‘Paddington’ Gets the Deluxe 4K Ultra HD Steelbook Treatment From Lionsgate Limited

Paddington the beloved bear, based on Michael Bond's stories, is returning in a deluxe 4K Ultra HD steelbook edition from Lionsgate Limited. This is the bear's US 4K debut. Pre-orders are now open with a November 10 release date. The bear's story revolves around his misadventures as he travels from his destroyed rainforest home to England in search of a new residence.

He is discovered and temporarily sheltered by the Brown family, Henry and Mary, when he is met with the unscrupulous museum taxidermist, Nicole Kidman. The first film in the franchise is described as a "timeless, whimsical story about courage, love, and the bonds of family."

The 4K steelbook edition includes all the legacy special features from previous releases such as "Meet the Characters," "When a Bear Comes to Stay," "From Page to Screen," "Shine" music video, "The Making of 'Shine'" featuring Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams, and the theatrical trailer. Additionally, it features a new special feature from Lionsgate Limited titled "Please Look After This Bear."
