It’s also directed by the guy who did the first two Paddington films.
Watch: Paddington 3 cast on the long wait for threequel
Paddington star Simon Farnaby’s forgotten British comedy Bunny and the Bull is now available on Prime Video.
Directed by Paul King, who helmed the first two Paddington films and produced the third (and co-wrote both Paddington 2 and Wonka with Farnaby), the surreal road-trip flick released in 2009 to not much fanfare.
Farnaby, who you might also know from Horrible Histories and Ghosts, stars as lead character Stephen, a man who hasn’t gone outside in a year and reminisces about the bizarre sightseeing tour he went on that led to him shutting himself off from the world.
There are a few other familiar faces in the film, including The Great British Bake Off‘s Noel Fielding and The Great‘s Julian Barratt – Farnaby often appeared in their show The Mighty Boosh – and The IT Crowd‘s Richard Ayoade.
After a long gap, the third Paddington movie — Paddington in Peru — was released to the trilogy’s biggest opening weekend and the biggest opening for film studio StudioCanal.
, we called the film “a step down” but explained that: “A step down in a series of this quality is still a very good movie that Paddington fans of any age can savour like a marmalade sandwich.
“…There’s a sticky start before the movie finds its paws and delivers everything you want, from inventive, witty visuals and quirky gags to a heartwarming message.”
