"Dear Aunt Lucy,

"Thank you so much for my birthday card.

"I've put it in pride of place.

"I've had the most memorable day.

"It all started with a song."



- ♪ Happy birthday to you

- ♪ Squashed tomatoes and stew

ALL: ♪ Happy birthday, dear Paddington ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you

[He holds the note]

Oh, thank you. That was amazing!

You're all such wonderful singers!



- Blow out the candles!

- Yeah, and make a wish!

I don't have anything to wish for.

I'm the happiest bear in the world.

Wish for something for me, then!

Paddington, close your eyes

and I'm sure a wish will come to you.

I think I've got an idea.

Now, wee bear, don't say what your wish is

or it won't come true.

But it already has, Mrs Bird.

I wished for a wonderful birthday

and here I am having one.

Aw, you really are a rare sort of bear.

Now open your presents!

And don't forget to cut the cake!

You'll get some cake, Mr Brown.

Hold your horses.

Ha! I just didn't want anyone to forget.

Here you go, Mr Brown.

My first present will be watching you



- enjoy that slice of cake.

- Thank you.

Well, I think we can manage that. Heh, heh!

In fact...

I've got presents for all of you.

[Laughs] Oh, Paddington, today isyourbirthday!

You aren't supposed to be buying presents for us!

Oh, yes, but in Peru,

we bears love togivepresents on our birthdays.

Now, Jonathan, here's that robot dinosaur you wanted.

Wow!

And a new camera lens for you, Judy.

Apparently, it has different functions.

Oh! This is the one I wanted! Thank you!

A new wrench for you, Mrs Bird.

Och! Thank you!

And... for you, Mrs Brown, and I did make these especially,

cuddle coupons!

Well, then I am spending one right now!

Aw.

And for you, Mr Brown, an extra slice of cake.

Well, we do have presents for you too, Paddington.

Gosh! I wonder what they could be.

JONATHAN: Definitely not marmalade!



- Jonathan!

- Sorry...

But now we need to go

or we'll miss your special birthday treat.

How would you like to go on a sightseeing trip around London?

Oh, yes, Mr Brown!

I would like that very much indeed!

"And so we set off, Aunt Lucy.

"Well, after I ran back in for some cake."

All aboard the London tour bus.

And today we'll be seeing everything

this great capital city has to offer.

How exciting!

"And off we went to central London."

Oh! Ha, ha! Happy birthday, Paddington!

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, Paddington!



- [Gasp]

- [Tyres screech]

Hmm. Many happy returns, Bear.

Thank you, Mr Curry!

Look! A magpie!

[Gasps] Roadworks!

Oh! Oh! Traffic lights!

Why don't you look out this side, Paddington?

PADDINGTON: Goodness! An enormous clock!

MRS BIRD: It's Big Ben.

JUDY: Actually, the bell inside is Big Ben.



- PADDINGTON: Hello, Ben!

- [Bell rings]

PADDINGTON: He said hello back!



- JUDY: Look at that!

- MRS BIRD: It's a big wheel!



- [Chuckles]

- PADDINGTON: Goodness!

We should help those people up there!

Paddington, they want to be up there!



- Do they?

- Think of the view!

They can see all of London from up there!

Oh! Wow!

[Jaunty music]

[Gasps]

[Honking]

Aaah!

PADDINGTON: Where are we going next, Mrs Brown?

Well, who wants to go for a boat trip on...



- the river Thames!

- [Ship horn]



- [All gasp]

- KIDS: Me! Me!

PADDINGTON: Oh, yes, please, Mrs Brown!



- Yay!

- Woohoo!



- [Laughter]

- Let's go!

Now, now, slow down! Ha, ha! Don't run.

Oh, no! Oh!

[Panting]

Oh!



- [Ship horn]

- Oh, no! The boat!

Mr Brown! Mrs Brown!

Oh! Stop! Come back!

Oh, my! What am I going to do now?

Aha!

Oh!

Oh!

Let's see...

Uh... hmm...

Ah!

There!

[Gasps]

Hmm?

[Gasps]

Right.

Ah, right. Ah, don't panic.

I've done this plenty of times before.

Just need to find the oars.

Now, where could they...

be?

MRS BROWN: [Contented sigh]

What a way to end such a lovely day!

GUIDE:Welcome aboard theThames Rider,

the smoothest boat ride in London.

Yes, it is very smooth.

Ha, ha! It certainly is.

Whoa! Whoa!

"Rowing proved to be very hard indeed, Aunt Lucy.

"The first difficulty was trying to go in a straight line.

"It seemed the boat much preferred going

"in different directions altogether.

"But, then, all of a sudden, I began to get the hang of it."

I'm doing it! I'm rowing!

Hurray! Westward ho!

Oh!

Ah!

Very sorry!

Oh!

Oh, dear!

Well, good thing I have the other oar.

[Gasps]

I, uh, might be in a bit of a pickle.

Ah! This is the life, eh, Paddington?

I'm not Paddington!

Ooh! Ha, ha! So sorry!

[Nervous laughter] Oops!

That was embarrassing, wasn't it, Paddington?

Paddington? Hmm? Paddington?

Paddington!

Have any of you seen Paddington?

I thought he was with you!

No, no, he's not with me. [Nervous laughter]

Oh, my goodness!

Well, where is he, then?

"I was lost at sea, Aunt Lucy,

"drifting at the mercy of the tides.

"How long had I been out there?

"Hours? Days?

"Maybe just since lunchtime.

"But, then, on the horizon, salvation!"



- [Ship horn]

- Hello! Over here!

Hello! I think they've seen me!

They're getting closer...



- Yes, closer, even closer...

- [Ship horn]

And... Ooh!

Aaah!

Oh!

Oh!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa! Aaah!

Whoa! Oh!

Whoa!

Aaah! Oh! Aaah!

Whoa!

Oof!

"My birthday had taken quite a turn, Aunt Lucy.

"The boat trip the Browns had arranged ended up

"with me being washed ashore in a strange place."



- Ow!

- Welcome to Traitors' Gate.

Only the world's worst criminals

arrive to the Tower through this gate.

Traitor! Traitor!

Well, that's not very nice.

Quick! He must be waiting for us by the van!

Oh, no! He's not here!

I can't believe we've lost Paddington on his birthday!

Don't worry. We'll find him in no time.

Yeah, after all, he can only be anywhere in the whole of London.



- Into the van!

- Paddington? Paddington!

Hello?

Ah!

Hello?

Huh?

Ah!

Phew!

Oh! Just what I need.

I do hope no one will mind if I borrow some clothes,

just while these wet ones dry.

Ooh! Very snuggly.

Hmm. Ah! That should do it.

Oh! I almost forgot.

Just in case.

Oof!

Oh, ho, ho! You must be the new guy!

Oh, I... I shouldn't be wearing this!

I... um, uh, there's been a terrible mistake!

We all feel like that at first.

Daunting job, being a Beefeater.

But take it from me, you grow into the role.

No, really, I'm just lost.

Well, it's a big old place.

Ah, you know, I got lost a few times myself

when I was a spring chicken.

So, don't worry. I'll show you around.

Well, if you could show me the way out,

that would be very helpful.

You see, my family will be worried!

Oh, there's nothing to worry about!

I'll give you the whole guided tour.

But you'll need to pay attention

if you want to keep being a Beefeater.

I'm not a Beefeater.

You will be.

[Jolly] Follow me!

Oh, goodness me! It's a castle!

Oh, that's no mere castle, lad.

That's the Tower of London.

This, my lad, is the courtyard.

All the kings and queens of England

have passed through here.



- That is astonishing.

- [Gurgling croak]

Oh! Looks like the ravens need feeding.



- The ravens?

- Oh, yes!

Can't have them flying away.

You know, the legend goes that if ever the ravens

should leave the Tower of London,

then the city will fall.

Oh! We can't have that!

Who'd like some birthday cake?



- [Croaks]

- You can't feed ravens cake!

Oh! My mistake!

No, no, no! No, you can't have it!

No, no! It's not good for you!

There's something funny about that Beefeater.



- [Bell rings]

- Oh! Time for my tour!

Aaah!

Aaah!

Oh!

Oh! Wherever am I now?

Hmm.

[Huffing and puffing]

Oh! Don't suppose you know the way out, do you?

Thought not. Well...

Thank you anyway. I'll, uh, I'll just go back this way.

Some even say the ghost of "the naughty knight"



- can still be heard...

- [Crashing sound]

[Reverberating and ghostly] Whoa!

That's probably just the wind.

Whoa!

Aaah!

This way, please!

Hello?



- Paddington!

- Paddington!

ALL: Paddington!

[Honking]

Hmm?

Oh, oh!

RECORDED VOICE: Welcome to the Crown Jewels.

Please keep moving.

Oh, goodness me!

I've never seen anything like this before.

[Chuckles] This is rather fun!

And here we have the Coronation Regalia.

The most famous, valuable jewels in the entire world.

Wow! How wonderful.

Oh...

Oh, dear!

[Dramatic music]

Oops!

This is terrible!

Please keep moving.

If I can just...

Aha!

[Alarm goes off]

Oh, dear!

What's going on in here?

There's been a terrible mistake!

Stop!

Come back here with the Crown Jewels!

Aaah!

[Gurgling croak]

[Blows whistle]

Oh, PC Wells, thank heavens! We've lost Padding

-

-

Sorry. There's no time for that. I'm commandeering this vehicle!

Someone is trying to steal the Crown Jewels.

Now, get me to the Tower of London!



- Stop!

- Aaah!

Stop right there!

You again!

I'm so sorry.

There's been a terrible mistake.

Well, another terrible mistake.

You keep saying that.

I thought there was something funny about you,

but stealing the Crown Jewels?

I didn't mean to. I promise!

I didn't even mean to be here!

I came in through Traitors' Gate.

Traitors' Gate?

No one good comes in through that entrance!

Oh, it's not what it looks like.

Really? What is it, then?

Giving the Crown Jewels a little clean were you?

Well, actually, yes.

I have no choice but to throw you in the dungeon!



- Oh!

- [Honking]

Stop, in the name of...

Paddington?

ALL: Oh! Paddington!

Whatever happened to you, my wee cub?



- You found me!

- Um, Paddington,



- why are you wearing a crown?

- Well, to begin with

I accidentally got cake on it, so I tried to clean it off,

but then there was an alarm and red lights

and then it got stuck on my head and then I was chased by ravens!

And you expect us to believe this?

Well, in fact, I do.

Paddington is a very kind and rare sort of bear.

If he says this whole thing is a mix

-up,

that's good enough for me.

Actually, there does appear to be some, uh...

marmalade or something on here.

Hmm. I'll get this cleaned up.

But, please don't touch anything else.

Right. Thank you, PC Wells.

I thought he was going to throw me in the dungeon!

Don't mention it, Paddington.

Now, what would you like to do

for the rest of your birthday, hmm?

Well, if it's all right by you,

I'd rather like to have a look around the Tower of London.

"It was just about the best birthday

"I could have hoped for, Aunt Lucy.

"I saw all of London, met a beefeater,

"and stopped the Crown Jewels being stolen... by me.

"I'd love to show you the Tower of London one day, Aunt Lucy.

"But perhaps we'll use the front door!

"Love from Paddington."
