The little bear with a taste for marmalade sandwiches is back on the big screen, this time embarking on an adventure back to his South American homeland of Peru and, ultimately, to himself.
Paddington in Peru kicks off with the bear (Ben Wishaw) receiving a British passport marking his new national identity. When Paddington visits his good friend Mr Gruber’s (Jim Broadbent) antique shop and sees a small Peruvian ornament appear to come to life, Gruber suggests that becoming British can come with mixed emotions.
Such emotions are heightened when Paddington receives a letter from his Aunt Lucy saying that she is quite troubled and melancholy in the retired home for bears she lives in. This inspires a trip to Peru with his adopted family, the Browns.
