    Well it was pretty good. Glad I kept an open mind.

    I think myself and the GF were the only adults without children in the screening we visited. I was a bit skeptical about seeing this, having grown up watching repeats of the old Michael Hordern narrated cartoon, with its lazy, innocent charm, and the trailer for this adaptation made it a look terribly stupid.

    On the contrary though, much of the charm, sweetness and warmth from the old cartoon remained intact, and we quite enjoyed ourselves really. It's not an essential film, and there wasn't much of the script written for the adults to enjoy, but it was all very silly and funny without being overly infantile (that probably seems like an odd thing to say about a children's film). If you were accompanying kids to a film, you could do a lot worse than this.

    This is perfect for Christmas, a film that the whole family can enjoy. Thumbs up for me.

    Myself and four friends saw it last night (average age 50!). We loved it! It's really sweet and Paddington is very well animated. You want to hug him :o. We went to the 8.45 showing and there were no kids in the cinema. Bonus!

    I am off to see this tomorrow. I have been a huge Paddington fan all my life and just hope they have not ruined him and tried to retain the charm of the books and older shows.

    Was given a present of this for my birthday on DVD , absolutely delighted that it kept the warmth and charm of the original series. Makes up for transformers 2 to 4. Smiled the whole way through it.
