“Paddington in Peru,” the third movie in the Paddington franchise, released on Feb. 14 and is gaining much traction. With a net gross of $150.6 million worldwide, the film is doing well in spite of not being as critically appreciated as its predecessors. This could be due in part to a change in directors, as Paul King wrote and directed the first and second movies. Dougal Wilson directed “Paddington in Peru.” Directors were not the only noticeable difference. Audiences should not be surprised to find that human mother Mary Brown, previously played by Sally Hawkins, was recast as Emily Mortimer. Despite the potentially jarring cast change, the adorable voice of Paddington is still played by the impressive Ben Whishaw.

Contrary to its two predecessors, “Paddington in Peru”—shockingly—takes place in Peru, not London. The film focuses more on adventure than the first two. The plot begins with Paddington’s Aunt Lucy disappearing, and so the young bear and his adoptive family go to Peru in the hopes of locating her. However, it soon becomes clear that they get much more than they bargained for when the family runs into Hunter Cabot, a descendant of multiple treasure hunters. This begins a quest to find not only Aunt Lucy but the lost city of El Dorado. While the search for a lost city and treasure is not a new genre, it feels almost out of place among the Paddington adventures; the same bear who once put toothbrushes in his ears is now tasked with finding a city built of riches– quite the difference in tone.

Despite the shift in priorities, this film continues to give what audiences expect the most from the Paddington franchise: a focus on family. The core of this movie still represents a sense of love and warmth, with plenty of marmalade sandwiches throughout.
