Paddington is set to hit the big screen at the end of next month, and promises to be the family film that is not to be missed.
Paddington
Paddington is one of the most iconic bears of all time, and he is set for more adventures as the Michael Bond stories are recognised on film.
The movie sees Paul King on directing and writing duties, in what is his first film since Bunny and the Bull back in 2009.
Ben Whishaw has been brought on to bring the character of Paddington alive, and you can see him in action in this brand new trailer:
Whishaw is just one of the names on a truly terrrific cast list, as Nicole Kidman, Michael Gambon, Peter Capaldi, Imelda Staunton, Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, and Jim Broadbent are all on board.
We have been treated to some really great ensemble casts in 2014, but Paddington has brought together some wonderful actors - and there is so much British talent also on show in this film.
Paddington has grown up deep in the Peruvian jungle with his Aunt Lucy who, inspired by a chance encounter with an English explorer, has raised her nephew to dream of an exciting life in London.
When an earthquake destroys their home, Aunt Lucy decides to smuggle her young nephew on board a boat bound for England, in search of a better life.
Arriving alone at Paddington Station, Paddington soon finds that city life is not all he had imagined - until he meets the kindly Brown family, who find him with a label tied around his neck which reads 'Please look after this bear. Thank you.'
They offer him a temporary home whilst he searches for the explorer who impressed Aunt Lucy all those years before. But when Paddington catches the eye of a sinister, seductive taxidermist, it isn't long before his home - and very existence - is under threat ...
So, if you are looking for some family friendly fun on the big screen this November, look no further than Paddington as this iconic character is set to be introduced to a whole new generation.
Paddington is released 28th November.
