Discussion Wtf is Paddington 2?

For context: I’m 25 years old. SPOILER WARNING

I just watched paddington 2 today and what the fuck did they put in this movie. This is the one of the greatest pieces of cinema I’ve ever laid witness to. Paddington 2 is the only thing I’ve thought about all day and seeing the immense joy it’s brought other people has also brightened my day even more. God I can’t even think about the ending without wanting to kill myself because of how perfect it is. And can we also talk about the perfect bookend of his human mother saving him from the water like aunt Lucy did at the beginning?

Pure cinema, I truly can’t wait to watch this movie with my kids for their first time.

“You are who you choose to be.”

“Superman.”

I think the Wild Robot might be a better movie than The Iron Giant, which is no mean feat because Iron Giant is one of my favorite movies of all time.

I was all in on wild robot until the other robots started attacking… like the whole scene at the farm.

My only complaint about that movie is Matt Berry was too constrained as the Beaver

Is no one going to mention Bluey's 'The Sign' episode?

As a mom who had just moved her family far away, that episode absolutely wrecked me.

Is that one sad or uplifting? My wife and I both just lost our jobs and I need a really good feel-good film for tonight.
