Picture
Synopsis: Following the worldwide hit "Paddington," one of the most successful family films of all time, this much-anticipated sequel finds Paddington (Ben Whishaw) happily settled with the Brown family in London, where he has become a popular member of the local community, spreading joy and marmalade wherever he goes
Main Features: The first Paddington film was such a refreshing family film, well-made and entertaining for all ages. Paddington 2 amped up the quality while maintaining it's entertainment appeal. One of those rare sequels that surpasses the original film, Paddington 2 is just wonderful, whimsical fun. Adults will be entertained but also taken in by the high quality filmmaking. This techie parent also is astounded by the beautiful visuals in the 4K UHD format. Supposedly just an upscale, the original great cinematography shines shines thru and is a high quality transfer. 

Bonus Features: Half dozen or so basic bonus features populate, clocking in no longer than 6 minutes. No digital code, as this release is part of the on-demand pressing of physical media discs. Perhaps at some point after Paddington in Peru hits home entertainment, a nice three-film collection with quality and quantity extras can be included, but that will be a tough task given each film's rights held by three separate studios. 

Final Call: While the lack of significant extras is a bummer, Paddington 2 is a stunning sequel, sandwiched between its predecessor and successor as a sweet, stunning achievement.

Grade: A-
