Paddington returns to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who is now residing at the home for retired bears. With the Brown family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery sends them on an unexpected journey. The director of the previous two films, Paul King, decided not to direct this installment. However, he pitched the idea for this third film and was involved as an executive producer. Starring in The Graham Norton Show: Billy Crystal/Emily Mortimer/Hugh Bonneville/Pharrell Williams/Michael Kiwanuka (2024). Paddington in Peru is a great and enjoyable film, but it is the weakest of the 3 Paddington films. It looks great on the big screen, the scenery and locations are beautiful, and the CGI of the bears is superb. The acting and story are good, nothing groundbreaking or better than the previous two films, but this third one lacks the charm of those two. I still had a good time watching it. There were some funny moments and it’s a fun family movie. It’s a little silly at times, which would have worked if the charm was there. Overall, it’s still a great movie and worth seeing in theaters.
