Big news folks! Yep we care bear-ly (sorry) contain ourselves today as the long awaited new Paddington Bear film will be hitting the big screen today!

Paddington Bear has been with us all of our lives and made his first ever appearance way back in 1958 in his very own children's book series. Coming to us from deepest darkest parts of Peru, with his old red fisherman hat, battered brown suitcase (complete with a secret compartment), big blue duffle coat and love of marmalade, Paddington has become and international children's icon and is still huugely loved today by kids and big kids like us.

The story goes, BBC cameraman Michael Bond bought a small toy bear left alone on a shelf in Selfridges store, London, for his wife Brenda. Named Paddington, after the station close to Michael’s home, the bear inspires him to write eight episodes in just over a week which are later published by Williams Collins and quickly became the UK's Best Children’s Novel!

Being made into a simply huuuuge range of books, TV episodes, games toys and more, he's finally hitting the big screen in his first ever feature film!

1) Tom and Jerry were actually lined up to star in 1988 classic flick 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit', sadly legal smegle issues stopped it from ever happening happening. However! The cartoon team had already featured in live action films before including the 1945 'Anchors Aweigh', when Jerry stole the show in a dance sequence with Gene Kelly!
