They may as well have had him look like that (via CG of course), its not as if a realistic looking CG bear walking about in hat and coat is any more believable
They got Mr Magoo in to to do the animation!
Its that man again!!
I guess, maybe for the older generation, the black hat and blue coat may be more familiar.
But at least I, personally, remember him from the 1997 animation, with a red hat and a blue coat. And to me, that is how Paddington looks like. So no, not everyone remembers him with black hat and blue coat.

I remember him with the yellow hat. I might still have my stuffed Paddington around with that yellow hat. Plus I have the books, with the different hats on the cover.

Forgive the O/T bit of ramble.
The Paddington that I purchased in 1990 also had the Yellow hat. By the time he arrived in his new home in California, he was a bit cranky, but calmed down a bit when he met his new friend Edith. My mom had a remnant of a LIBERTY print that she had made into a dress for Edith. (she even had black felt slippers and white socks!) Both are comfortably ensconced in "The Children's Corner", with a very special "Made Bear" named William. His last stitch was taken on the day that the Duke of Cambridge was born.
No matter how much Paddington evolves and changes, he will still be cherished. Children and Bears belong together, and always will. BTW, Edith was my Mother's Bear...purchased for her in 1918. (G)
I do hope he won't upset Henry...
