Every Family Needs a Bear

If you've seen the Paddington movies, you'll know that Paddington makes some big mistakes. But despite that, his kindness and understanding almost always manages to win people over.

Which is lovely. Kindness should be more important than mistakes (you know, as long as you try to learn from your mistakes). 

Unfortunately a lot of people don't think that way. If you make a mistake, then it doesn't matter what else you do. 

So I guess Paddington makes you want to be a better person. I mean, Pedro Pascal and Nicolas Cage say as much. 

My dad loved the Paddington movies. But he'd only seen them once before we went to see Paddington 3 in theaters. He commented that the newest one was violent. I stared at him. "You don't remember 1, do you?" 

We went back and watched the first two Paddington movies. Dad even bought a couple jars of marmalade so we could eat it with toast during the movies.
