Paddington Bear Movie Snow Globe Gift Home Decor 100mm Large

Product Information

In fact a bear bought at Selfridges Store in Oxford Street by Mrs Brenda Bond became the inspiration for Mr Michael Bond to write the stories. These were first published in October 1958 by William Collins with illustrations by Peggy Fortnum.

Paddington is absolutely, positively delightful. This big-screen adaptation of Michael Bond’s * classic, adorable children’s-book character — an exceedingly polite, klutzy, talking bear from “darkest Peru” — takes what could have been an easy cash-grab and turns it into a generous, fun, ingenious little comedy. It’s the kind of movie that turns critics like me into advertising copywriters: Go see it! Your kids will love it! Fun for adults and children alike! Et cetera! Paddington Bear came from Peru but was left behind lost at Paddington Station London presumably originally en route for Heathrow Airport. He was found by Mr and Mrs Brown and the rest is history. More informationAn Exhibition on the history of Paddington Bear has been opened since November 14th 2014 at the Museum of London. More information. In London, he’s temporarily taken in by the Brown family, who are at first divided over what to do with this well-behaved but horrifically clumsy creature. Dad Henry (Hugh Bonneville), a careful insurance analyst who knows the exact amount of risk involved in everything (“34 percent of pre-breakfast accidents involve bannisters!” he yells at his son as the boy slides down the stairs), is skeptical. However, the always colorfully clad mom Mary (the enchanting Sally Hawkins), a children’s illustrator, loves the idea of having a cute talking bear around. The kids are torn, too: Judy (Madeline Harris) is an easily embarrassed teen and doesn’t want anything to do with the stupid talking bear, while younger Jonathan (Samuel Joslin) is a budding inventor and wannabe-astronaut and wants a playmate. Teddy Bears for everyone, a cuddly remembrance of London. Some Teddy Bears are famous like Rupert Bear and Paddington Bear . Teddy Bears are so called because of former US President Theodore ‘Teddy’ Roosevelt. Paddington Bear had tea with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.

A trail of 50 Statues of Paddington Bear were set up around London and in particular Paddington Station ahead of the first film launch. One remains outside the station beside the Paddington Basin Canal. Paddington Bear is a star. Surely even Isambard Kingdom Brunel would have approved, by the way he built the Station and the Railway.
