User Reviews

Wonderful Children's Series

I remember as a kid watching this when it used to air on the show "Pinwheel." I loved each of the adventures Paddington Bear used get into, and the stop-action animation (think Gumby) made this show fun to watch! I hope children of today will get to experience this wonderful show...its a heck of a lot better then what kids are exposed to today.
