I grew up reading about an adorable little bear with a great big personality. His big hat, exciting antics and propah way of doing things, made me love every inch of his furry being.
Thanks to him, I wanted to try marmalade and just this past April, I introduced my kids to this tangy preserve, after watching him waddle across our television screen, on Netflix.
Just a few weeks ago we tried pulling up the cartoon episodes and sadly couldn’t find it any more.
Thankfully my kids have something to look forward to…
Paddington hits the big screen this Christmas!
This Christmas, a small bear will make a big splash. From the beloved novels by Michael Bond and producer David Heyman, PADDINGTON tells the story of the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear 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’ve peeked at the trailer with my Mom and sister and we laughed our heads off. I can’t wait for the kids to get up to share the same with them!
I’m not sure what I’m more excited about…
re-living childhood memories through the comeback of this adorable 56 year old character or watching my kids’ faces light up when they see him set off on a new adventure, duffel coat, red floppy hat and all!
Have you read Paddington Bear books? Or watched any of his cartoons?

We have read the books and think this movie about Paddington the bear is going to be such a cute movie to go see with the Family. I like to see how this movie story turns out.
