I liked this movie and I think kids older than 4 and adults will really like this movie. In the beginning, Aunt Lucy and Uncle were talking about London when they saw Paddington in trouble, so they saved Paddington. But, because they raised Paddington, they couldn\u2019t go to London. But, Paddington went to London and Paddington is now being raised by the Brown family. It is also Aunt Lucy\u2019s birthday and he is struggling to find a perfect\u00a0 gift. What happens next is a huge adventure. This movie is funny, exciting and Paddington shows us to look for the good in everyone.<\/p>\n<h4>Pictures from the event<\/h4>\n<p><em>Photos taken by Rosanne Fisch<\/em><\/p>\n<p
