Paddington in Peru (2024) chucks our favorite marmalade-loving bear into a brand new adventure, swapping London drizzle for the wild, unpredictable vibes of the Peruvian jungle. Paddington, as always, is just trying to do the right thing—this time, it’s tracking down his beloved Aunt Lucy, who’s gone missing. He’s got the Brown family in tow, of course, and let’s be real, they’re as out of their element as a goldfish on a bike. It doesn’t take long before the crew is knee-deep in all sorts of shenanigans—think lost temples, dodgy locals with questionable motives, and way too many mishaps involving jungle wildlife. Paddington, being Paddington, can’t help but make friends (and, yeah, a few enemies) along the way, spreading his usual mix of chaos and heart. There’s a new cast of characters, both helpful and hilariously unhelpful, plus a few familiar faces for the fans. The jungle isn’t exactly rolling out the welcome mat, but Paddington’s optimism and general cluelessness (in the best way) keep everyone going. The movie’s got all the usual feels—family, loyalty, and enough laugh-out-loud moments to make you forget your popcorn—plus a big old dose of adventure. By the end, you’ll probably want to book a trip to Peru or at least hug your favorite teddy bear. It’s pure Paddington: sweet, silly, and just a little bit bonkers, but absolutely impossible not to love.
