** It should also be noted that even ''Paddington'' wasn't sure of his original age in the books; when celebrating his birthday the Browns just decided to start all over again, but since Paddington at this point has been working a job and clearly states he isn't a cub, it would be reasonable to treat him as an adult.

* The renovation and conversion of the prison through cooking may seem like a case of GildedCage and the opposite of the Penial System, but it all actually works as a recreational activity, encouraging the inmates to focus their energy for something constructive and therapeutic. Heck, it even ''works'', as Knuckles goes on to open a sandwich shop.

** Presumably the sentencing guidelines in Britain treat bears as adults.

* Given that Paddington only wants to buy a pop-up book for Aunt Lucy to show her the sights of London, why does nobody suggest to him that he buy a cheap new kids book from a high-street store rather than a one-of-a-kind antique for £1000?

** Partly because the gift is for a beloved family member, and recommending something cheap would probably not go over well. Partly because they don't want to break his heart. Mostly because it's Paddington Bear, and amazing things tend to happen where he's concerned.

* In the climax, why would the carnival organ [[spoiler:make a "wrong" buzz when Phoenix enters the passtune incorrectly? It's supposed to just appear as an ordinary organ, only revealing its nature as a safe if the passtune is played. Additionally, it buzzes as soon as a wrong note is played, which would make it vulnerable to PasswordSlotMachine attacks. I guess it's just RuleOfFunny.]]

** Actually, the film seems to go out of its way to tell the audience that Paddington is ''not'' a cub. He tells people that "Aunt Lucy did so much for [him] when [he] was a cub" (the implication being that he's no longer one) at least three times. If Paddington were human, he'd probably be 18 at the very least and I'd guess more early-twenties.

* Paddington is still a cub. Why was he tried as an adult and sent to a prison with adult men?

* While it's PlayedForLaughs that Paddington mistook Mr. Brown's age to be "80", it's not entirely because he's being InnocentlyInsensitive. Given bear life spans are different from humans, he may have been saying Mr. Brown looked good for someone who was 80 ''bear'' years.
