However, he came up with the idea for this third film and was involved as an executive producer. We went into this film thinking it wouldn’t be as good as the other two Paddington films, especially since the reviews weren’t as strong.

But my son and I really enjoyed it

The story was warm and heartfelt, and Paddington’s charm still shined through. The film had many funny moments, but also a few touching scenes that caught me off guard.

I even shed a tear towards the end

Even though it wasn’t as perfect as the first two films, it was still a lovely watch. I’m really glad we gave it a chance.

It’s definitely worth seeing for anyone who loves Paddington and his adventures
