Paddington 2: This Time It’s Personal… no, that was Jaws IV: The Revenge, but both feature individuals who are little alien in their respective environments because they’re getting hassled by ‘the man’.

Voiced by Ben Whishaw, Paddington is now happily settled with the Brown family in Windsor Gardens, where he has become a […]
