In 1958, a little marmalade-loving brown bear from Peru named Paddington was introduced to the post-war British public. Please Look After This Bear analyses the titular character's transformation from displaced Peruvian bear to member of a wealthy, upper-class West London family, raising questions about migration, assimilation, tolerance, and national identity.
