How depressing that the shrill-looking Peter Rabbit has made more in a weekend than the utterly charming Paddington 2 has done in a month. :(

I think it's a given every kids movie has a shrill trailer -- must be part of the marketing plan. Incredibly PETER RABBIT is supposedly watchable according to the Rotten Tomatoes crowd -- but that's according to the same critics who loved ZOOTOPIA and SECRET LIFE OF PETS. I'm not dragging Theo to it to find out. lol

On the other hand, I have to confess I didn't much care for the original PADDINGTON despite all the glowing reviews it received.

The first time through, I kind of shrugged it off as, "Well, that was cute", but watching it again recently before the sequel came out, it "clicked" for me. And the sequel is even better. In an era where bad kiddie movies are crammed with farts, burps, painful slapstick, instantly-dated pop music and crass, thinly-veiled adult innuendoes, the Paddington movies have a timeless, calming, charmingly "old-school" quality to them that goes down as sweetly as a marmalade sandwich. 8) They kind of sneak up on you quietly and by the end, you suddenly realize, "Hey, that was pretty great!" If I had kids, I'd especially appreciate taking them to movies like this, just because I wouldn't be sitting next to them wanting to gnaw my own foot off to escape the theater. :lol: Considering I had to sit through ads for Sherlock Gnomes and Teen Titans (both replete with agonizingly protracted bouts of flatulence) before Paddington 2, it made me appreciate that film even more.

I can't believe this stuff. Seriously. Sometimes you think people are too sensitive (and they are) -- and yet crap like this ends up in PETER RABBIT?

:shock:

Now that is something to legitimately get angry about.
