Paddington in Peru is the weakest entry in the Paddington movies. Not terrible or anything like that. It's just alright.

It's still an enjoyable and adorable film with a unique visual style. I cared for the characters, especially Paddington and the Brown family. I like them all. It's got a very sweetheart.

But Paul King not coming back was a big mistake, as no offense to Dougal Wilson (he did a decent job), but King brought something special to these movies.

And taking Paddington out of London was another mistake. It may be in execution that it could work, but I found myself less engaged in the story as soon as he left London, which is the whole film. I know that Paddy exploring his origin and returning to his roots in Peru could make for a great adventure, but it all boils down to better execution.

Who knows, this might grow on me over the years, but as it is, it's perfectly fine.
