Incredible movies, especially the second one. Very charming and heartwarming, well-written and acted, plus an important pro-immigrant subtext that elevates them to a higher level.
I actually just watched these two for the first time right now... still on the second. So far they're good, wholesome family movies that genuinely make me laugh. Very cool.
Paddington the only British CGI talking cartoon of this decade you should trust. Fuck that amoral Peter Rabbit bullshit that tells children to murder their friends with food allergies or whatever. Everyone who saw the first Peter Rabbit should feel a deep sense of shame. The trailer for Peter Rabbit 2 before Little Women annoyed me so much.
They're both gold. I remember seeing the trailer for the first one and cringing. It looked like the typical awful CG kids movie. But my daughter kept bugging me to rent it, so I did, and was absolutely happy watching it. The second is stellar, too.
