An awfully big adventure for one of literature's very favourite bears. Paddington - replete with multiple jars of marmalade, we're sure - travels not just from the darkest jungles of Peru but from the pages of Michael Bond's many popular stories to a theatre near you on this Friday.
Paddington and recent children's literary adaptation Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day aren't the first to make the trip from storybooks to screens. Far from it. They are just the latest in a long line of cinematic children's book adaptations; films that have allowed audiences to watch the literary worlds of their collective youth spring to life in front of them. From Narnia to Oz and back, join us as we count down what we think are 10 of the best adaptations to date.
Note: This does not include the awesome made-for-tv adaptations like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas orWinnie The Pooh.
