ABOUT THE PADDINGTON MOVIE
Having been the subject of countless books and TV episodes, Paddington Bear is coming to the big screen for the very first time in a magical adventure film.
Paddington has grown up deep in the Peruvian jungle with his Aunt Lucy. When an earthquake destroys their home, Lucy decides to smuggle her young nephew on board a boat bound for England, in search of a better life. Arriving alone at Paddington Station, Paddington soon finds that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family. But when Paddington catches the eye of a sinister, seductive taxidermist, it isn’t long before his new home – and very existence – is under threat...
PADDINGTON brings together an all-star cast, with Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Monuments Men) and Sally Hawkins (Made in Dagenham, Blue Jasmine) as Mr. & Mrs. Brown, Nicole Kidman (The Hours, Moulin Rouge) as the evil taxidermist, Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter, The Iron Lady) as Mr. Gruber and Peter Capaldi (Dr. Who) as the Browns' neighbour, Mr. Curry. The film is directed by Paul King (The Mighty Boosh) and produced by David Heyman (Gravity, the Harry Potter series).
First launched in 2013, ZOOBE is an iPhone and Android app which allows the creation of customized video avatar messages. Since its first launch, ZOOBE is now counting 1.8 million app downloads and more than 70 million created video messages. Founder and CEO of Zoobe is the award-winning filmmaker Leonard F. Krawinkel. ZOOBE uses a patent-protected speech recognition technology to synch the lip movements of an animated cartoon avatar with the audio recording of a user. Within seconds, an individual cartoon video message is created which can then be messaged on a one-to-one basis or be shared independently via an accessible link. The technical framework of ZOOBE is provided as an SDK for integration in other apps and is also available as a white-label solution for brands and partners who seek to create their own customized cartoon avatar apps.
