Is anything as improbable as a "feel-good" movie that actually leaves us feeling terrific? How about two of them in the same series?

The Paddington films preach a message of acceptance that's no less straightforward than that of The Shape of Water, encouraging viewers to share in the hero's tolerant worldview.
