Paul King, the director of the previous two films, has decided not to direct this part
Scenario
Paddington returns to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now lives in a retirement home for bears. Accompanying the Brown family, they have an exciting adventure when a mystery takes them on an unexpected journey. However, he came up with the idea for this third film and was involved as an executive producer.
This is just another jungle adventure film
Graham Norton and the guests: Billy Crystal/Emily Mortimer/Hugh Bonneville/Pharrell Williams/Michael Kiwanuka (2024) are involved in the film. If, like me, you agree that the first two Paddington films are among the greatest films ever made, this will be both a pleasant surprise and a disappointment. Because it is not about Paddington adjusting to life with a family in London or how a normal family adjusts to life with a bear, it loses its original charm and certainly its humor.
but with a bear
It has a different feel to it – more sentimental and noticeably less funny. If the first two were fun for a jaded old Marx Brothers fan like me, this is definitely more of a family film, clearly aimed at kids. You could say we need more of the Brown family and their neighbours…
So yeah, it’s different, it’s terribly over-sentimental
you could also say we need Sally Hawkins, but what’s the point. We had it all in the first two, and since they were… dare I say, perfect, there’s no point in trying to copy them.
Everyday family entertainment, not a fun, weird genteelness
sometimes and nothing as funny, but it’s still Paddington.
