'Zoobe' Messaging App Features Paddington

Zoobe is bringing StudioCanal's newest film star, Paddington Bear, to smartphones around the world in its mobile messaging app.

Designed to accompany the recently released feature film, the app now features a 3D animated Paddington character that can be customized to create personal video messages. Users can also choose from a number of pre-recorded Paddington videos, and the videos can then be shared via text messaging or social media.

The Paddington character is available for free in "Zoobe" for the next few weeks and will be available for purchase as a premium character thereafter.
