Paddington 2

My Thoughts:

-    Gnome loved the first Paddington movie, and I thought it was pretty cute, so we were excited when we saw that there was going to be a Paddington 2.

-    It didn't disappoint. It was SO cute and very funny. Hubby, Gnome, and I laughed a lot throughout the film. 

-    I love Paddington. He is such an endearing little bear, and I love his good manners. 

-    The cast was perfect. I loved all the characters.

-    This film is squeaky clean. I appreciated that this was a good-feeling family flick. Thank you!

-    Gnome loved everything about this movie, and she said she even liked it better than the first Paddington.

-    I'm sure this movie will become part of our home collection.

My Thoughts:

-    Super Super Super CUTE movie!!  I thoroughly enjoyed it!  I laughed a lot!

-    The whole movie is visually stunning.  The CG was amazing!  The scenery was so beautiful!!  I loved all the colors.

-    The story was great!  It was really heartfelt, I even got teary.  The moral was really touching!  It was all about mother and daughter bickering and differences, and how we need to swallow are pride.  

-    The music (minus the pipers) was fantastic!

-    The animated short is called LaLuna.  It was AWESOME!!  It was so cute.  I loved it! 

-    The dad and the 3 little boys were hilarious!  They were probably my favorite characters.  Every scene with them was just a riot.

-    I laughed every time the bear walked upright.  It had this bum wiggle that just cracked me up.

-    The voice actors were perfect!!

-    The little blue wisps reminded me of the little forest spirits from Princess Monoke.  I kept expecting them to bobble their heads.  It wouldn't surprise if John Lasseter patterned them after the spirits.  He is such a Miyazaki fan.  

-    I loved her horse!!

-    There were some bums in the movie.  They were comical bum shots, but I'm not a fan of seeing butts in general.

-    This was a really charming movie.  I highly recommend getting to a theater to see it!!  It is worth it.
