Movies that feel likePaddington (2014)

A young Peruvian bear travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he meets the kindly Brown family, who offer him a temporary haven.

If you loved Paddington, the closest films we have are Where Am I Going? (2016), Stuart Little 2 (2002) and Coyote vs. Acme (2026). All three share Paddington's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Christopher Robin (2018).
