The director of the previous two films, Paul King, decided not to direct this installment
Story
Paddington returns to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now lives at the Bear Retirement Home. With the Brown family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery takes them on an unexpected journey. However, he pitched the idea for this third film and was involved as an executive producer..
This is just another jungle adventure movie
Starring Graham Norton and guests: Billy Crystal/Emily Mortimer/Hugh Bonneville/Pharrell Williams/Michael Kiwanuka (2024). If, like me, you agree that the first two Paddington films are among the greatest films ever made, this will be both a welcome disappointment and a disappointment. Because it’s not about Paddington adjusting to living with a family in London or how a normal family adjusts to living 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. While the first two were fun for a decrepit old Marx Brothers fan like me, this is definitely more of a family movie clearly aimed at kids. I could say we need more of the Brown family and their neighbors…
let’s say we need Sally Hawkins, but what’s the point
We had all that in the first two and since they were… dare I say, perfect, there’s no point in trying to copy them. So yeah, this is different, it’s horribly over-sentimental at times.
and nothing as funny, but it’s still Paddington
Routine family fun rather than weirdly hilarious cuteness.
