More than 40 years ago, a British explorer found a kind of jam bear in the Peruvian jungle. They are very friendly and have a great talent for language and can communicate with humans. They got along for a while, and the explorer told them many stories of London, telling them that London was a very friendly city. Then he left, saying he would always welcome them if they came to London. When he said goodbye, he left his hat to them.
One day, forty years later, the oranges of an orange tree planted by the jam bears were ripe, and they happily made a lot of jam. They are still discussing going to London to find an explorer. The two old bears feel that their body is not suitable for long-distance travel. The little bear said that he thinks the forest is the best home, and he does not want to go anywhere.
That's when an earthquake struck and their home was destroyed, and Pastuso the old bear was killed in the earthquake. A grieving Lucy was planning to spend the rest of her life in a nursing home. She said Bear had to find a new home, so she took him by boat to London. They believe that people in London will be as friendly as the explorers say and will give it a warm home.
But the reality is different from the imagination. People in London don't wear hats or take off their hats to greet people. Pedestrians passed by in a hurry, indifferent and alienated, and it didn't seem strange to even see a real bear infested. No one cared to say hello to it, no one stopped for it. Later, a family of four passed by. The woman, Mary, passed by and then returned to inquire about the little bear, begging her husband to allow her to take the little bear home, so that he would not live on the streets. The next day, he would find the relevant government department for resettlement. He said it was only for one night. Mary is a fairy tale writer who is full of concern and curiosity about bears.
The little bear has a human name Paddington, but because he is not familiar with human life, he keeps making troubles, making the house in a mess, and it is simply the scene of a disaster. Henry, the host, said angrily that he would send him away as soon as possible. He said that having a bear at home was fun, but without safety, such fun was meaningless. Mary wants to help Paddington find the explorer, and they come to an antique hat shop and find clues. But the Explorers Association didn't have any information about the Explorer and the Jam Bear.
Meanwhile, Millie, a taxidermist at the Natural History Museum, is looking for Jam Bear to taxidermy. Unexpectedly, she was the explorer's daughter. At that time, he brought back the information of the jam bear, and others were going to find it to make a specimen. He was determined not to say the whereabouts of the jam bear, so he was eliminated by the Explorers Association and expelled from all the information. The irony is that his daughter thinks the exact opposite and he wants to kill the cub and taxidermise it.
Paddington felt guilty after causing trouble for the Browns, so he ran away and found himself on the streets. Before, Mary helped him collect people with the same surname as the explorer. When his family knocked on the door to ask questions, he simply threw himself into the trap and sent himself to the taxidermist. In the nick of time, the Browns came to rescue it.
Henry, who had initially strongly opposed taking him in, said at this time: What does it matter if it came from the other side of the world. What if it was another species. So what if it has a weird marmalade fetish. We all love Paddington, it's our family. The family should be united, if you want its life, step over our corpse first. In the end, they worked together to rescue the little bear and became a family.
When he first arrived in London, Paddington wrote to Lucy: We think the place under the ceiling is home, but the body has come, the soul has not. He also said: A young explorer, in an unfamiliar land, must find his way. Now it finally has a warm home. He said: "Everyone is different in London, but it also means that anyone can integrate into London.
I feel that the movie emphasizes too much family affection and weakens the fun. There is also the little bear who wanted to find a home, but did not want to live alone, so he was ignored at first, and later when he was rejected by Henry, he felt very lost and sad. If he has the idea of finding a home, exploring alone, and living on his own, what does it matter if the world is friendly or not?
