It was the rare movie that could get a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, after the first two Paddington movies, King and co-writer Simon Farnaby then left the Brown family behind to tackle the wonder that was Wonka.

The third installment of the live-action-animation hybrid remains a reliable source of high-caliber children's entertainment, but its witty spark is diminished.

The third film of the Paddington franchise, "Paddington in Peru," falls disappointingly short of the charm expected from the lovable bear.
