As a lover and connoisseur of children’s literature classics, Paddington, a lovely British bear is one of my favorite characters that has infiltrated the hearts of many around the world.
So, I decided to take my technology-loving teenager with me for a day out at the movies to watch a screening of “Paddington in Peru.” Although I knew we were in for a special treat, he agreed that this film is fun for the whole family.
We both appreciated the comedic timing, and my child was a little concerned about the initial plot but stated the film pulled it through at the end, and he actually enjoyed it.
The cinematic elements and live-action mixed with whirling illustrations make this film absolutely gorgeous to watch. Sitting in a theater really adds a richness and quality that is superb. And don’t miss the end credits because they are adorable too.
So, I would like to thank Paddington for reminding us that we can always find our way home. And although we may encounter challenges along the way that attempt to stop us from reaching our goals, it is the love and treasures that live in our hearts that can defeat any obstacle we face.
The third installment of the film series, “Paddington in Peru,” finally arrives in US theaters on February 14, 2025. Be sure to take someone you love to the theater to watch Paddington share his heart with you on screen.
Film Celebration: To celebrate the February 14th release, fans of this classic character received complimentary goodies during a “Happy Bear Hour” at the Popfancy Dessert Bar in Houston, Texas.
