"Actor Xian Lim was handpicked by the producers of “Paddington” to voice the eponymous character. In a televised interview on The Buzz on Sunday, Xian said that he auditioned for the role by sending voice tapes to Studio Canal in London."

I can understand why they hired Xian but Ben did a good job. Replacing him like that is an insult. :3

I wouldn't say it's insulting, it's just about business and Ben got paid for his work so he should have no quarrel.
