As of November 27, 2017, Lady Bird held the distinction of being the highest rated movie of all time on Rotten Tomatoes — with 165 reviews, all at a 100% fresh rating. It edged out longtime favorite and previous title holder Toy Story 2 (163 reviews) for the honor. But a fuzzy new contender has emerged to capture the hearts and ratings of reviewers everywhere.
Who has snatched the record from Lady Bird‘s hands with his charmingly icky, marmalade-sticky paws? Paddington.
#Paddington2 sets the record for the film with the most reviews to remain at 100% on the #Tomatometer! https://t.co/xLoCo4fq4E

And Paddington fans are a passionate bunch:

Loved Paddington 2, a great movie about if my dog was a talking bear and also maybe about prison reform and immigration rights? Truly deserving of its 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Like, really passionate:
Paddington Bear 2 has broken the record for best reviewed film of all time on Rotten Tomatoes and there is therefore some justice in the world.

Others vowed to get to the theaters to see what all the fuss is about:

Though there seems to be no arguing its inherent entertainment value, some folks are questioning its new distinction:

But I’d think twice before tampering with its rating:
