The Adventures of Paddington Bear (The Complete Time-Life Library)

Amazon.com

Dear Aunt Lucy, I've just compiled 42 of my favorite stories into a tidy little collection, called The Adventures of Paddington Bear. Do you remember all the post cards I've sent you from around the world? Well, now children (perhaps 3- to 7-year-olds) can learn from these many international adventures of mine. Imagine a little bear such as I nearly becoming a NASA astronaut, a Chinese acrobat, or a sumo wrestler! Whether at home in England or abroad, kind words and marmalade sandwiches often save the day. Each story in my 300-minute collection unfolds like the classic Paddington Bear tales told by author Michael Bond, and contains delightful animation with high attention to detail. One minor curiosity: the little booklet enclosed with the collection proves as chaotic as my trip through the London underground. Best to ignore it, pop in a show, and enjoy a lovely marmalade sandwich! Fondly, --PB (as told to Liane Thomas)

Customer Reviews:

As Paddington would say, "this DVD set is very good value." .......2006-08-19

The animation is absolutely beautiful. Each adventure is short but sweet. Some of the adventures are adapted from the books, but many of them are original. They'll keep your children entertained for hours. I've found that they'll also entertain adults as well. I personally prefer this series as opposed to the FilmFair one. Paddington's facial expressions are priceless.

Great Buy.......2006-03-17

Great quality .. Works perfectly fine... nothing drastically different from what you saw on TV so no unpleasant surprises which usually tend to pop up on these things (think youre buying what you saw on tv and its not quite the same thing.. NOT the case here). ENJOY!

Paddington Bear VHS box set.......2005-09-11

This VHS is much better than the newer DVD; because it has
what looks like a real teddy, acting out the story as opposed to a cartoon one on the newer DVD.
I have both and a few VHS tapes from the 1980"s.

Paddington Bear.......2004-12-15

I like it. I wonder they going have all the Adventures of Paddington Bear on DVD.

Great, but.......2003-01-23

This would be a 5 star review if only the box contained both DVD's.I hope it was only my copy that was incomplete, but be warned anyway.
