The British bear flies away to Peru in the third episode of the family films franchise, in theaters on February 5, 2025. But is this part of expectations? Our criticism.
On February 5, 2025, young and old can rush into dark rooms to discover the new adventures of the most endearing bear in Britain. Paddington in PeruThird episode of the franchise, sees the Brown family flying to Latin America where Aunt Lucy disappeared from the house of retired bear where she lived. Paddington and the rest of the troop then embarked on a trip to the heart of the Amazon to find it.
The first two episodes of Padadingtonmade by Paul King and available on Disney+, had enchanted young and old by skillfully controlling the ideal recipe for family entertainment: Slap Stick humor, an adventure full of twists, a clever subtext on immigration in great- Brittany in the light of Brexit, and a lot of tenderness, all carried by a British casting in tune (Ben Wishaw Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Hugh Grant …). The critical and popular success is there: the first film released in 2015 has 80% of public opinion from the public, and the second is better, with a note of 89%.
Our criticism of Paddington in Peru
Seven years after the excellent second episode, Dougal Wilson takes over to tell new adventures of Paddington. Let fans be reassured, the fundamentals are still there: the bear is always more endearing, its adventures under the sign of a return to the origins always as overwhelming and hectic, carried by a five -star cast with this time this time Antonio Banderas and Olivia Colman in the second roles. We find with pleasure the bear and its band in these new adventures which do not lack rhythm and this charming humor which had made the trademark of the exported franchise across the Atlantic.
On the other hand, those who expect to discover an episode both (even better) that the first two films may be disappointed. This Paddington in Peru does not have the same pop and boosted magic that Paul King had breathed in. If the film remains funny, it is not as hilarious as the others and sometimes pushes the nail too much about its intrigues and its twists and turns. Entertainment remains very good outfit and whole pleasure … But it lacks this “little extra thing”, this originality and this creativity, which made the undeniable charm of the first episodes. Paul King paw, certainly.
Synopsis – The third part of the adventures of the Paddington bear who returns to Peru, his country of origin, to visit his aunt Lucy, at the Maison des Ours retired.
