Heyday Films and StudioCanal have today released the first teaser trailer for their Winter family film Paddington. Based loosely on Michael Bond's classic Paddington Bear children's novels, this new adaptation will star Colin Firth in the titular role alongside Nicole Kidman, Peter Capaldi and Julie Walters (now you're interested, eh?).
An Oscar shoo-in this probably isn't, but the preview (below) does at least indicate that we're looking at a higher quality benchmark than the increasingly concerning big-screen take on Postman Pat which is also due out this year. If nothing else, however, with the cracking cast ensemble who've climbed aboard this part-animated, part-live action project, Paddington could surprise on the basis of its vocal performances, even if the shock factor doesn't have the same enduring impact as The LEGO Movie did in February. Doubtless, no-one will be denying in ten months' time that this is the perfect Christmas treat for the kiddies.
Paddington stumbles- with its red hat and brown suitcase in tow, naturally- into UK cinemas nationwide on November 28th.
