I photoshop Paddington into a movie or TV show every day until I forget

July 22, 2022 4:49 PM

Meet Jason Chou - when he isn't studying to be a VFX artist, he is photoshopping Paddington Bear into your favorite movies, tv shows and video games.

His work can be found on reddit, where the project originated, or on twitter.

He recently hit 500 days of Paddington.

Riot Jarick Simbol is keeping track of the movies Chou has already used in this project on letterboxd.

Discussion of the objectively brilliant Paddington movies can also be found over on Fanfare, should you wish to contribute your thoughts: Paddington and Paddington 2

I love that Twitter only shows me some of these. Spotting the posts is the first round of the game, then I look for Paddington, and finally I try to identify the original show/movie.

I especially like the ones where he puts Paddington in as background art, like this for example.

Ah well this is lovely, thank you.

Now I just need someone to do the same with the "real" Paddington - the 1970s BBC one.

Much like Doctor Who, everyone has their own real Paddington, depending when they first discovered him (it's just that Paddington's only regenerated once, in his on-screen life, at least). For me it'll always be the black hat and the 2d hand-drawn surroundings!

It does seem kind of a shame that he did Singing in the Rain and missed the opportunity to use the Paddington from Paddington Goes to the Movies for that. But all the Paddingtons are very good bears.
