The movie stars stars Hugh Bonneville, Nicole Kidman, Sally Hawkins, Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters and someone we've never heard of called Peter Capaldi (? - Who could that be!).
Paddington himself is played by Colin Firth. That is to say Colin Firth is providing the voice of a CGI Paddington, as opposed to him being stuffed inside some kind of old-Ewok style costume. Although we'd pay to see that!
Paddington follows the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear with a passion for all things British, who travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he begins to realise that city life is not all he had imagined - until he meets the kindly Brown family, who read the label around his neck ('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.
Ouch!
Paddington arrives on November 28th in the UK and December 12th in the US.
