In the 2014 film Paddington, the main character’s goal is to find a permanent home and a sense of belonging in London.
Driven by the stories of a British explorer who visited his aunt and uncle in Peru decades earlier, Paddington arrives at Paddington Station believing the city is a welcoming place for a polite bear. His journey to achieve this goal is hindered by a series of environmental, social, and antagonistic obstacles.
Paddington faces the immediate obstacle of being a literal "fish out of water" (or bear out of jungle).
The head of the household, Henry Brown, serves as a major social obstacle. A risk-averse insurance analyst, Henry views Paddington as a physical and financial liability. He initially refuses to let Paddington stay permanently and actively seeks to move him to an orphanage or a temporary facility, making Paddington feel like an unwanted guest rather than a family member.
The most dangerous obstacle is Millicent Clyde, a cold-hearted taxidermist at the Natural History Museum.
In his quest to find the explorer, Paddington must manually search for "M. Clyde" in the London phone book. This involves traveling across the city and knocking on doors, which leaves him vulnerable. At one point, he is led into a trap by Millicent, who lures him to the museum under the guise of being related to the explorer.
Paddington faces an internal obstacle: the fear that he is a burden. After the kitchen fire incident, he overhears Mr. Brown expressing his desire for the bear to leave. Feeling that his presence only causes trouble and endangers the family, Paddington runs away into the rain, leaving himself without shelter or protection from Millicent's pursuit.
The summary mentions the phone book search but omits the reason: the Geographers' Guild had destroyed/erased the records of the expedition, forcing the manual search.
The summary focuses heavily on Mr. Brown's skepticism but misses the contrast with the rest of the family (Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Bird, Jonathan) who are generally more accepting, which is a key dynamic.
In the 2014 film Paddington, the main character's goal is to find a home in London and locate the explorer Montgomery Clyde, who had visited his family in Peru. His obstacles include cultural displacement, the skepticism of Mr. Brown (a risk analyst), and the villainous Millicent Clyde. Millicent is a taxidermist who wishes to stuff Paddington to restore the reputation of her father, who was expelled from the Geographers' Guild (not the Royal Geographical Society) for refusing to collect a bear specimen. Paddington faces specific challenges such as flooding the bathroom and being framed for a kitchen fire (which was actually caused by Millicent's break-in). He eventually tracks Millicent down via the phone book, leading to his capture and subsequent rescue by the Brown family.
