Paddington, Peru Stateside finally came out this week, and thankfully enough entry into the Studio Canal franchise. It is directed by Dougal Wilson, who took over the reins from Paul King. King hello the first two films and has story credits for this third film. The script was co-written by James Lamont and John Foster, the duo behind Paddington’s recent animation show, and the new film team is closely attached to the formulas of the two previous films.
Ben Whishaw returns Paddington Bear to his voice. Paddington Bear challenges Peru to find Aunt Lucy (voiced by Imelda Stanton) after receiving news from Bear’s retirement mother (Olivia Colman) that she has wandered mysteriously into the Amazon. He is not alone on a trip to South America. The brown family will also tag along, asking for a final family outing before becoming an empty nest. The crew includes former actors Hugh Bonneville, Mr. Brown and Madeline Harris as Judy, Samuel Jocelyn is Jonathan and Julie Walters as Mrs. Bird, and Emily Mortimer is Mrs. Brown of Sally Hawkins. I will take over the role.
Mortimer brings different traits to Mrs. Brown, who feels like an alternative timeline in the house. Her resistance and nurturing nature is much more subdued. It completely changes the family dynamics and the story told here. This has grown enough for Mrs. Brown to deal with Judy and Jonathan to get out and go to college. This is about Hawkins’s more individualistic and adventurous Mrs. Brown might not be appropriate (I think Hawkins and Bonneville had a more trustworthy couple vibe). However, in some respects, this helps to migrate roles between performers. This eased us into the film with meeting Mrs. Brown along with flashbacks and a new version of Paddington. Still, it will take some time to get used to this new brown family.

For the film that takes us from London, Paddington, Peru Mostly they play safely. Antonio Banderas appears as Hunter Cabot, a charismatic guide with a boat (he didn’t play this character at the end Indiana Jones? ) Who will help the Browns find Aunt Lucy along the Amazon? He and his sailor daughter Gina (Carla Two) agree to help the Browns, but for Cabot, it leads to the temptation to hunt El Dorado’s gold, where Paddington’s origins are somehow connected. That’s how Eldorado Quest feels Mud lib Generic tropes were not sold at first. In addition to that, the first two acts are packed into a predictable set of sets that remix elements of the first two films, leading to the villains giving the same energy as the Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant villains. Masu. A journey to El Dorado will take you through some laughs, but you’ll feel pointlessly slapstick in a way that feels unevenly paced.
Fans of whimsical confusion and chaos have come to expect from the Kings Paddington The film he treated with full attention to the pace makes the theme of this rather troubling film more clear and disappears until the last act. Peru It feels like they’ve achieved that position in the franchise. Mrs. Brown deals with the sky of the nest, and Cabots break the generational curse with a light wink in the roles of exploration and religion when it comes to colonization. But it’s Paddington’s journey in all films, from being unaccepted in London to returning to his country to understand where he belongs, and that Paddington, Peru They skillfully deal with the xenophobic ignorance that is often projected on marginalized people where they arrive. Paddington was affirming in every way, which made us weep. Paddington, Peru It’s not perfect, but it left us one thing. You can’t wait for Paddington’s next chapter.
Paddington, Peru It will open on February 14th.
