Who composed the original music for the 2014 film Paddington?
Answer
Nick Urata
Nick Urata composed the original music for the 2014 film Paddington.
Urata’s score supports the film’s blend of family comedy, London adventure and emotional storytelling. It helps distinguish Paddington’s warm, whimsical world from the more suspenseful moments involving the museum’s taxidermist.
The film was directed by Paul King and produced by David Heyman. Its music is separate from the songs performed or featured in the film, so the composer credit refers to the original underscore rather than every piece of music heard on the soundtrack.
Nick Urata is also known for composing music for films such as Little Miss Sunshine and Ruby Sparks. Paddington 2 had a different original-score composer, Dario Marianelli, which is a common source of confusion.
