#holy schist this is long oop lmaoooo

[an-honest-puck]

a collection of highlights and viewing notes from 'The Wizard of Paddington Station' because I don't have the time to liveblog while watching but I do have thoughts

(also: holy heck this got long XD)

I'm sorry to start this way but: the protagonist having a dead mother? yeah, that's a D1sney movie alright

in a more positive reflection of this movie: mate this was WHOLESOME AF OMG

so many good Hen quotes!!!!!! the man's a genius!!!!!

"Power! End of song." - Hen

"I do love an exaggerated scroll" - Hen

"And yet! A doubt circles me. Represented by this hoop. *holds up the headband/circlet from props* I reach through the hoop and pull out the doubt. Do you see what the doubt is?" - Hen, lowkey turning everything into a magic show XD

so many hat bits pfffff lololol

Bry's little "Oh! My hat!" when her hat gets taken away!!! D:

Hen: You are demoted to a hatless position.

Bry: I will walk a hatless existence 😔

give her character back her hat she's so sadddd DX

Bry: Could I have a hat with a pom pom on it, sire?

Hen *trying to pause dramatically but really checking the props hat rack*: ... Yes, we have one of those.

I don't think I've heard of a spell that terrifies me more than the tax-based spells from this movie /jk

any time Hen just declares "End of song" is gold lmaooo

Nancy and Josh as bins XD

"Hello, love! How are ya, darling?" - Nancy, as a bin lolol

Petunia (Ellie): What would I do without you two [bins]?

Bin #2 (Josh): Probably litter.

^ award for best unnoticed line goes to (which wasn't even the award of the night lmao)

I did not realise how much this highlights reel was just quotes but boy howdy there are just so many good ones XD

"You've only gone and put the hat in a portal, you mug" - Nancy, rather affectionately lol

the tickets!!!! don't put them in the bin!!!!! D:

Bry: I could delay people's taxes with this hat!

Hen: Certainly. You can cause massive inconvenience in a whole new other branch of public service.

Josh miming all the instruments in that one musical number lololol

Nancy: I missed the birth of my child child child

Nancy: I missed my child's 7th birthday birthday birthday

Josh: I missed my birth birth birth

hello can someone please tell me why 'Half Wizard' is one of the most audibly pleasing songs I've ever listened to?????????

Josh Elliot strikes again with his lovely baritone (?) good lord-

also, who does that "wi-i-i-zard!" line?! because it's either Bry or Niall and I know who I want it to be I like to think Niall's got the range lol

not Bry and Niall giving their ticket characters the most heartwrenching/heartwarming character backstories and arcs!!!!! 😭

everyone: THERE'S NOT ONLY ONEEEEEE / WIZARD OF PADDINGTONNNNN / THE WIZARD OF PADDINGTONNNN / IS IN FACT / IS IN FACT / IS IN FACT / EVERY-

Nancy: O- *no one else is singing*

Hen: *deliberately making everyone pause*

everyone: *trying not to break too badly*

everyone: ... ONEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Bryony: to the moon!
