Paddington at the Circus

Find out what happens when the classic bear from Darkest Peru visits a circus and accidentally finds himself part of the act!

The circus has come to town, and Paddington and the Browns have front row seats! But Paddington becomes anxious when he looks up and sees a man dangling from a rope by his ankles. Always ready to lend a paw, he rushes off to save the trapeze artist and as a result the circus is turned upside down! Paddington, however, comes out on top as the star of the show.

For more than six decades, stories of Paddington Bear have delighted children all over the world.
