Paddington is an iconic literary and TV character, and now he is heading to the big screen with his own feature film.

Yes, the producers of Harry Potter and Gravity are bringing Paddington to cinemas for the first time, and I cannot wait to re-live a piece of my childhood.

To celebrate the release of the film, we have the brand new poster for you to check out.

The movie is based on the much-loved books by Michael Bond, and sees Paul King in the director's chair.

Paddington is only the second feature film from King: he made his debut back in 2009 with Bunny and the Bull. He has also penned the screenplay for the movie.

Oscar winner Colin Firth is set to voice the character of Paddington, and is joined on the cast list by Nicole Kidman, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, and Hugh Bonneville.

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 ...

Paddington is released 28th November.
