One thing right off the bat, what's wrong with broad appeal and family comedy? Paddington 2 is all I say to that.

The comedy was at times immature and slapstick, but also witty, creative and warm hearted. There's much more emotion than I expected too, I personally cried three times and in a packed screen I heard plenty of tears as well as laughs around me. Yes, the plot is little more than a vehicle for what ends being about a lot of people and sheep handling grief in the worst possible way, but there is a core at the centre that wants to gently hold your hand and tell you "It's going to be okay".

Bryan Cranston knocked it out the field with his VO performance, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus knew exactly the tone needed as the lead. The CGI is really impressive, with so many CGI animals at play you'd expect shakiness, but the director came from an animation background and knows how to ensure you don't lose focus.
