It's all change at the top of the Rotten Tomatoes leaderboard yet again, as another film has just assumed the mantle of 'best reviewed movie of all time'.

Last year, Lady Bird broke Toy Story 2's record for the most consecutive Fresh ratings on the review aggregate site, only for the Disney Pixar movie to return to the top after Greta Gerwig's film received its first negative review.

But now there's a new champion reigning supreme – and he's, well, an animated bear.

Paddington 2 is now officially Rotten Tomatoes' number one movie after securing 165 certified Fresh reviews.

After the much loved Paddington sequel surpassed Toy Story 2's record by just two Fresh reviews, the series' director Paul King thanked fans for their "overwhelmingly positive response".

Speaking to Rotten Tomatoes, he said: "The Paddington films are a real labour of love. So many people pour their hearts and souls into them for months or even years, hand-crafting every last frame, and we are all incredibly grateful for the overwhelmingly positive response we've had so far.

"We hope it inspires people to go to the cinema to see for themselves if a talking animal film really can be any good, and whether Hugh Grant really can look devilishly handsome even while dressed as a nun. (Clue: yes.)"

But don't crack out the marmalade just yet, as it's pretty likely that it won't stay at the top spot.

"Lady Bird did eventually get a Rotten review, a cruel fate we predict will befall Paddington 2 in time," Rotten Tomatoes warned.
