In 2014, Britain's favorite marmalade-loving bear came to life in the first live action adaptation of A Bear Called Paddington, the classic children's book by English author Michael Bond. On June 10th, 2014 a still from the film was released to promote Paddington. The picture featured a grinning CGI Paddington Bear standing in front of Buckingham Palace in his blue duffle coat, floppy hat, and carrying a shabby briefcase. Something about the image inspired the internet, because people began placing the modest little bear into various horror film scenes and labeling the memes #creepypaddington. Instead of the terrifying twins in The Shining, there was Paddington at the end of the hall. Instead of a baby xenomorph popping out of John Hurt's stomach, it was Paddington. Even though this trend peaked several years ago, Photoshop enthusiast and film buff @jaythechou has expanded the theme beyond the horror genre. Every single day since March 9th, 2021, @jaythechou has photoshopped Paddington into a different movie and posted the result to either Reddit or Twitter. Thanks to @jaythechou, we can now imagine a parallel universe in which every movie, from Shrek to Saló, or the 120 Days of Sodom, features Paddington Bear.
