The director of the previous two films, Paul King, decided not to direct this installment

Paddington returns to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now lives at the Bear Retirement Home. With the Brown family at the helm, an exciting adventure ensues when a mystery takes them on an unexpected journey. However, he came up with the idea for this third film and served as executive producer.

Paddington in Peru is a pretty wonderful, if unremarkable, film

Starring Graham Norton and guests: Billy Crystal/Emily Mortimer/Hugh Bonneville/Pharrell Williams/Michael Kiwanuka (2024). Sure, it doesn’t quite reach the heights of Paddington 2, but it’s probably on par with the first. With a different director at the helm, this film also takes a different angle, taking the action outside of London and setting it in the jungles of Peru.

It creates an interesting enough story that flows quite well and maintains a decent pace

This is probably a wise choice, as it helps the film feel fresh and different compared to the other two. It also makes room for a slightly different type of story, perhaps more adventurous and exciting. The humor is a bit mediocre, but it’s definitely geared more towards kids, so it just reflects my age more than anything.

It’s nice and tender

I also think the emotional side is a bit lacking. I remember Paddington 2 making me cry, but this one feels a little more tender. I actually think that word sums up this movie.

Everything from Paddington 2 is toned down a notch or two, but it still makes for a perfectly enjoyable and enjoyable experience
