Paddington Trailer
Paddington Synopsis
In the deep jungles of darkest Peru, an explorer named Montgomery Clyde locates a family of semi intelligent bears, whom he realises can learn English and have a deep appetite for marmalade. He tells them they are always welcome should they wish to go to Britain. The bears, Lucy and Pastuzo, live in harmony with their nephew. One day, an earthquake strikes their home, forcing them to seek shelter underground. Pastuzo disappears leaving nothing but his hat and Lucy encourages her nephew to go and find solace in London while she moves into a retirement home for old bears.
The young bear reaches London but fails to find a home, until he is taken in briefly by the Brown family, who name him Paddington. Mr. Brown is adamant that Paddington stay only one night while they find a place for him to live permanently. Paddington causes a series of accidents across the house which lead the family to further ostracise him. Paddington believes he can find a home with the explorer who found them, Montgomery Clyde. The Browns find out that Paddington's hat, given to him by Pastuzo, is in fact Clyde's hat and valuable artefact, and thus they take it to an antique store to locate Clyde.
Meanwhile, a sadistic museum owner Millicent captures and stuffs exotic animals to house in her museum. When she discovers Paddington, she immediately tries to hunt him down. With the help of Mr. Brown, Paddington locates archives that reveal a series of names that fit M Clyde, and they use phonebooks to locate the addresses of each one. While Paddington remains home alone, Millicent, scheming with the Brown's neighbour Mr. Curry, sneaks in and tries to capture Paddington; he inadvertently repels her, but also sets part of the house on fire. The Browns don't believe his story of Millicent trying to capture him and believe it is time he moved onto a new home as soon as possible.
Paddington, feeling unwanted at the Browns, leaves and tries to locate Montgomery Clyde himself. When he finally locates the house, he finds out Clyde died many years ago, and it is revealed Millicent is his daughter - who was bitter towards her father for failing to capture a specimen of the bears he claimed to have found, an act which also granted him disdain from the museum itself. She manages to tranquillise Paddington and prepare him for stuffing, but Mr. Curry betrays her when discovering her true intentions and informs the Brown family of the events. They immediately rush to save Paddington, who is locked away in the museum. They manage to rescue him, and Paddington subdues Millicent by throwing a marmalade sandwich at her, which attracts a huge flock of pigeons.
In the end, the Browns adopt Paddington into their family, and Millicent is punished for her crimes by being sentenced to community service at an animal shelter. Paddington writes to Aunt Lucy saying he is happy and has found a home at last.
Paddington Movie Review
<Paddington> is an awesome family movie because it is funny and touching. Paddington was lose his home due to the earthquake and have to separate with Aunty Lucy. At first, Mr. Brown don't really like Paddington to stay with them because a lot of incident happened when it is appeared, such as the washroom incident and kitchen incident but because of his family, he decided to save the bear from the evil taxidermist. A lot of people would thought the bear would find Montgomery Clyde, the explorer but unfortunately, his daughter is the evil taxidermist and the antagonist of the movie. Although Paddington was caught by her for stuffing, but luckily he was being rescued by Brown's family. At last, he wrote a letter to Aunty Lucy and tell her that he is happy and find the home at last.
