I am outraged!
I have seen the trailer for the new Paddington film and, shock horror! IT'S NOT PADDINGTON.
We all know what Paddington looks like. He is his own brand. To get this imposter to play him is outrageous.
Who will join me in my campaign to tie myself up at Paddington station, eat marmalade sandwiches and complain bitterly that Paddington should be in his own film?

"Have they got his voice right? Was gutted Colin left."
Nothing is right.
This imposter has nothing of Paddington about him at all. I can't imagine this bear doing Singin' in the Rain. |

"Hmmmm not quite right is it!
"
We need to start the boycott now. You know they will be selling film merchandise, made in China no doubt, that will feature THIS bear as Paddington.
Slowly but surely the read Paddington will be seen as the imposter in the way that the Scissor Sisters were thought to have written Comfortably Numb. It's wrong, wrong, wrong.

You have a look. I can't bear to find out whether they have removed his duffle coat and label.

"What madness is this, just googled it and that is clearly NOT PADDINGTON!
See, you didn't know until I started this campaign.
"
It's important that you raise awareness of this issue. A generation of children could be fooled by this imposter. |

That's definitely NOT Paddington! I'll join you. I'll bring my bed restraints to tie myself to the railings. Please can I have lemon marmalade though? He's got bare feet too! Where are his wellies?  |

"I propose a challenge to raise awareness.
A...um...er...standing in a bucket of marmalade challenge!!!
Or something.
Save Paddington! Look after the bear! Please."
Spread the word. I wonder if I can get a marmalade manufacturer to support this campaign? |

"Doesn't look in the least bit Peruvian!
I shall write a displeased letter to my MP.
As for the Paddington protest - I'm in. Have we set a date yet?
A"
No but I am getting concerned that I can't get the real Paddington involved. He's ignored my message. Has he been kidnapped by the imposter? |

"Looks more like a bloody fox than Paddington. Outraged  "
My sister has just given me her theory that the real Paddington pulled out of the film when Firth did. I have to consider this.

"I had to have a look with all this noise and kerfuffle going on.....i did find the bathroom clip rather amusing
Are you willing to accept the imposter bear then?"
its obviously been polished, designed by consumer testing, straight teeth, will probably be wearing some sort of branded outfit for extra marketing points and is, as usual, targeted at the American market- its an entirely different Paddington in the same way that American football involves little connection between ball and foot and the World series doesn't operate outside the states.
It could have been worse, Studio Canal (producers/distributors) are French, so Paddington could have been wearing a beret and burning sheep |

"Where were you all when Disney got ahold of Pooh and turned him into a travesty of his English self?"
I know - that one is outrageous too but at least he has a resemblance of Pooh (until he speaks).

"Can I raise another bear issue ? Winnie the Pooh....his voice is just creepy....right now old marmalade paws is far more appealing "
Pooh has been raised and I agree about his voice.
The 50 'Paddington Bear' statues around London for the NSPCC will have everyone believing this is Paddington. Then it gets reinforced in the shops.

I'm a disgrace. I'll report back. A veri on Paddington.
I read somewhere there was an issue with it being rated PG. I hope I won't be offended |

Innuendo and Kidman being scary but the real issue for the rating is whether children would copy the Bear doing dangerous things.

Then I agree to pledge allegiance to your cause. I still have a small original Paddington bear pencil top from my childhood. It shall be my weapon of choice. |

Good man! I suggest you also watch Paddington Does Singing in the Rain to remind yourself how marvellous Paddington is.

It is as I feared: my family and friends have been won over. They enjoyed the film and decided it didn't matter that Paddington didn't have the staring role as the bear/thing that played him was sweet.

This film is going to encourage people to want bears for Xmas , same thing happened with Dalmatians in that cruella film , then when they get big people will just set them free in the countryside ...pretty soon we will have bears shitting in the woods and everything , they haven't thought this through at all ! |

Maybe they'll shit on cars instead of in the woods (see omg thread).

I have been to see it today and its a lovely film. My son has a Paddington bear who has a blue hat, red duffel coat and blue wellies which I got from a charity shop about 6 years ago. He has been moved into my son's bed now! |

Will he want the bear from the film as well though?

My Paddington bear will be forty years old soon. He still resides in my bedroom. |

Think about it please. Paddington is getting on a bit now, and this is about when he arrived in London. As with most hollywood output, they had to get a younger, thinner actor in. They could have got one that looked a bit more like him though. (I can't quite believe I just wrote this!!) |

Here starteth the support Paddington campaign...going to watch it this weekend, the trailer is absolutely FAB, leave your hang ups at home and enjoy! Sometimes it is necessary to embrace change, you know, like loving the new mini and getting on with the new sized Cadbury's cream eggs  |
