"Paddington Bear creator shocked as film censor deems movie's sex and violence unsuitable for young children "

Zitat The Independent, 25 Nov 2014

Michael Bond said he was “very upset” after the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) warned that big-screen debut of the children’s book featured sex references, bad language and dangerous behaviour.

The BBFC warns that “parents should consider whether ... content may upset younger, or more sensitive, children” on films awarded a Parental Guidance (PG) certificate.

A homoerotic comic sequence in which “a man disguised as a woman is flirted with by another man” was flagged up by the censors for containing “mild sex references.”

The board also warned: “There are occasional sequences of mild threat when Paddington is chased by the villain who threatens to kill and stuff him, as well as a brief sequence in which Paddington lies unconscious on a table while a taxidermist prepares their tools nearby.”

Dangerous behaviour which may be imitated by children includes “Paddington hiding from a villain inside a refrigerator and riding on a skateboard while holding on to a bus, as well as a brief scene of a boy strapping fireworks to his shoes.”

A single mumbled use of “bloody” also attracted the BBFC’s attention. The censors advised: “Parents should consider whether the content may upset younger, or more sensitive, children.”
