

Paddington joins Knuckles, Phibs and Spoon in a prison escape. They promise to aid in proving Paddington's innocence, but after escaping, they promptly abandon the idea in order to flee the country, inviting Paddington to join them. Paddington declines, feeling betrayed by Knuckles. While avoiding the police, Paddington uses a public telephone to contact the Browns, who tell him Buchanan is the real culprit. To catch Buchanan, they arrange to meet at Paddington station, where a carnival train carrying the hidden fortune is due to leave.

Paddington reaches the station and boards the train immediately before it leaves. The Browns arrive shortly afterward and use a LNER Peppercorn Class A1 to pursue the carnival train. Buchanan finds the hidden fortune, but Paddington thwarts him. Henry, Judy and Mrs Bird board the carnival train to confront Buchanan, who overpowers them and escapes. Buchanan severs the coupling of the train's caboose after locking Paddington inside it. However, Judy photographs Buchanan holding the book, and Henry subsequently knocks him unconscious.

Paddington is still trapped in the rear carriage when it derails and crashes into a nearby river. Mary tries to rescue Paddington, but struggles to open the locked carriage. Knuckles, Phibs, and Spoon arrive and help Mary save Paddington.

Paddington falls into a coma, but wakes up on Lucy's birthday to find himself at home. He learns that he has been exonerated, Buchanan has been arrested, and the book has been taken by the police as evidence of Buchanan's crimes. Although Paddington is disappointed that he cannot give Lucy the book, he discovers that the Browns and their neighbours arranged for Lucy to visit London herself. Opening the front door to her, Paddington hugs Lucy and wishes her a happy birthday.

Knuckles, Phibs and Spoon are pardoned, and Knuckles opens a sandwich restaurant, which becomes incredibly successful. Buchanan is sentenced to ten years in prison. Six months later, he is shown to be putting his experience as a performer to further use by performing elaborate musical numbers with the other prisoners.

Cast

[edit]

Production

[edit]

In April 2015, David Heyman, the producer of Paddington (2014), confirmed that a sequel was in development.[7] It was also announced that Paul King would return to direct, and co-write the screenplay with Simon Farnaby.[8] Heyman's Heyday Films, and StudioCanal, produced the film, making it a British-French co-production.[9] By October 2016, most of the cast of Paddington—Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi, Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, Ben Whishaw and Imelda Staunton—were confirmed to be returning for the sequel, joined by Hugh Grant and Brendan Gleeson.[10] Grant described his character as "enormously vain and narcissistic".[11]

Principal photography began on 18 October.[10][12] Many of the domestic interiors were filmed on stages at Pinewood Studios and Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, but producers also shot at key central London locations like Tower Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral. Jonah Coombes, supervising location on both Paddington and the sequel, stated, “We were looking for locations that celebrated London and delivered the kind of cinematic scale we were looking for.”[13] Framestore provided the visual effects for the film,[14] including the elaborate pop-up book sequence.[15] On 7 February 2017, filming featured in the CBBC documentary series All Over the Workplace.[16] Filming took place in London's Little Venice for three days,[17] and also at Shepton Mallet Prison[18] and Knebworth Park.[19] Craig Revel Horwood choreographed the prison dance scene. Principal photography wrapped on 27 June 2017. Michael Bond, the creator of Paddington Bear, died the same day, and the film was dedicated to him.[20]

Soundtrack

[edit]
Main article: Paddington 2 (soundtrack)

The music of the film was composed by Dario Marianelli.[21]

Additional music in the film, not included on the soundtrack recording, includes "Rain on the Roof" (Stephen Sondheim) – Hugh Grant, which is performed during the end credits.[22]

Release

[edit]

Paddington 2 had its world premiere in London on 5 November 2017,[23] and was theatrically released in the United Kingdom on 10 November.[24] It was released on 6 December in France, 7 December in Germany, 21 December in Australia and New Zealand,[9] and 12 January 2018 in the United States.[25]

Distribution

[edit]

StudioCanal distributed Paddington 2 in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.[9]

Paddington 2 was originally planned to be distributed by The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films in the United States through their sub-label, TWC-Dimension, as the first film was. However, following the sexual abuse allegations against Weinstein Company founder Harvey Weinstein in October 2017, Heyday Films and StudioCanal severed ties because they believed that a film for children should not be associated with the Weinstein scandal.[26][27] In mid-November 2017, Warner Bros. Pictures, which distributed Heyday's Harry Potter films and was already distributing the Paddington films in Spain, acquired the film's North American distribution rights for $32 million (£24 million). Warner Bros. also gained the right of first refusal to distribute future Paddington films in North America,[28] though it was later rescinded when it was announced that the third film would be distributed by Sony Pictures in that region.[29]

Marketing

[edit]

From 9 October 2017, five pop-up installations of Paddington's pop-up book, featured in the film, were placed around London, at Peter's Hill, Tower Bridge, Paddington Station, Peninsula Square and Bankside. The event was promoted by Visit London.[30][31] The launch was attended by Hugh Bonneville and Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.[32]

On 16 October 2017, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge attended a Paddington 2 charity event at Paddington Station, along with some of the cast and crew of the film.[33] A video game based on the film, Paddington Run, was released on iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices on 25 October 2017.[34][35]

On 26 October 2017, it was announced that Paddington would appear in the 2017 Marks & Spencer Christmas advertisement.[36] A teaser was released on 4 November 2017. The advertisement itself was released on 7 November 2017 and had its television premiere on the Pride of Britain Awards 2017. Whishaw returned to voice Paddington, with the advertisement also featuring Mark Benton and Angela Rippon.[37][38]

Home media

[edit]

Paddington 2 was released on streaming platform Amazon Video on 5 March 2018. The film was released in the United Kingdom on Blu-ray, DVD & 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on 12 March 2018.[39] The film was released on Blu-ray and DVD in the United States on 24 April 2018 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.[citation needed]

Reception

[edit]

Box office

[edit]

Paddington 2 grossed $40.9 million in the United States and Canada, and $186.4 million in other countries (including $59.4 million in the United Kingdom), for a worldwide total of $227.3 million.[5]

In its first weekend in the United Kingdom, the film grossed $10.9 million (£8.3 million), more than the first film ($8/£6 million), becoming StudioCanal's highest-grossing film opening weekend in the United Kingdom to date.[40] In its second weekend, the film dropped 20% and grossed another $8.8 million (£6.6 million).[41]

In the United States and Canada, Paddington 2 was released alongside the openings of The Commuter and Proud Mary, as well as the wide expansion of The Post, and was projected to gross $15–17 million from 3,702 theatres in opening weekend.[42] It made $2.4 million on its first day and $11 million over the weekend (including $15 million over the four-day Martin Luther King Jr. weekend), finishing 7th at the box office, and marking a near-50% decline from the opening of the first film.[4] It made $8 million in its second weekend, dropping 27% and finishing 6th.[43]

Critical response

[edit]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Paddington 2 has an approval rating of 99% based on 253 reviews, with an average rating of 8.7/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Paddington 2 honours its star's rich legacy with a sweet-natured sequel whose adorable visuals are matched by a story perfectly balanced between heartwarming family fare and purely enjoyable all-ages adventure."[44] On 18 January 2018, it became the most-reviewed film ever to remain at 100% on the site, with 164 positive reviews, beating Toy Story 2, which had 163 positive reviews at the time.[45] Lady Bird had previously beaten the record the past November, but registered a negative review at 196.[46] In 2021, the 100% score for Citizen Kane (1941), often regarded as the greatest film ever made, was changed to 99% following the inclusion of an 80-year-old negative review; some publications satirically labelled Paddington 2 as a better film than Citizen Kane due to their respective scores.[47][48][49] In May 2021, Paddington 2's score dropped to 99% after a negative review by Eddie Harrison was registered on the site.[50]

On Metacritic, another review aggregator, the film has a weighted average score of 88 out of 100 based on 38 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[51] On French entertainment information publisher AlloCiné, the film has an average grade of 4.0/5 based on 22 critics.[52] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, the same score earned by its predecessor.[4]

Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Paddington 2 won't save the world, sadly, but its existence makes everything just that tiny bit better and more, well, bearable."[1] Guy Lodge of Variety wrote, "Another near pawfect family entertainment, honouring the cosy, can-do spirit of Michael Bond's stories while bringing them smoothly into a bustling, diverse 21st century London—with space for some light anti-Brexit subtext to boot."[53] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian wrote, "The film is pitched with insouciant ease and a lightness of touch at both children and adults without any self-conscious shifts in irony or tone: it's humour with the citrus tang of top quality thick-cut marmalade."[54] In 2019, The Guardian ranked Paddington 2 the 69th best film of the 21st century.[55]

Main article: Paddington in Peru

In June 2016, StudioCanal CEO Didier Lupfer stated that the studio was committed to making a third Paddington film.[85] In November 2017, David Heyman told Digital Spy that though the script for a third film had not been developed, discussions about locations, ideas and scenes had already begun.[86] In November 2018, Heyman noted that a third film was likely to happen, but that Paul King would not be back to direct due to him working on Wonka, though he would still be involved in a prominent creative capacity.[87] In February 2021, Paddington 3 officially began development.[88]

In July 2021, StudioCanal announced that Paddington 3 will begin shooting in the first quarter of 2022. The story for the third film was written by Paul King, Simon Farnaby, and Mark Burton, and the screenplay by Burton, Jon Foster and James Lamont.[89] In June 2022, the film's title Paddington in Peru and Dougal Wilson as director were announced, with principal photography now set to begin 2023.[90] In April 2023, it was confirmed Paddington in Peru would start filming on 24 July.[91] In May 2023, at the Cannes film festival, Sony Pictures confirmed they had acquired the North American distribution rights for the third film.[29] In June 2023, Olivia Colman and Antonio Banderas joined the cast as newcomers, while Emily Mortimer was announced to replace Sally Hawkins as Mrs. Brown.[92] Filming commenced in the United Kingdom on 24 July 2023.[93]

In the 2022 film, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Nicolas Cage (playing a fictionalised version of himself) watches Paddington 2 for the first time whilst bonding with another character, Javi (Pedro Pascal), who says the film "made him want to be a better man". Whilst at first being sceptical, Cage subsequently falls in love with the film.
