Trivia
This series is animated in a unique way: the only 3D figure animated in stop-motion is Paddington himself while every other character is animated in paper cutouts.

Alternate versions
First shown in the USA in 1981. The 30-minute American shows were edited together from five original 5-minute episodes, with new introductions by Joel Grey. The success of this series prompted the creation of the three 30-minute specials of 1984.

Fun for the whole family!

"Paddington Bear" was a big thing, even before the films came out! So this TV show had to live up to high expectations. But it smashed all expectations! The classic feel 👌. The story telling 👌. The practical effects 👌. Everything was to die for! Paddington in this looks so cute. The way how they keep it so accurate by basically just reading the book is just *chef's kiss*. What more can I say. If you've got kids or you're a die-hard Paddington fan, this is definitely for you. If I had to rate this, it would be a solid 9 out of 10! Practical effects are amazing in this show, controlling Paddington's puppet. Storytelling is on par with the films of today. Definitely watch this NOW!
