Paddington 2 wikipedia series#
Buchanan uses the book to locate a series of clues within London's landmarks, which he believes will unveil the location of a secret treasure. The Browns work to clear Paddington's name, putting up sketches of the thief. While in prison, Paddington befriends many of the inmates, including the short-tempered chef Knuckles, who recruits Paddington, impressed by his marmalade sandwich recipe. Paddington appears in court, and although Gruber states that he does not believe that Paddington stole the book, with no evidence of the thief's existence, Paddington is convicted and sent to prison. The thief returns home and is revealed to be Phoenix Buchanan, an egotistical ex-actor who lives near the Browns. Paddington gives chase, but the thief escapes, and Paddington is framed. To purchase a unique pop-up book of London in Samuel Gruber's antique shop for his aunt Lucy's 100th birthday, Paddington performs several odd jobs and saves his wages, but the book is stolen. Paddington, having settled with the Brown family in Windsor Gardens, has become popular in his community, offering people emotional support in various ways. It received three nominations at the 71st British Academy Film Awards: Outstanding British Film, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actor in a Supporting Role, for Grant. It received widespread critical acclaim on Metacritic, and has an approval rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (and is, with 243 positive reviews, the highest-rated film on the site). The film was theatrically released on 10 November 2017 in the United Kingdom and 6 December 2017 in France, and grossed $227 million worldwide. Principal photography began in October 2016 and ended in June 2017. In the film, Paddington tries to get a present for his aunt's birthday, but is arrested and imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, and his family have to find the real culprit and prove Paddington's innocence. The film, a British-French co-production, stars Ben Whishaw as the voice of Paddington, with Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Brendan Gleeson, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi, and Hugh Grant in live-action roles. Based on the stories of Paddington Bear, created by Michael Bond (to whom the film is also dedicated, him having died that year), it is the sequel to Paddington (2014), and is produced by Heyday Films and StudioCanal UK. Paddington 2 is a 2017 live-action animated comedy film directed by Paul King and written by King and Simon Farnaby.
