The director of the previous two films, Paul King, has decided not to direct this edition
Story
Paddington returns to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now lives at the Home for Retired Bears. With the Brown family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey. However, he proposed the idea for this third film and was involved as an executive producer.
Next comes Paddington (2014)
If, like me, you agree that the first two Paddington films are among the greatest films ever made, this will be both an enjoyable highlight and a disappointment. Because it’s not about Paddington adjusting to living with a family in London, or how a normal family adjusts to living with a bear, it loses its original charm and certainly its humor. This is just another jungle adventure movie…but with a bear.
It has a different feel – more sentimental and noticeably less funny
Where the first two were funny to a decrepit old Marx Brothers fan like myself, this is definitely more of a family film clearly aimed at kids… I could say we need more of the family Brown and from their neighbors. …I could also say we need Sally Hawkins, but what’s the point.
So yes, this is different, sometimes it’s horribly over-sentimental
We had all of that in the first two, and since they were…dare I say, perfect, there would be no point in trying to copy them. and nothing quite as funny, but it’s still Paddington. The family routine for some pretty hilariously awkward cuteness.
