I love Paddington Bear! When I stayed over my Grandma's house as a kid, I always stayed in the room with the Paddington wallpaper, hehe. A memory forever etched into the mind!

I always liked the little stop-motion animation when I was a kid. It came on Nickelodeon's Pinwheel show.

Oh yeah! That's right! Pinwheel was great, it had so much going on. Sort of a poor man's Sesame Street, hehe, but in a good way. :smile:

I loved the stop motion version on Pinwheel too Kev! Man, that brings me back!

I have a special Paddington Bear Christmas ornament, he's always been one of my very favorite bears. I saw on Google this morning that it was his birthday, so very awesome!

I remember Hanna Barbera made an animated Paddington Bear cartoon back in 1989. Charlie Adler voiced Paddington while Mr. Curry was voiced by none other than Tim Curry.

I always liked Paddington. I remember going to London when I was younger and visiting Paddington Station. It was a sweet experience.
