Review of "The
Adventures of Paddington"
1/25/20 by

airs Mondays on Nick, Jr.

Paddington Bear has been around since 1958 in books, films and television.
It's a very popular children's entertainment about a bear from Peru who goes to
live with an English family, The Browns. Paddington is very polite but sometimes
clumsy. He gets into different jams. Along the way, the children watching learn
good lessons.
This new TV series on Nickelodeon is no different. Each
half hour episode teaches kids a great lesson. The shows are very cute and fun.
Paddington is adorable. The animation is very good. I think anyone, especially
young children, should enjoy this series.
Ben Whishaw, who played
Paddington in the two movies, also voices him here. He's a great actor. You
might recognize him from "A Very English Scandal," "Mary Poppins Returns," or
the upcoming James Bond film.

British-born writer Michael Bond has delighted children and
families all over the world with his stories about

charm and humour of the Paddington stories is the key to
their enduring popularity.
Paddington’s adventures have

further film Paddington 2 followed in 2017 with a third in
