Paddington in Peru set for UK release on November 8 and US debut in January 2025

"Paddington in Peru" will be released in UK cinemas on November 8 and in the US on January 17, 2025. The film follows Paddington as he returns to Peru with the Brown family to find his Aunt Lucy, leading to a jungle adventure. The new director, Dougal Wilson, aims to capture the charm of previous films but struggles to maintain the same level of humor and chaos. While the film features fun moments, it lacks the physical comedy that defined earlier installments. Despite some shortcomings, the film remains enjoyable. Ben Wishaw voices Paddington well, and Olivia Colman stands out in her role. The story touches on themes of home and belonging, providing a sweet experience for audiences.
