Trivia

All facts 10
  1. The film is based on Michael Bond's series of books about the little bear Paddington.
  2. Paddington Bear was originally going to be voiced by Hugh Laurie or Colin Firth.
  3. The character named Paddington was created by the English writer Michael Bond (he is credited as the screenwriter). One day in a shop in London on Christmas Eve 1956, Bond saw a lonely teddy bear. Bond bought it as a gift for his wife and decided to write a book (it was published in 1958). The plot of the story about a lonely bear at Paddington Station was inspired by old newsreel footage of children being evacuated from London during World War II.
  4. While preparing for the role, Nicole Kidman (who played Millicent) learned to throw knives. She later said that during filming she was told not to show off her skill with bladed weapons so openly, since the film was, after all, intended for children. In the end, those scenes were cut from the film entirely.
  5. The prospect of making a feature film about Paddington initially frightened Michael Bond, but all his fears about whether the project was worthwhile were dispelled as soon as he began watching the test footage.
  6. Nicole Kidman's agent initially did not even want to tell the actress about the opportunity to play Millicent. He mentioned it in passing, clearly expecting Kidman to reject it outright, but the actress reacted to the news with enthusiasm and stated that she wanted to be in the film. It turned out that she had loved Bond's books since childhood and that as a child she had dreamed of having Paddington Bear live in her home.
