So I just watched this out of some morbid curiosity that will most likely kill me one day. It looks like your usual Hollywoodised watered-down piece of shit bastardisation of a beloved children's show, except for a few disturbing pieces of imagery. Check it out, I dare you.

Technically, it's a children's book series.

Well, to be fair, the trailer looks better than those Yogi Bear and Maramduke movies.

So ... does the bear talk or just make disturbingly human grunts and screams?

talks. wears clothing, eats marmalade and comes from deepest darkest peru.

Slapstick and word play is a long part of the book's tradition.

Only Paddington story I remember when he attempts carpentry and ends up with a table at about ankle height.

Thw only joke that really felt right was the 'dogs must be carried' one, not all the gross out bathroom stuff.

the first chapter of the first book has him destroying a tea rooms: http://www.action.org.uk/sites/default/ ... xtract.pdf

Just doesn't have the Paddington Bear look compared to the children's show, which IMO had a nicer appearance.

It's funny, I'll give it that. But why the hell would anyone invite a bear to stay at his house? It just sounds counter intuitive.

British hospitality at work. And the books were set in the 1960s and 1970s IIRC, so the parents probably felt some sort of experiential empathy with him (they were probably Blitz evacuees).
