Paddington 2 is the 2017 sequel to Paddington (2014) - based on the popular Paddington Bear books by Michael Bond. It is directed by Paul King, with the screenplay by King and Simon Farnaby.As his Aunt Lucy's 100th birthday is coming up, Paddington searches for a gift that will show his appreciation of all the work she has done in raising him. In Mr Gruber's shop, he finds an antique pop-up book depicting various landmarks around London. As Aunt Lucy always wanted to visit the city, he decides he'll get it for her. As it costs around £500, he decides to get a job to buy it.As he's ready to make the payment, Mr Gruber's shop is broken into and the book stolen. But Paddington is found at the scene of the crime, and is sentenced to ten years in prison! The Brown family, however, are determined to clear his name - and Paddington himself won't give up that easily.Ben Whishaw and most of the cast from the first film return. Hugh Grant, Ben Miller, Brendan Gleeson and Joanna Lumley also star. A third Paddington film titled Paddington In Peru is due to be released on November 8, 2024.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Paddington 2 / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Mr Curry's zeal in policing Windsor Gardens and trying to turn the neighbours against Paddington, including making a "threat level" chart and encouraging them to panic when he escapes prison, is very reminiscent of Britain's struggles with anti-immigrant xenophobia and Brexit (and America's own struggles post-Trump), a fact which was not lost on reviewers.

Red Sock Ruins the Laundry
 Paddington 2 / int_15fd3f07
comment
Red Sock Ruins the Laundry: When doing the prison laundry, Paddington accidentally lets slip in a red sock with the standard black-striped white prison shirts and slacks but decides to let it pass, figuring it won't be a big deal. In the next scene, he thinks that the new pink look of the outfits really brightens up the place, though the looks on the faces of the other prisoners say otherwise.

Villain Ball: Phoenix collects all of the musical notes for the steam organ to unlock the hidden fortune, but he's actually only written them in the book itself, which bites him when Paddington steals it back and he forgets the order without any backup notes for him to consult. Furthermore, him having the book there in the first place enables the Browns to photograph him holding the book.

Just Train Wrong: Uncoupling a train while it was in motion would cause the brake pipes to disconnect, bringing the uncoupled wagon(s) to a screeching halt. A dead-end siding from the mainline would be controlled from a signal box, rather than a lever next to the track.

Chekhov's Gun: The coin from Mrs Bird's coin trick early on that Paddington stores in his ear comes in handy later when he needs to call the family from a payphone. Early on, the camera lingers on Judy as she takes a photo of the fairground organ. Later, she remembers the line "where all your dreams come true" because of the banner she captured in that photo. His sticky encounter with a candy apple at the fair gives Paddington the idea to use candy apples to crawl across the traintop later. Paddington's telescopic ladder which he used for his window washings comes in handy during the train chase when he tries to get to the other train. Although this plan was foiled by Phoenix.

Mythology Gag
 Paddington 2 / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The basic premise at the start of Paddington collecting money to buy somebody else something for their birthday is similar to the feature-length episode of the first animated Paddington series Paddington's Birthday Bash, though this time it's for Aunt Lucy rather than Mr Brown. The sequence with Paddington at the barber's shop bares some resemblance to an episode of the aforementioned TV series wherein Paddington ends up working at a barbershop and cuts off the hair of a sleeping patron and attempts to stick it back on, though the results here are far more chaotic than the original episode. The animation in the pop-up book segment is similar to the original series.

Prisoner Performance: Invoked. The film ends with Big Bad Phoenix Buchanan getting sent to jail. He accepts imprisonment happily, because now he can act to his heart's content and do musical routines with his fellow prisoners. As he himself points out, "I've always wanted a captive audience!" Later, a closing credits stinger features a scene where Phoenix performs a Busby Berkeley Number with his fellow inmates, and he is clearly delighted while doing so.

Hollywood Law: The judge presiding over Paddington's trial is already biased against him due to the earlier haircutting incident, and even manages to add this to his prison sentence. Though it mainly serves as an amusing call-back, in real life the court would not enlist a judge with previous personal enmity against the accused, in order to assure that the trial is fair and impartial.

Stylistic Suck: Everything about the Harley's Gourmet Dog Food advert shown on TV — from the premise, costuming, and sets to Phoenix's line delivery and plummy Gielgud accent — perfectly mimics cheesy 1980s commercials. It's not surprising why he sees them as an embarrassment and something to keep the lights on.

comment
Actionized Sequel: Downplayed. The bulk of the film is not action-packed, keeping to the same tone as the first. Though Paddington's initial encounter with the thief leads to a chase, while the film's climax has the characters hopping back-and-forth between two moving trains.

Creative Closing Credits: Paddington's scrapbook is shown on the right as the credits roll on the left, revealing things such as scenes from Aunt Lucy's party and that three inmates who escaped the prison with Paddington and later helped rescue him, Knuckles, Phibs, and Spoon, got pardoned, Knuckles opening a restaurant which was quickly a big hit. This ends with a scene of Phoenix being sentenced and showing six months later that he's now made friends with the prison inmates like Paddington did has staged them in a musical show.

Real Men Wear Pink: The prisoner's uniforms get a pinkish hue when Paddington accidentally puts a red sock in with the black-and-white uniforms and the colour runs. Despite their initial anger, they gradually adopt it as their new standard uniform and wear it long after. It later turns out most of the prison inmates know how to make their own specialised desserts and later they all appear in a flamboyant prison-wide musical number and clearly having a wonderful time. They are also seen doing group dancing and the montage shows they take to gardening and planting flowers throughout the prison.

Mass "Oh, Crap!"
 Paddington 2 / int_97fa0a10
comment
Mass "Oh, Crap!": When Paddington decides to speak to Knuckles, every other inmate looks on in horror and the warden requests a medic be sent to the canteen. When Knuckles looks like he’s about to respond in the expected manner, the inmates all hide beneath their tables, and the warden changes his mind and requests a priest instead.

Chekhov's Skill
 Paddington 2 / int_acecb17d
comment
Chekhov's Skill: Every member of the Brown family has one of these. Henry's yoga classes allow him to do the splits without pain in the climax when he has a foot on two separate trains. A flashback to his great throwing skills at the fair also comes in useful when he has to knock Phoenix out. Mary's training to swim the English Channel at the start of the film. She dives into the river to rescue Paddington. Jonathan spends most of the film downplaying his love and knowledge of steam trains, which allows him to take control of the train in the finale. Judy's journalist skills are useful throughout, such as tape-recording a conversation to trick Phoenix into thinking that he is talking to his agent, or photographing Phoenix with the pop-up book to clear Paddington's name. Of course Henry Bullseye Brown was going to come back, even if only in a small way. (He gets to biff Phoenix on the noggin with a carnie ball.)

Metaphorically True: Paddington writes to Aunt Lucy after he ends up in prison, claiming he's just had to relocate, that the building is one of the oldest in London, and he gets to see the Browns once a month. Although he lies under oath when he claims he saw Paddington out his window, Phoenix admits he didn't see the man the bear was chasing — not mentioning that he was the man at the time.

Character Check: Mr Curry was merely grumpy as opposed to mean in the first film. Here he's far more antagonistic to Paddington — partly because the Colonel covers the "grumpy but kindhearted" role at first, and partly because Curry's getting entirely too into his role as the "Commander of [the] Community Defense Force" (i.e. a glorified Neighbourhood Watch).

Shout-Out
 Paddington 2 / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: To Modern Times; when escaping from prison through a Clockworks Area, Paddington is forced to squeeze through the gears in the central clocktower, which also give him a Chaplinesque grease moustache on his muzzle. The Art Shift depicting Paddington and Aunt Lucy visiting the London landmarks in the pop-up book is a homage to the classic BBC adaptations of the books in the 1970s and 1980s, which depicted Paddington himself as a stop-motion animated stuffed bear who interacted with a world presented as animated paper cut-outs. The prison setting is a big shoutout to Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel. Paddington's Old-School Chivalry, feeding of the prisoners and befriending hard-boiled inmates who help him escape is a direct reference to M. Gustave. The aesthetic influence is especially pronounced by the red sock dying the convicts' uniforms lavender pink. One of the stories in the Hard Times reports that the warden is going to throw a party in the county jail at which Spider Murphy will play the tenor saxophone while the prisoners will all be dancing to the jailhouse rock. One of the convicts Sir Henry Willcott, who is apparently standing for election, says "I couldn't possibly comment" when looking at Mrs Brown's sketches of suspects, which was the trademark phrase of the villainous politician Francis Urquhart in the original House of Cards. To The Untouchables: "Never bring a knife to a gunfight". She even has a Scottish accent like Connery! To William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale: when Phoenix has Paddington cornered at the edge of the last train car, he quips "Exit bear, pursued by an actor" (which is an allusion to a stage direction of the play: "Exit, pursued by a bear.")

Disguised in Drag: One of Phoenix's disguises is as a nun, named 'Sister Isabella'. The security guard who fell for Mr Brown's disguise returns and falls for it again. And once again he's convinced she's "the most beautiful woman I've ever seen".

 Paddington 2 / int_e71ad328
comment
Plot Tailored to the Party: As in the first film: The residents of Windsor Gardens help the Browns' car start, so they can get to Paddington station. Paddington is able to hitch a lift with the binman he was helping study for The Knowledge. Mrs Bird picks the locks on the Browns' handcuffs. Jonathan's love of trains allows him to drive a steam engine to catch Phoenix's train. Judy's camera blinds Phoenix, allowing... Henry to knock him out with a well-timed ball throw. Mary dives into the river to rescue a drowning Paddington.

Artistic License – Geography: The train at the end of the movie is going from London to Bristol, a straightforward two-hour trip that would pass through the lush countryside and gently rolling hills of southern England. In the film, though, it's a much longer journey, featuring the kind of rugged scenery that could only be found in more mountainous parts of Britain (i.e. the north of England, Wales and Scotland).

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
 Paddington 2 / int_eb8f64a6
comment
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Besides his strong desire to obtain the book, it's mostly Paddington's attempt to stop the disguised Phoenix from stealing the book that leads to him being accused of the theft, as he is seen by the police near Mr Gruber's shop right when the theft is committed, and the pawprints and marmalade stains he makes while running through the shop are used as evidence against him in court.

Spotting the Thread
 Paddington 2 / int_ec0ce986
comment
Spotting the Thread: After the trial, Mr Gruber talks with Mrs Brown as he observes that the thief's most likely route into the shop during the robbery would have taken him past several more potentially valuable items before he got to the pop-up book. Since the thief didn't bother taking any jewels or other more obvious items, this helps them realise that the robber had a specific interest in that book rather than the crime being one of opportunity, giving the Browns a clue for their own investigations.

Meta Casting: Hugh Grant plays Phoenix Buchanan, an incredibly versatile yet washed-up actor who was once famous for his vast range of characters. From the beginning of his career, Grant was often criticised for always playing the same romantic Upper-Class Twit in most of his well-known roles and his career had previously hit a standstill because of it note The success of Paddington 2 would go on to give Grant a Career Resurrection. According to Grant himself, the character in the script's first draft was actually named Hugh Grant.

Grail in the Garbage
 Paddington 2 / int_fe61495d
comment
Grail in the Garbage: Sort of; a map to an insanely valuable treasure is hidden inside an innocent-seeming pop-up book among the various old discards that can be found in an old antique shop. This later proves a clue to the Brown family, as Mr Gruber notes that in order to steal the pop-up book, the likely path the culprit would have taken would have taken him past numerous far more valuable items if he was just a thief — meaning that the pop-up book itself was the target, and so is more valuable than anyone previously suspected.

Happy Ending: For everyone. Jonathan becomes more confident in himself and no longer feels a need to pretend, Judy's paper is a hit, Mary succeeds in swimming the English channel, Henry is promoted at work, Knuckles and his gang are pardoned and open a very successful cafe and, most of all, Paddington gets to see Aunt Lucy and finally show her London. Even Phoenix is much happier in prison, finally able to work with others again and put on shows much to his and everyone else's delight. It's all every bit as delightful and heartwarming as it sounds.
