4/5 stars
Following up Paddington 2, one of the best reviewed films of all time, was never going to be easy. If that was The Godfather Part II of children’s film sequels, the concern was that a third outing would suffer by comparison.
Added to which, director Paul King, who brought his magic to the first two parts, was stepping aside. As was Sally Hawkins, who played Mrs Brown, part of the London family that adopts Paddington, the little bear with a love of marmalade sandwiches and a nose for chaos.
Thankfully, Paddington in Peru manages to ride these choppy waters, even if it never touches the eye-moistening brilliance of its predecessor.
PADDINGTON IN PERU – New Trailer – Paddington Bear returns!
As the title suggests, Paddington returns to his native land to see Aunt Lucy, who now lives in a Home for Retired Bears run by nuns and situated near the Amazon jungle.
When Paddington (voiced again by the perfect Ben Whishaw) gets word from the Reverend Mother (Olivia Colman, hammy) that his beloved relative is feeling sad, he and the Browns take flight to visit.
