Taking after the two critically acclaimed Paddington films, “Paddington in Peru” scored 93% in film and television rating platform Rotten Tomatoes, garnering praises from audiences and film critics for its unique story, animation, and humor.
Set in the rainforests of the Amazon, the third and latest installment sees Paddington in a brand new and exciting adventure with the Brown family as they look for his beloved Aunt Lucy who had gone missing in Peru.
The film stars Hugh Bonneville, Emily Mortimer, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Imelda Staunton, Carla Tous, Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, Olivia Colman, Antonio Banderas, and Ben Whishaw returning as the voice of Paddington.
Here’s what critics have to say:
“Paddington in Peru is, as any Paddington adventure should be, fast and buoyant and disarmingly sunny in a way that viewers who weren’t alive — or at least of cinemagoing age — for the 2017 release of Paddington 2 will lap up.” — Variety
“Although returning players Hugh Bonneville, Madeleine Harris and Samuel Joslin as the other three Brown family members make significant contributions along with Mortimer, no one can hold the screen with a hard stare like Paddington. He pulls off one his best here, a perfectly calibrated study in facial movement, lighting (particularly in the brown-gold glitter of his eyes) and comic timing.” — The Hollywood Reporter
“Dotted with waterfalls and piranhas, double crosses and Inca riddles, the Browns’ jungle quest is the subject of a wholesome, well-constructed, richly coloured adventure yarn with just enough of the eccentric charm, animated interludes and musical numbers that make the Paddington series what it is,” — BBC
“While it’s never didactic or heavy-handed about its messaging, Paddington in Peru also offers an idea of Britishness that’s multifaceted and modern, as the titular bear celebrates his official status as a citizen of the U.K. while reconnecting with his Peruvian roots,” — Slant
Set off with friends, family, and the wonderful Paddington, as “Paddington in Peru” arrives in Philippine theaters on January 29.
