Paddington 2 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2017 film Paddington 2 directed by Paul King, which is a sequel to Paddington (2014). Originally, the film was set to be scored by Nick Urata who expressed his interest on returning to the sequel.[1] However, the film was later scored by Dario Marianelli in his first collaboration with King.[2]

Decca Records released the soundtrack on 10 November 2017 alongside the film's theatrical releasee in United Kingdom.[3]

Critical reception

[edit]

Geoffrey Macnab of The Independent summarised "Composer Dario Marianelli's whirling, high tempo score adds to the increasingly frantic feel of the storytelling."[4] Blake Goble of Consequence wrote "There’s even a poppy glockenspiel on the score from Oscar winner Dario Marianelli while these washings occur; this movie is just that upbeat."[5] Guy Lodge of Variety and Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter called it as "lovable" and "charming".[6][7] KT Schaefer of Substream Magazine wrote "Composer Dario Marianelli is a new addition to this film and his beautiful score flows through the scenes and heightens the emotional and comedic beats."[8]

David Ehrlich of IndieWire ranked the album as the tenth best film score of 2018.[9] Ehrlich described Marianelli's work as "colorful but never cloying, sensitive but never saccharine, and always as buoyant and bright-eyed as Paddington himself" and felt it to be "deeper, richer, and more vibrant in every way" in comparison with Urata's score for the predecessor.[10][9] He also voted on Paddington 2 receiving nominations at the 91st Academy Awards for minimum five categories, which included Best Original Score for Marianelli.[10] However, the film did not receive any nominations at the ceremony.[10]
