FILM 1957: PADDINGTON 2

TRIVIA: Paddington author Michael Bond died on the last day of filming Paddington 2 (2017) and six months before the release of this film, at the age of 91. His last book about the titular character was released in April 2017. Books on Paddington have sold more than 35 million copies throughout his career.

The best-reviewed film ever on Rotten Tomatoes. As of the 3rd of August 2018, the movie has 199 Fresh reviews and no naysayers, overtaking 163 Fresh and zero negative critiques from previous record-holder Toy Story 2 (1999).

One day after completing her demanding underwater scenes for The Shape of Water (2017), Sally Hawkins flew from Toronto, Canada to London, England in order to begin production on this film, only to find out she would have to shoot underwater scenes for this film as well.

Hugh Grant's favorite film of his own.

Paul King dropped out of directing Wonder (2017) in favor of making this film instead.

The film was originally produced by The Weinstein Company, but was sold preceeding the company's bankruptcy.
