Paddington, directed by Paul King in 2014, is based on the beloved children’s character created by Michael Bond. It tells the story of Paddington Bear, voiced by Ben Whishaw, who finds himself in London, a fish out of water. However, he’s not just any bear – he’s a bear with a love for marmalade and a heart full of kindness. His adventures begin when a chance encounter with Mary Brown, played by Sally Hawkins, leads him to find a temporary home with her warm-hearted family.

What makes Paddington such a delightful choice for post-Thanksgiving viewing is its perfect blend of humor, heart, and charm. The film doesn’t just follow a formula; it embraces it wholeheartedly, delivering joke after joke and detail after detail that will have both kids and adults laughing and smiling throughout. Beyond the laughs, Paddington also delves into deeper themes of belonging and the importance of caring for one another, making it a truly enriching viewing experience.
