A new stage adaptation of Paddington has received rave reviews from critics following its West End premiere. Paddington the Musical, which features new songs by McFly's Tom Fletcher, follows the beloved bear as he arrives in London and is taken in by the Brown family.

Heyday Films' David Heyman, whose credits also include the "Harry Potter" franchise and "Barbie," said, "The globally beloved books of Mr Men and Little Miss offer an irresistible opportunity for a bold and imaginative feature film adaptation."
