Karen Jankel, daughter of Paddington's creator, Michael Bond, was almost moved to tears after the first screening she saw. "For me, it was bringing to life the bear that was so real to me. And I think they got it absolutely right."
The character of Paddington Bear is based on a lone teddy bear, noticed by author Michael Bond on a shelf in a London store near Paddington Station on Christmas Eve 1956. Bond bought it as a present for his wife, and was eventually inspired to write a story. The outline of the lonely bear at Paddington Station was inspired by old newsreels showing train-loads of child evacuees leaving London during World War II, with labels around their necks and their possessions in small suitcases.
Nicole Kidman learned to throw and twirl knives for her role as Millicent. She has noted that during shooting, the producers told her to tone down her knife-throwing tricks, as it was considered too intense for a children's movie. Ultimately, the scenes featuring her skills were cut out of this movie.
In the U.K., the popularity of this movie greatly enhanced the sale of marmalade and oranges within the first half of 2015, and served a rise in downloads of marmalade recipes.
Originally, author Michael Bond was nervous about the project of turning his character into a live-action movie. However, he was convinced after seeing half a minute of test footage.
"Paddington: Mrs Brown says that in London everyone is different, and that means anyone can fit in. I think she must be right - because although I don't look like anyone else, I really do feel at home. I'll never be like other people, but that's alright, because I'm a bear. A bear called Paddington."
"Aunt Lucy: You once, there was once a war in the explorer's country. People in England sent their children by train with labels around their necks, so they could be taken care of by complete strangers in the country side where it was safe. They will not have forgotten how to treat strangers."
