PADDINGTON arrives in theaters on January 16!
From the beloved novels by Michael Bond and producer David Heyman (HARRY POTTER), PADDINGTON tells the story of the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw) who travels to the city in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family who read the label around his neck that says “Please look after this bear. Thank you.” and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist.

I love Paddington and the wisdom of his adventures.I have my original Paddington Bear that my father gave me when he was being deployed for 2 years abroad as a fighter pilot. We spoke of the adventures of Paddington in all our letters to each other and he use the icon bear to send me important lesson during his absence.
I have twins I’ve been wanting to get a Paddington Bear for and have been waiting when I learned of the movie being made. Every child needs a Paddington Bear ad more important the message Paddington brings.
