It is quite the round-up of respectable British actors, and it all helps to keep this piffle motoring along nicely. New are: Hugh Grant, in the prized comic-villain role Brendan Gleeson, as a soft-hearted prison cook and Tom Conti and Joanne Lumley in small roles. Brown and Imelda Staunton, Michael Gambon, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent and Peter Capaldi reprise their various roles. King has rounded up the old gang for this second outing: Ben Wishaw voices the computer-animated Paddington Hugh Bonneville and Sally Hawkins return as Mr. Paddington - named for the train station where he was discovered by the Brown family - is the much-beloved literary creation of Michael Bond the bear has had many adventures over the decades, but contemporary cinematic effects have made them considerably flashier.

Wonka is slated for a Marelease date in theaters, but, as we’ve learned, nothing is set in stone.In the gloom of January - often a dumping ground for uninspired movies that nobody was going to see anyway - comes a rare bloom: Paddington 2, the sequel to 2014’s Paddington, is better than the first film.
