The director of the previous two films, Paul King, has decided not to direct this installment
Tale
Paddington returns to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who is now residing at the Retired Bears Home. With the Brown family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey.
However, he pitched the idea for this third film and was involved as an executive producer
Featured on The Graham Norton Show: Billy Crystal/Emily Mortimer/Hugh Bonneville/Pharrell Williams/Michael Kiwanuka (2024). Paddington in Peru is a great and fun film, however, it is the weakest of the three Paddington films.
Still, I had a good time watching this
It looks great on a big screen, the scenery and locations are beautiful and the CGI of the bears looks great. The acting and story are fine, nothing groundbreaking or better than the previous two films, but the charm of those two is missing in this third one.
It had some funny moments and is a fun family film
It's a little silly at times, which would have worked if the charm was there. Overall, it's still a great movie that's worth seeing in the theater.
