From iwatchstuff, Warner Bros. and Harry Potter producer David Heyman have announced plans to bring children's book star Paddington Bear to screens. Variety says the production will likely blend live-action with a CGI Paddington in the same style as such cinematic classics as Garfield, Stuart Little, and Garfield 2: A Tail of Two Kitties, which should lend the character a nightmarishly disturbing, not-quite-real quality.
In the books, Paddington Bear was found at Paddington Station wearing a duffle coat, hat and Wellington boots, carrying a suitcase containing an empty jar of marmalade and wearing a label around his neck that reads "Please look after this bear, thank you." It's unclear how the tale will translate to modern times, where such a sight would clearly be seen as a bomb threat and destroyed by a police squad.

AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!
As someone who was as devoted to her Paddington Bear as a person can be to a stuffed animal, this sucks.
Do you still have your childhood Paddington? I remember it was in pretty shabby shape when we were kids. Perhaps you could bring it to the doll doctor?
I do still have my Paddington. He is in very shabby shape, well-loved I like to say. He resides on a shelf in Jake's room next to a Paddington that Octo got for Jake before he was born. The "new" Paddington resembles the one my parents got for me when I was six: blue coat, yellow hat, no boots. Octo found a matching one on E-bay for me. What a good uncle.
