I'm not at all familiar with the Paddington children's story, other than that he was a beat who came to London and had some adventures. I'm reasonably certain that none of those original adventures involved being stalked and then kidnapped by a poison dart toting dominatrix-cum-taxidermist bent on killing and stuffing him for display in a museum, who then opts for attempting to incinerate him. Much of the film is sweet, funny and harmless - and even entertaining for kids of all ages - but the scary bits are too much for the target audience of 6-10 year olds, and add nothing to plot. The bear, the family and all of their bits are excellent, but mostly spoiled by the really mean lady.
