'Paddington' Bear Arrives in First Teaser for the Holiday Movie

The world's favorite animated bear is headed to the big screen this holiday season, and thankfully we aren't talking about another Yogi Bear sequel. Instead it will be Paddington, the little suitcase-carrying bear in the blue overcoat made popular in the U.K., but has built up an audience here with appearances on Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and HBO. Now the teaser trailer for the CGI/Live-Action film is here, giving us our first look at Paddington in action.

Starring Nicole Kidman, Sally Hawkins, Peter Capaldi, Julie Walters, Jim Brodadbent, Hugh Bonneville, and Colin Firth as the voice of Paddington, this film will chronicle the bear's arrival from Peru and first encounter with the human family that adopts him. Hopefully it will also clue us in to the origin of his love for marmalade sandwiches. Directed by Paul King (The Mighty Boosh) with Harry Potter producer David Heyman on board, Paddington will spread some holiday cheer December 12th 2014.
