Ever since
Michael Bond’s first book, A Bear Called
Paddington, published in 1958, the Peruvian bear has appeared in over one
hundred and fifty books and a number of his own television programmes, from stop motion animation to two-dimensional. He even has his own shop in
Paddington Station, as well as his own statue on Platform One. Now, he’s
already into his second film on the silver-screen. But thankfully, it’s not in
vain.
