Duration: 1h 43m
Settled in with the Brown family, Paddington the bear is a popular member of the community who spreads joy and marmalade wherever he goes. One fine day, he spots a pop-up book in an antique shop -- the perfect present for his beloved aunt's 100th birthday. When a thief steals the prized book, Paddington embarks on an epic quest to unmask the culprit before Aunt Lucy's big celebration.
Paddington 2 honors its star's rich legacy with a sweet-natured sequel whose adorable visuals are matched by a story perfectly balanced between heartwarming family fare and purely enjoyable all-ages adventure.
Gather your friends, dress for the weather, grab a drink at De Zwarte Doos, and join us on the field next to Koeveld for an unforgettable outdoor movie experience. Bring your own chair or picnic blanket, or come early to snag one of the provided seats; availability is first come, first served.
Reviews
“Paddington 2 surprised the hell out of me, and this is coming from somebody who loved the first. This is a sequel that doesn't disappoint.” Chris Stuckmann
“It has one out-loud laugh, plenty of sincere cleverness, vast technical ingenuity, a warm heart, lively performances and enough gyroscopic camera moves to make Max Ophüls jealous.” The New Yorker
“''Paddington 2" is "The Godfather Part II" of Peruvian bear movies, a sequel that surpasses the superb original.” Wall Street Journal
Awards
The film won several awards including Best Movie 2018 (Golden Tomatoe Awards, UK) and acting honors for Hugh Grant and Sally Hawkins (London Film Critics’ Cicrle Awards), plus Best Adapted Screenplay and a ‘Truly Moving Picture’ award.
