Fun fact about Nicole Kidman in this movie: she CHOSE to do this. What I mean by that is, there's a story her agent was going through potential roles for her, and completely skipped over this one assuming (like many) it'd be some stupid kid's movie nobody would care about or remember. Kidman got wind of this and IMMEDIATELY accepted the part, not caring what it was... the reason being she was a massive fan of the original 'Paddington' books when she was a child, and was ecstatic about getting to play a part in the film-adaptation. So while her acting isn't anything stellar, and her character is a pretty generic kid's movie villain, there is something kinda charming knowing she WANTED to be in this movie, this was like a dream-role for her, even if it didn't allow her to do much. You can easily imagine her turning up on set every day utterly giddy to start filming, and it's kind of adorable to think about.
@@twofacetoo75 There’s something charming and sweet about actor who wants to be in the wall because the stories from her childhood I mean who wouldn’t want to be part of a film or TV show about a story from their childhood? Even if it’s a minor wall I would love to be part of a Scooby Doo Fillmore episode even if I’m a background character myself
Fun Fact: Karen Jankel, daughter of Paddington's creator, Michael Bond, was almost moved to tears after the first screening she saw. "For me, it was bringing to life the bear that was so real to me. And I think they got it absolutely right."
As a Brit myself Ive always felt like the character of Paddington is one of the best things the UK has to offer the world and this movie is just one of those movies that remains to be a delightful and unapologetically wholesome ride and Im happy more and more people have seen it and the more successful the film series has become with the third movie already out now here in the UK. I honestly did not know the trailer was so bad for a lot of people? But if Transformers One has shown me anything, its not to judge a movie by a trailer too quickly, especially if that movie turns out to be really great
Fun Fact: The gentleman who raises his glass to Paddington during the taxi ride montage is Michael Bond, the writer of the original novels. He sadly passed on a few months before the sequel was released, though it's dedicated to his memory.
Another Fun Fact: The character of Paddington Bear is based on a lone teddy bear noticed by the author Michael Bond on a shelf in a London store near Paddington Station on Christmas Eve 1956. Bond bought it for his wife and was inspired to write a story. The outline of the lonely bear at Paddington Station was inspired by old newsreels showing trainloads of child evacuees leaving London during World War II with labels around their necks and their possessions in small suitcases.
He also took inspiration from Jewish kids leaving Czechoslovakia before the outbreak of World War II, it was the very transport where Nicholas Winton became the legendary HERO he will always be remembered for. 😢
I'm convinced by this story alone that there should be a movie about how the Paddington books was created and the final scene of this biopic would be Michael Bond's cameo in the first movie.
This time last year I considered crypto without much knowledge and decided to have a consultation with a fiduciary, and it was incredibly insightful. I got into the market with 15k, One year and a couple of months in, and I'm up with 550k. I truly cannot stress enough how helpful experts in this field are!
I'm new to cryptocurrency and don't understand how it really works. how Can someone know the right approach to investing and making good profits from cryptocurrency investments?
I can't believe I've been watching Nostalgia Critic for most of my life. AVGN shaped my taste in video games, Nostalgia Critic shaped my taste in movies, and Toddintheshadows shaped my taste in music. About to have my first child so I guess I've been looking back a bunch.
Paddington didn't even need to be a great film. It was enough just to have avoided the pitfalls of other attempts to bring classic characters to live-action, but the fact that it not only cleared that hurdle but managed to actually retain that since of charm that made it's source material so beloved in a miracle in and of itself.
It's obvious the film (and the sequel) are beloved here in the UK, so it was refreshing to see an American's take on it. Very pleased to see how much you guys enjoyed it as well!
I really like both Paddington movies. Very good. 10 /10. Saw the both of them when was able to rent them from family video. Sadly, the store is now closed. Ever since then, at least a couple years back or so.
Paddington was something my family enjoyed when I was a child. My grandparents often went to London, and Paddington gifts were common when they came back. We watched everything Paddington related when we could. Paddington is, in my opinion, the second best bear from fiction. When you consider that Winnie the Pooh is number one, second place is actually quite an accomplishment.
When you do Paddington 2 (because you have to now), you HAVE to include the clips of Pedro Pascal and Nicolas Cage from “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.” It’s honestly spot on.
Those trailers you are showing are actually camper-style motor homes: A Chassis-cab truck that has been converted into a full-time motor home, with a bed above the cab. A trailer would be towed behind it.
Man, a real missed opportunity to not bring back the" Bear" meme from...a very long time ago in that Alaska movie and the english Avengers but oh well.
The whole "trailer" segment is a bit maddening to me because most of the vehicles shown werent "trailers", but full on RVs which are self-propelled and thus not a trailer
@@Delundon Indeed. Even if a season was only 9 episodes of 20 minutes each, it would still be 3 hours per show. And then you have to do a bit of research on each episode, as well as write a commentary about it, then make the video. Waaay too big of a project for Disneycember.
I’m surprised how much I liked this movie when I first saw it. I didn’t think it was going to be good, and it completely subverted my expectations. I think the 2nd film was even better
Can't believe Doug got through this whole movie without pointing out how about half the cast from this film are also in Wonka! 🤣 Even more in the second film!
Thank you for reviewing this Nostalgia Critic. I never watched it in theaters because of that trailer. After watching your review, I finally watched Paddington and I loved it, so thank you for continuing to share the good word on this underrated movie.
I saw this film for the first time just a few months ago and i absolutely loved it. It was absolutely delightful and charming. My only problem is the tone changes seem to happen so quickly.. Like one scene will be so adorable with Paddington connecting with the family. And the next scene will be the villain hanging a man over the river, upside down trying to get info from him. Then when she gets the info... She cuts the rope dropping the guy into the water....
Another Fun Fact: Originally, author Michael Bond was nervous about the project of turning his character into a live-action movie. However, he was convinced after seeing half a minute of test footage.
Another Fun Fact: Hugh Bonneville considers the Paddington character to be "a part of the DNA of the U.K.," and therefore, he was nervous about joining the project: "I was very nervous when I first picked it up because I thought, 'I don't want my childhood being messed with.' He's a vivid character for so many people, certainly in Britain. So I was very nervous when I started reading, but within a page, I was laughing out loud and was reminded of all the charming innocence and the warmth that Michael Bond put on the page."
this movie is such a funny and underrated classic; i noticed the whole taxidermy part was a bit scary as a kid, mostly cuz of all the “stuffed animals,” but the comedy, acting, and cgi were surprisingly well done!
This movie is very wholesome like a Christmas movie, but isn’t officially a Christmas movie. While “Die Hard” was very violent, it was at least more Christmas related. To make up for it, please review “Violent Night” next week! ❤
Random fun fact: The actor for the villain's father, who was also the adventurer in the opening, is Tim Downie, a popular British comedian who is probably most known nowadays as Gale Dekarios in Baldur's Gate 3~
You gotta see Paddington 2. If you thought the first film was great, the second one is PHENOMENAL. It was literally number one on Rotten Tomatoes for a while!
Saw both movies on TV last year and they were delightfully british. As a Brit myself I can say that London isn't exactly as nice as depicted in these movies XD.
What’s really great about these films for British people is that basically every character is played by a comedian or sitcom actor. The guy who says ‘Police Bear’ is from Peep Show, the security guard was from Horrible Histories…
yup, Simon Farnaby was "Stupid Deaths" in Horrible Histories, and he was in BBC3's "Ghosts" as the spirit of deceased MP Julian Fawcett. 🎵 "Stupid Deaths! Stupid Deaths! They're funny cause they're true, WOO! Stupid Deaths! Stupid Deaths! Hope next time it's not you!" 🎵
In the family of awful trailers, there is another one : the trailers that entirely spoils the movie. I remember wanting to watch "Groundhog Day" and I just watched a trailer to know a bit more. It told the entire story (from him being an asshole to being stuck in time to him killing himself then trying to charm his colleague, etc). I hope the guys making the trailer didn't work on movies like "Sixth sense"...
Gotta love Peter Capaldi with his role as another grouch like with portrayal as the 12th Doctor or Especially with his role as Malcolm Tucker swearing like a sailor. Really wanted a random joke with an audio clip of Capaldi swearing to Paddington or something like that.
I remember my first time watching as a young teen. I had been watching a lot of seasons of Dr. Who. So when I saw Peter Capaldi, I was like "OH MY GOD, HOW DID HE GET THERE?!"
I’m curious why are the new reviews being filmed at Doug’s house instead of the studio? Was it because of the tornado last year or did they lose the space?
8:16 sometimes the limitation of a family friendly film can force people to be even more creative if they actually want to put effort into the story 22:34 so.... should we count into the spider-verse a christmas film? it was released on december, it even has a christmas song
Odd there seems to be a decent amount of former Doctor Who actors in this movie, Peter Capaldi obviously but the cab driver played Nardole towards the end of Capaldi's run and it wouldn't surprise me if I missed one or two more
You missed one, which is Paddington’s uncle being voiced by Michael Gambon, who played the Scrooge standing for the 11th Doctor’s Christmas Carol episode

Review The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure.
Fun fact about Nicole Kidman in this movie: she CHOSE to do this.
What I mean by that is, there's a story her agent was going through potential roles for her, and completely skipped over this one assuming (like many) it'd be some stupid kid's movie nobody would care about or remember.

You can easily imagine her turning up on set every day utterly giddy to start filming, and it's kind of adorable to think about.
Killing that one guy is definitely memorable for me, poor Taxi driver
It’s better then her being in every recent AMC Theaters screening.
@@twofacetoo75 There’s something charming and sweet about actor who wants to be in the wall because the stories from her childhood I mean who wouldn’t want to be part of a film or TV show about a story from their childhood? Even if it’s a minor wall I would love to be part of a Scooby Doo Fillmore episode even if I’m a background character myself
I think that energy certainly translates too.
I wish enthusiastic people were allowed to go ham.
People who get a role and go all out like Jim Carrey and Vincent Price.
I will say while I think Paddington was a cute film. The 2nd film is a masterpiece!!! Please see it!!
It did manage to unseat Citizen Kane even if by a technicality
Some of Hugh Grant's best work.
I feel like I'm the odd man out because I prefer the first one (although they're both 10/10s)

Nardole and The 12th Doctor? In one movie?
WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING?!
I know right? Made my teen eyes light up when I saw him and immediately noticed!
I mean, I’m pretty sure there’s a law requiring every British movie to have at least two actors from Doctor Who.
My headcanon is that this happened during the 70 years they spent guarding the vault, and they got bored and decided to live in London.
This! I’m surprised he didn’t touch that with a joke!
Also, Mr Brown is the pirate captain the 11th Doctor met in Series 6.
It's obvious the film (and the sequel) are beloved here in the UK, so it was refreshing to see an American's take on it. Very pleased to see how much you guys enjoyed it as well!
As an American myself, I really enjoyed both films, they're just so charming!! even if the teaser trailer is bad
I Mean Paddington Is Fine, But Paddington 2 Is PEAK

10 /10. Saw the both of them when was able to rent them from family video. Sadly, the store is now closed. Ever since then, at least a couple years back or so.

Me and my brother have been watching you since I was 6 and he was 10 now I’m 20. Thanks for the memories. We still quote you till this day.
Another Fun Fact: Originally, author Michael Bond was nervous about the project of turning his character into a live-action movie. However, he was convinced after seeing half a minute of test footage.
Unrelated, but I went to London 2 years ago, and when I first heard the word Cockfosters, me and my family started bursting out laughing on the train.
I wouldn’t drink a pint of Australian beer there, that’s for sure.
Another Fun Fact: Hugh Bonneville considers the Paddington character to be "a part of the DNA of the U.K.," and therefore, he was nervous about joining the project: "I was very nervous when I first picked it up because I thought, 'I don't want my childhood being messed with.'

Paddington bear was an extremely cute kids show at one point. They played it on early Nickelodeon, and I loved it.
Ok…so your Santa Christ Toys for Tots story has become part of my Christmas tradition. I know the story but I still watch it every year! 😅

17:38 Guys that’s nardole! And 17:55 That’s the 12th Doctor! Now if only Clara and bill were in this we’d have a bingo.
Don't forget River and Missy!
Gotta love Peter Capaldi with his role as another grouch like with portrayal as the 12th Doctor or Especially with his role as Malcolm Tucker swearing like a sailor. Really wanted a random joke with an audio clip of Capaldi swearing to Paddington or something like that.
I just nominated this film for the National Film Registry.
Paddington 2 is literally the best movie ever made fr.
I know I comment this all the time, but we'd appreciate it if you reviewed the following things:
1. HAUNTED CASTLE (2001 FILM)
2. 7 FACES OF DR. LAO
I remember my first time watching as a young teen. I had been watching a lot of seasons of Dr. Who. So when I saw Peter Capaldi, I was like "OH MY GOD, HOW DID HE GET THERE?!"
I'm surprised the Bad Trailers Security System doesn't include the marketing for Transformers One.
Or Dungeons & Dragon’s Honour Among Thieves
I hear Diamondbolt is on a John Wicke style hunt for whoever made that first trailer.
I agree and I watched the the film for the first time on Thanksgiving. Honestly,IMHO, the best Transformer film since the original 1986 film.
@@lonewolf6884 Honor Among Thieves was surprisingly pretty fun!!
Spike Lee: What's up, can I get two slices of pepperoni 23:41
I’m curious why are the new reviews being filmed at Doug’s house instead of the studio? Was it because of the tornado last year or did they lose the space?
Why did he get out of the screen like that😭 23:32
16:00 I actually watched it after the review, and let me tell you. It was as good as you thought it was. Cute, fun, very cool animation.
Paddington is the definition of great comfort movies.
W pfp
8:16 sometimes the limitation of a family friendly film can force people to be even more creative if they actually want to put effort into the story
22:34 so.... should we count into the spider-verse a christmas film? it was released on december, it even has a christmas song
Odd there seems to be a decent amount of former Doctor Who actors in this movie, Peter Capaldi obviously but the cab driver played Nardole towards the end of Capaldi's run and it wouldn't surprise me if I missed one or two more
You missed one, which is Paddington’s uncle being voiced by Michael Gambon, who played the Scrooge standing for the 11th Doctor’s Christmas Carol episode
0:57 she has a Haro and into Gundam! :0
3:28 Does that explain why “Dog Man” is releasing in January?
Also, didn’t “Kung Fu Panda 3” release in January?

*2019* Wow! You're making a pretty cool rendition of the Sailor Moon transformation! This is awes- (Sees the skirt) Ehh.. you lost me. This is awkward now. It’s being drawn out too long. Please. End it.
*2020* Dude, the skirt joke wasn’t that funny to begin with! Don’t rehash like a Home Alone sequel!
*2021* Well that was boring.
*2022* That was even more boring.
*2023* FINALLY!!! A Decent Christmas opening after 4 FRICKEN YEARS!!!
*2024* Eh, that was okay. At least the opening joke explained it.
They missed a bit by having the phone not be ANOTHER stuffed animal. Has anyone seen The Toy? Richard Pryor mistakes a cat skull for an ashtray, only for Jackie Gleason to show him the ACTUAL cat skull ashtray lol.
I'm still shocked how much positive reviews this movie has, same with its sequel
2:17-2:45
I thought it was a good try Doug, I just hope the studio gets back to 100% soon.
