Paddington in Peru (also known as Paddington 3) is the 2024/2025 third installment in the beloved Paddington franchise, officially released in UK theaters in November 2024 and in the U.S. on January 17, 2025 .
When a letter arrives alerting Paddington that his beloved Aunt Lucy has gone missing from the “Home for Retired Bears” in Peru, he and the Brown family set off on a heartwarming and high‑stakes quest. Guided by a mysterious map, they venture through Peru’s Amazon rainforest and Andean peaks, unearthing secrets about Aunt Lucy—and stumbling onto a legendary treasure.
Paddington in Peru offers a visually beautiful, heartfelt, and entertaining family adventure—filled with Paddington’s trademark humor and gentleness. Though not quite as inventive as its predecessors, it remains a warm ride with soaring scenery, strong performances (especially from Banderas and Colman), and a heartfelt connection to Paddington’s roots.
