The Weinstein Company’s new trailer for Paddington is an improvement over their initial offerings, with this trailer showing more of the CGI animated bear’s personality. Written and directed by Paul King and based on Michael Bond’s popular children’s books, Paddington is voiced by Ben Whishaw and stars Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Nicole Kidman, Imelda Staunton, and Julie Walters.
Paddington opens in theaters on January 16, 2015.
The Plot:
From the beloved novels by Michael Bond and producer David Heyman (Harry Potter), Paddington tells the story of the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear who travels to the city in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family who read the label around his neck that says “Please look after this bear. Thank you,” and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist.
