Paddington (2014)

20180129:
The film was full of good laughs and I enjoyed the story. Overall, Paddington was a charming movie. I would highly recommend it as a family movie.

Paddington (voiced by Ben Whishaw) and Mary Brown (Sally Hawkins)

Netflix determined the movie for me as a 96% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.

2: I was exercising and didn't catch why Uncle [Pastuzo] just stood there [one answer I found said he got stuck]
2: huh it didn't look as though that many jars fit in the suitcase.
2: no one is alarmed by a bear (in train station)
1: The "Lost" light [~12 minute mark]
1: "Stranger danger. Keep your eyes down, there's some sort of bear."
1: The "Found" light illuminates [~13 minute mark, after Mary approaches him]
2: right above his head: Paddington.
2: oh yeah, I forgot that there were villains in this movie (Nicole Kidman)
2: interesting, she is knowledgeable of such a bear who loves marmalade
2: smile "he is now"
2: Jim Broadbent

Henry Brown (Hugh Bonneville), Jonathan brown (Samuel Joslin), and Judy Brown (Madeleine Harris)

2: hehe the license plate is CABBIE (or similar)
2: I forgot thus but about their father having a different personailty prior to birth of his children
2: Nicole Kidman as this villain is great. it's evil but not overly dark.
2: hahaha "I had it lasered"
2: "and the arms grown back"
2: hahaha "nothing"
2: that one guard was so nice, allowed Paddington shelter from rain and offered sandwich, dessert, and drinks
2: hahaha! "...and he's a bear." "it's not much to go on"
2: he just brings around the chemistry set hehe
2: I love the aesthetic of each family member in a different height hole under the stairs

References Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

2: "and that someone is me" (his wife fills in the picture of the hero)
2: hmm the lockdown closed some windows but Mr. Brown was still able to re-enter
1: Lol. Reference to Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.
2: hehe vacumms and Mission Impossible theme song. likely they would run out of batteries like in the movie
2: hehe. Mrs. Bird arrives after the birds (pigeons)

Credits:
1: Imelda Staunton was the voice of Aunt Lucy
1: Michael Gambon was the voice of Uncle Pastuzo
1: It's interesting how Harry Potter exposed me to so many British actors and actresses. In addition to Staunton and Gambon, Julie Walters and Jim Broadbent were also in this film. At the time of this writing, however, Broadbent's role in the Harry Potter series does not make it to his "Known For" section on IMDb.

Millicent (Nicole Kidman)
