Key opinion
Paddington in Peru is widely regarded as a visually charming and heartwarming continuation of the franchise that successfully maintains the series' core spirit of optimism and family connection. However, critics and audiences are divided on the transition to a jungle setting and the impact of recasting major roles, leading to a consensus that while still a high-quality family film, it may lack the narrative tightness of its predecessors.
| Acting | Ben Whishaw’s consistent and endearing vocal performance as Paddington remains the emotional anchor of the franchise. | |
| Production | The production design, particularly the vibrant cinematography and imaginative animation, creates a visually stunning experience that brings the Peruvian setting to life. | |
| Screenplay | The narrative structure and character dynamics feel less cohesive than previous entries, with some reviewers describing the plot as a disjointed patchwork of familiar formulas. | |
| Acting | The recasting of Mary Brown from Sally Hawkins to Emily Mortimer is a significant point of contention; some find it a distracting departure, while others find the difference negligible. | |
| Direction | The shift from a London-based urban comedy to a jungle road-movie format is polarizing, with some praising the refreshing change of scenery and others feeling it results in a loss of the series' signature comedic charm. |
