Paddington won twenty fourteen surprise hit, 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.240 should we say the surprise hit of twenty fourteen definitely, 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:36.280 with a wonderful cast including Hugh Bonville, Sally Hawkins as 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:40.560 Mary Brown, not returning for the third movie, Sadly, Sadly, Sadly, 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:44.440 Jim BROADBN Slate. Michael Gambona is the voice of Uncle 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:51.280 Pastouoso and of course the voice of Paddington, the wonderful, comforting, 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.200 soft as a blanket voice of Ben Wishaw, who I 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.680 think this way, he might be more famous for this 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.600 than anything that he's ever done, would you say. 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:01.080 So, Q? 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.040 Maybe? Q maybe. 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.400 But it's also extremely funny because we also recently were 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.240 just talking about Black Doves, where he's like a really 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:10.760 sassy up front, like. 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.680 Very explicitly adult murderer. 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.560 Yeah. And there was a great present of you where 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.760 I think Kiera Knightley didn't know he was Paddington and 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.960 that was just hilarious. But yes, this is likely his 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.480 most famous casting. And also I would say wonderful casting 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.760 because this is like a Ben Schwartz as sonic kind 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.760 of level where you just feel like they understood what 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:35.440 they were doing. 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.959 He brings like a level of emotion to the line 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.720 readings that the innocence that Paddington has, but also at 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:46.880 the right moments, like a sadness that's just fucking devastating. Like, yeah, 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:51.040 the character design is so good, and I think part 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.280 of what makes these movies so good is they know, okay, 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.920 we really need to take up the emotional steaks up 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.760 a notch. Let's just do a close up of Paddington's face. 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.320 Yeah, exactly, and also the same if he's going to 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.919 get into like crazy trouble, because a lot of these 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.480 movies are like, it's Paddington and he doesn't know how 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:13.440 a bath works. Might sound very silly, but I do 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:17.679 think that combination of kind of broad physical comedy, emotional 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:22.639 heart and just like an absolute murderous row of fantastic 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:28.440 British actors really do make these incredibly incredibly unique. 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.920 Okay, So we open in the Jungles the Darkest Peru, 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:39.240 where an explorer from London encounters this family of intelligent bears. 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.000 These explorers have been going all around the world and 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.600 like categorizing animals and taking samples back, and he finds 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.800 these bears to be absolutely fascinating. So he teaches them 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.520 about England and Britain and the culture there, and tells 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.440 them a bunch of fanciful facts about him. 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.240 He is a bit of a colonizer, his energy is 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:04.120 like he's going spreading. He's not only going there as 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.200 an anthropologist, which we all know is a dangerous thing 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.720 to come to your country, but also he is telling 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:14.960 fanciful stories like this is not a true representation of London. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.960 Clearly believing that these bears will never make their way 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:20.760 to London. So you could kind of like spin a 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.680 yarn that said, this is also the listen. This is 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.560 Paddington is expressly a story about colonization and I think 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.560 immigration kind of like framing it in the in the 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.839 most positive way in that, you know, the ultimate messages 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.920 just because people are different, don't judge them for that, 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:41.880 take them as they are, and in fact they might 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.279 you might find that their presence here in your world 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.159 is actually incredibly beneficial in ways that you could never imagine. 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.920 That's It's also a story about how there are unexpected 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:57.000 consequences to colonizing a place and repercussions that one could 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.000 never understand, and one of them is these these bears 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:05.560 become fascinated with England, and then an earthquake strikes, sadly 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:10.120 devastating the home of the bears, forcing the At this point, 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.000 probably like ninety five year old ninety six year old 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:17.440 and Lucy to send her a young nephew, Paddington to 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.280 London because there everyone gets a home. It's gonna be fine. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.400 Everybody gets a home and all you need is you 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:29.080 just need a mamalade sandwich, which the Explorer also introduced. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.720 And currently the bad does not have a name, but 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.400 we know that he's Paddington because Michael Bond has been 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.360 telling these stories for many years. 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.560 Many many years, since the forties and the fifties. Yeah, 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:43.440 so here. So Paddington arrives at Paddington Station, which from 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.440 which he will soon get his name, with a note 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.520 around his next saying please look after this bear. You know, 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.360 people just kind of ignore this very startling site, which 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.840 I which is shy them up, which is kind of 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.880 the charm of Paddington is like, oh okay, that's normal. 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:00.320 That's a very normal thing to see. 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.599 It's that mentality of like the New Yorkers who like 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.440 wouldn't look twice at the Avengers. It's like that, but 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:10.039 it's London. It's like everyone's just it's rush hour Paddington station. 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.800 Everyone just wants to go. They seem to think he's 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:17.680 some kind of street performer. They're just not interested. However, 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.839 a certain family comes along and that changes all the Browns. 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.760 Yes, so there is mister Brown dad, played wonderfully by 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:31.800 Hugh bon Phil of Doubton Abbey, and it's the agency fame. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.640 He is, you know, don't talk to that bear, what 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.000 does he want? He'll be fine, don't worry about him. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.120 Feels funny. He's might be dangerous, you know, he might 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.640 be dangerous. And his wife, Missus Brown, is like, no, 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.080 but this is so sad, and she reads the note. 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:48.840 It's like we must do something. He's like, no, no, no, 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:53.200 don't worry. So eventually she convinces him to take Paddington 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.280 to their home where Paddington, you know, struggles with being 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:02.440 in a urban home environment. A upper middle class, what 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:07.400 would say, even wealthy. Here's the thing about a fantastical 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.160 version love. This is a rich fucking family. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.640 You can even imagine First of all, where they they 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.320 say they live in notting Hill, right, that's like where 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.920 this is kind of set in general, and they do 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.480 a great job of kind of representing the most eclectic 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.040 and eccentric parts of London. 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.040 But yeah, I mean this is like a ten million 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:30.000 dollar house. They live in. 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.680 Yeah, this is like a t a million dollar house. 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.280 And the best thing is the mom is like an artist. 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.600 She's kind of like an illustrator for romance. 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:39.000 Novels, I think. 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.240 So the house is just painted in the most kind 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:47.600 of cozy, outrageous like flowers on the wall, and I 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.760 do think that part of the appeal of this franchise 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.640 is just how gorgeously kind of comforting. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.120 The whole thing is Paddington doesn't have to deal with. 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.000 Much stress outside of like not knowing at this point, 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.200 not knowing like how to use a bath as we mentioned, 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.520 which is a very famous and hilarious scene. 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:12.160 I cut the iconic scene from Paddington. He's he's struggling 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.800 to use the bathtub. He overfills, it floods the bathroom, 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.200 the water bursts out of the door, and Paddington goes 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:24.320 to bogganing down the beautiful spiral staircase. Again, this is 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:29.280 a this is a looking beautiful sea house, beautiful home, 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.640 goes spiraling down the staircase in this bathtub with a 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:38.240 look of innocent surprise on its beautiful, cute little face. 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.560 And somehow he doesn't get kicked out, Like that's the. 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.240 Power sorry about the bathroom. I'm so sorry, I'm so 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.800 sorry about the flood, and he's so anomalate sandwich. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.280 He does a really good I think one of my 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.240 favorite things about that scene is it's like. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.800 A Rube Goldberg machine. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.440 It's like he complishes teeth and then he falls down 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.960 here and then and it becomes this kind of hilarious situation. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:04.040 And obviously mister Brown is understandably skeptical about keeping the 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:04.959 bat in the house. 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.720 So Paddington's mission becomes locating the explorer who came to 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.280 visit them, whose hat he wears, and who he hopes 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:18.080 might have some sort of answers about a permanent place 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.400 where he can live forever, a home for himself that 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.360 he might find, and the Browns help him with this, 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.760 although mister Brown somewhat disgruntily, but the kids Jonathan Judy 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.920 do it with much more alacrity. Meanwhile, Paddington's arrival in 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:40.400 London has not gone unnoticed, notably by Millicent, who is 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.960 the villain of the story. She is a taxidermist. She 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.960 loves stuffing animals and people. Maybe we need to find 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.000 it out later, potentially if they get it away and 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:58.480 it really bothers her that years ago her ancestor returned 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:03.160 from the the deepest, darkest jungles of Peru without a specimen, 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:08.960 and she would like to rectify that situation by capturing Paddington, 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:12.679 killing him and stuffing him, which is horrendous, yes. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.679 Very mean. Paddington is delightful and also I want to say, guys, 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.360 Melicin is played by none other than Nicole Kidman, and 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.760 what I would say is one of the kind of 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:27.480 turning point weird roles of catapulted her to where we 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.400 get baby girl Like this is such an over the top, 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:34.200 fantastic kind of Bond villain role for her, and she's 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:35.120 so much fun in it. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.600 She is wonderful in it. So Paddington finds out that 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:45.559 the explorer is Montgomery Clyde and that he was shunned 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:50.160 by the Explorers group that he was a part of 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:56.720 because this group of very upright and fancy looters that 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.080 went around the world just kind of marauding and looting 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.360 and grabbing things. Bringing him back to jolly ol England 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.160 when he ran into these bears, you know, they were civilized, 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.000 they spoke, they were clearly intelligent and sent me in 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.120 beings they are wonderful. We just like to hang out 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:15.240 and beat marmalade and to waylay one and put it 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.000 in a cage and drag it back to England. That 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:22.120 seemed frankly to be barbaric. However, the scientific community of 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:26.480 his day, or like one, talking bears, get the fight. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.679 We don't believe this. This is ridiculous, like what you're 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.440 talking about. And two, you know the rules. You got 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.120 to bring back the specimen. Where's the specimen? And so 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:38.880 they shun him. Paddington reaches a low moment, feeling like 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.800 he's causing so much trouble for the Browns and their 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.640 home and all this trouble with the Finding Explorer and 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:48.480 destroying their ten million dollar home with two or three 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.360 million dollars worth of water damage, amongst many other things 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:55.360 that have occurred, and he feels like, Okay, I'm going 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.320 to go out on my own. I'm going to go 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.440 look for the explore Montgomery Clyde on my own, and 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.120 I'm going to leave the Browns behind. He leaves them 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:06.160 a very heartfelt note that tugs at the heartstrings. The kids, 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.959 Missus Brown are absolutely fucking devastated at this. Mister Brown 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.760 is like well, okay, there's a big he's a bear 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.520 from the jungle, like, you'll, don't worry about it. 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:19.079 I've spent a. 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.800 Lot of time trying to figure out how exactly long 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.679 Paddington was on his own, and I think it was 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:24.200 a while. 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.120 I really was quite a while. Yeah, from from the 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.040 way the movie is for sure. 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.320 Because there's a month. There's an entire montage in which 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:38.440 you see all the addresses and places that Paddington found, 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.920 you know, from the phone book of listenings from Montgomery Clyde, 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:43.640 and he crosses them all out, and there's you know, 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.560 maybe a dozen or so or a little less than 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.040 a dozen something around there. And let's say he did 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.400 like one a night or one every couple of nights. 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.480 That's all of a sudden, he's out there a week 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.400 and a half, two weeks on his own, living by 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.000 his wits in the alleyways and the streets. It made 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.640 me very, very sad. This is a movie where watching it, 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.240 I could tell that when I was a kid, I 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.720 would have needed a parent figure to lean over to 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.640 me and be like, it's gonna don't worry about yeah, 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.560 it's gonna be okay, Because I would have been very 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.560 troubled at the idea that Paddington was just like out 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.040 on the streets for weeks. M Well, the Browns now 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:25.480 find that though their house is severely damaged, it's also 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.640 less lively without Patton. 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.880 Because you don't have a talking bear in your house anymore. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:31.800 That's magical. 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.480 I'm sorry, guys. 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.400 There's something of the light has gone out of the 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.760 home somehow, and so they decide we must find Paddington, 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.000 who has by this time fallen into the clutches of 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.240 milicit who again plans to stuff and there's a wonderful 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:51.199 adventure sequence. They find her in the Natural History Museum. Paddington, 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.320 who is quite naive and innocent at times, but he's 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:58.040 also quite He's a survivor, and he's very very He 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.839 manages to escape and they ultimately defeat of Millicent, who 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.120 is arrested for her crime. She only gets community service, 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.400 which is fine. I guess you know what. She didn't 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.880 threaten to kill the Browns and Paddington. 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.480 But I will say this, but you know I will 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.680 say this is this does start a thread that will 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.920 continue to the second movie of these films, being like 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.160 relatively interesting when it comes to the idea of crime 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:24.440 and punishment. 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:30.440 Prison reform, Paddington, Yes, the prison Passington. So the end 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.880 of this, oh I should add that there is in 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.800 the confrontation scene, as we're kind of ramping up to 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:42.040 the final exciting sequence after which Milicent will be defeated, 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:48.440 mister Brown gives an incredible speech that he ya fucking 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:53.120 sells all the way about. And the speech is really 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.040 ultimately the message of the film, because I think part 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.280 of part of what's so great about Paddington is it's 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:04.000 basically about an Englishman who doesn't like people or beings 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:09.359 from other places coming to England and living and ultimately 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.320 mister Brown decides, you know what, that's not true. Paddington 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.160 is a bear, but he's part of this family and 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.000 I love him and he has added so much to 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.800 our lives even though he's different. And he gives this 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.720 wonderful speech about that and how they're going to defend Paddington. 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.040 And so the end of the movie is a wonderful, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:32.080 like three four minute sequence that plays out very much 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.600 is shot very much like a book in which Paddington 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:39.680 has found his home, his his forever home really with 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.160 the Browns, and there he is in the kitchen cooking 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:48.320 up marmalade, Missus Brown wonderfully. He's like, what are you doing? Padding? 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.080 What's cooking Paddington? What do you think? It's fucking marmalade? 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.640 What the fuck do you think it's all I eat? 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.120 Is Marvela's marmalay? 0:15:58.320 --> 0:15:58.480 Oh. 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.360 Actually, also perfect time to bring up the fact that. 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:05.600 In that very same Karen Knightley interview where he revealed 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:09.600 he was Paddington, then, as Aaron pointed out, ben wishe 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:14.680 Olster revealed he doesn't like mamalade. It's just to yourself, babe. 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:18.360 It's very sweet. And at the end of that close 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.320 Paddington writes to his beloved aunt Lucy, telling her that 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:26.520 while London is very different from Peru, he's getting the 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.680 hang of it now and he feels like he has 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.440 a place and it's wonderful and let's talk for a 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.880 little bit about what we say. I think this movie 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.680 is one of the great children's movies of our time. 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.280 I agree, And it's just so special, like it hits 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.120 all the notes that you need from a kid's film. 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.440 It works for adults on various levels because of the 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:53.200 deeper messaging, the fact that the Paddington series is one 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.880 hundred years old, almost one hundred years old at this point, 0:16:55.920 --> 0:17:01.720 so it's got generations of fans. And for kids, it's emotional, 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:06.440 deeply emotional, but it's not too intense. They are always 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.240 these moments where they return to Paddington's faces if to 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.320 tell you it's gonna be fine, like they always do, 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.200 like a thing, Yeah, first kind of scary thing where 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.480 it doesn't get too scary and you realize by the 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.560 way they shoot Paddington it's gonna be okay. 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:21.280 Yeah. 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.920 It's feel very emotionally like intense, and also you feel 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:26.439 it deeply. 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:30.080 I think that something that makes these movies really stand 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.399 out is if we think about the way that kids 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.560 films and TV. I almost said content. I'm trying to 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.240 train myself out of that word. But like the way 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:42.080 that people make entertainment for kids. There has always been nuance, 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.520 fantastic entertainment for kids. But when we think about a 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:48.480 contemporary reboot of an existing character, because there's already Paddington books, 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.520 Paddington animated series, all that kind of stuff, we think 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:52.440 about something like. 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.040 The Garfield movie with Chris Pratt. 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:58.080 That like nobody really watched and it changed everything about Garfield. 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.920 He's no longer lazy. He doesn't like Lazanne. Now he's 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.600 like a street smart cat, you know whatever. 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.120 But like I think a lot of people were surprised 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.280 because this movie kind of came out of nowhere and 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:13.560 it had a wit and a charm and a world. 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:14.480 That you wanted to live in. 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.320 And like you said, the way they shoot Paddington makes 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:22.040 you feel like he's really there, that the Assing team 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:26.600 are unbelievable. You never ever question anything that you're seeing 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:30.639 on screen. I would say this is the way they utilize. 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.200 And immerse you in the world. 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.000 Means there's not even really a suspension of disbelief. You 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:35.919 just feel like Paddington is a real character. 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:37.040 Then you want to meet him. 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.679 He's great, he's there, wonderful. 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:43.080 And I do think this this movie went relatively under 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.879 the radar. It was it was a quiet film. It 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.520 was a quiet film, but it was pretty successful. There 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.159 was a lot of nominations in England. It won Best 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.760 Comedy Film at the Empire Awards. If you're a film lover, 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:59.520 you probably know Empire Magazine. The Bafter Children's Awards, it 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.879 won Best Feature Film and it was kind of but 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.120 still it was like it made its money back, made 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.600 enough that there would be a sequel. But it was 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.520 not necessarily a cultural phenomenon. It was more something that 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.960 you discovered. I discovered it when I moved here actually, 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:15.920 which was like two years after. 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:16.240 It came out. 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.720 Same I discovered it about a year later when it 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:22.200 was when people why trust it would be like, it 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:23.880 is really good, that's. 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.239 Really good, Like you gotta watch this. This is like 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:30.600 some cozy vibe, you know what. It definitely I think 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:31.400 that it was. 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.199 It was an entertainment weekly where they basically compared it 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.359 to like a Muppets movie, but in the style of 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:39.480 Where's Anderson? 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:43.640 And I loved that much. I was very mad cap, 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:45.159 very charming. 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:50.640 It's an ensemble piece, and it was just a delightful movie. 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.280 I am a big fan of it. I was very 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:52.879 happy when. 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.760 We started talking about these movies because we're covering them 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:57.400 in the lead up to the third one, which comes 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.960 out in America on Valentine's. 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:01.600 And it did it exactly. 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.000 He's back and he's imparing baby. 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:08.040 I think it's very unique to find someone else and 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:12.280 this just goes along with our eternal gift and struggle 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:13.080 that we agree. 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.359 With everything about everything together. 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.600 But yes, it's actually very bad to find someone who 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.080 thinks this movie is better. I do love this movie, 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.520 and I do think it is the better movie. But 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:28.080 Paddington Too was a cultural phenomenon. And we'll be talking 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.480 about Paddington Too in a moment after. 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:38.080 It worked from those sponsors. 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:51.639 Okay, we're back to discuss the action packed whoat music 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:56.560 two musical, I mean they bring they throw a lot 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:57.640 of things at you. 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.280 In Paddington Too, which came out in twenty seven teen, 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:04.320 written again and directed by Paul King with some writing 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:08.920 help by Simon Farnabye, the your original cast is back 0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:13.040 with the addition of the wonderful Hugh Grant, who is 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:16.719 this was like as a villain? 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:21.920 People were really talking about a Hugh Grant oscar run 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:26.119 for this one. It's wonderful the Oscars represented the general 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:28.720 film going audience a little bit more that might have happened. 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.760 And also this is the start of Hugh Grant in 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:35.680 his villain era, which he is now embracing with roles 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:39.800 Imprestige TV, obviously most recently the a twenty four horror 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:43.879 movie Heretic, And it is just such a delight to 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.199 see him here. We also get another legendary actor in 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:51.520 Brendan Gleeson, who dislike. 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:54.520 For roles in this film. 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:58.399 And yeah, this was a movie that I saw legitimately 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:04.040 take over film with film critic spaces and just bought 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:05.680 a lot of people a lot of joy. And that's 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.720 the point of Paddington. So I yeah, I love this 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:09.280 movie too. 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:14.480 So Paddington when we open the film, is quite settled 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.159 in in notting Hill, not just with the Browns, but 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:20.640 in the surrounding neighborhood where everybody loves to see him. 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:23.879 People love to talk to him, people love when he 0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:27.439 shows up. He's feeding a stray dog in the alley. 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:30.440 He's having a grand all time, and he is part 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:35.560 of the community. He's writing to his aunt every day. 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.040 She's about to turn a hundred, which is a big 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:42.080 deal for a bear. He funnily thinks mister Brown might 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:49.080 be eighty, considering his aunt is one hundred and so 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.440 he's thinking about a gift for her. And when he 0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:55.359 goes to a neighbor's antique shop, he finds this beautiful, 0:22:56.600 --> 0:23:03.920
