What critics compared Bunny and the Bull to
Paddingtonis beautifully adapted and directed by Paul King (who made cult film Bunny And The Bull), giving the film a gentle magical quality – that fact that a small talking bear in a floppy red hat and a blue duffel coat is amongst Londoners is never given a second thought – that is imbued with compassion and charm.
Director Paul King, who made Bunny and the Bull and episodes of the TV show The Mighty Boosh, brings an ease to the proceedings.
Indeed, the great achievement of writer-director Paul King, who comes more from a TV comedy (The Mighty Boosh) and pop video background and has made only one feature (Bunny and the Bull, a semi-animated curio), is his ability to work with a broad palette here, in both emotional and technical terms.
To the surprise and delight of fans of the quirky little, marmalade guzzling bear from Darkest Peru, director Paul King (The Mighty Boosh, Bunny and the Bull) takes that imploring note to heart, and not only looks after Paddington, but celebrates the spirit of his creator with a film that’s both witty and enchanting.
But writer/director Paul King (of the surreal British comedy Bunny and the Bull) and Harry Potter producer David Heyman have gone out of their way to enhance our childhood memories of Paddington rather than tarnish them the way so many other nostalgia pieces have done.
Paul King (The Mighty Boosh, Bunny and the Bull) is the perfect director for this project.
