Paddington star’s forgotten British comedy is now on Prime Video

by

As a fan who has traversed the whimsical world of Simon Farnaby’s creations, I must say that his forgotten gem, “Bunny and the Bull,” is a hidden treasure now streaming on Prime Video. Having grown up with his hilarious antics in shows like “Horrible Histories” and the modern-day specter of “Ghosts,” discovering this surreal road trip flick was like stumbling upon a forgotten marmalade sandwich in the back of the kitchen cupboard – still delightfully delicious!

The forgotten British comedy, “Bunny and the Bull,” which was once starred by Simon Farnaby from “Paddington”, can now be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.

The film, titled “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” was directed by Paul King in 2009. Known for directing the first two “Paddington” movies and co-producing the third one, as well as co-writing “Paddington 2” and “Wonka” with Farnaby, this offbeat road trip movie initially received little attention from audiences.

Farnaby, recognized from “Horrible Histories” and “Ghosts”, takes on the lead role of Stephen, an individual who’s been indoors for a full year, reflecting on the peculiar sightseeing trip he once embarked upon that eventually led him to isolate himself from society.

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, it’s a real treat spotting some familiar personas on the big screen. The likes of Noel Fielding from “The Great British Bake Off” and Julian Barratt from “The Great”, both of whom I remember from their hilarious show “The Mighty Boosh”. Not forgetting Richard Ayoade, a face I recognize from “The IT Crowd”. Ah, the nostalgia!

Following a considerable break, the third installment of the beloved series, titled “Paddington in Peru,” finally hit theaters, marking the largest opening weekend for the trilogy and a record-breaking debut for StudioCanal as its producing studio.

According to the Digital Spy review, we referred to the film as a “notch lower,” but emphasized that: “A notch lower in a series of such quality is still an excellent movie that fans of all ages can relish, just like a delightful marmalade sandwich.

…”The movie initially has a bit of a sluggish beginning, but eventually gets traction and serves up a delightful mix of creative, humorous scenes, unexpected jokes, and a touching emotional theme.
