Continuity mistake: When the family turn off the museum electrical system and then run away, their shoes are dry and do not leave wet footprints on the floor. Only when Millicent checks the electrics do the footprints appear.
Paddington (2014)
Directed by: Paul King
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Michael Gambon, Ben Whishaw, Peter Capaldi
Continuity mistake: When Paddington leaves the boat he has stowed away in, there are significantly greater number of marmalade jars there than what he originally had (or could even fit) in his case.
Plot hole: While on the boat, Paddington suddenly appears inside the mail sack, thus implying he managed to open the precinct, get inside the sack and find someone who closed the precinct again. An impossible task.
Trivia: The gentleman in the restaurant who waves as Paddington goes past in a black cab is the Paddington creator Michael Bond.
Trivia: Colin Firth was the first choice for the voice of Paddington, but after recording some of the lines for the film, the producers decided against him, believing he was "too mature" for the role.
Mrs. Bird: You just don't get it, do you?
Henry Brown: What?
Mrs. Bird: This family needed that wee bear every bit as much as he needed you. There. Said my piece.
Paddington: Um, you're not using those ear brushes to clean your mouth are you, Mr Brown?
Paddington: Mrs Brown says that in London everyone is different, and that means anyone can fit in. I think she must be right - because although I don't look like anyone else, I really do feel at home. I'll never be like other people, but that's all right, because I'm a bear. A bear called Paddington.
