Paddington in Peru is a family movie. It's not just a kid's movie— a family movie. It has something for the young and protectors of the young. From start to finish, the movie is a visual delight. It brings back nostalgia and comfort for those who grew up with Paddington, and it easily hooks in a new fan base.

Those who consume movies and TV shows would recognize well-loved actors throughout the film. There’s Zoro’s Antonio Banderas (also known as the voice of a cat in boots) to the daddy of Downton Abbey, Hugh Bonneville. 

There’s also Olivia Colman from Wonka and The Crown, but what’ll grab everyone’s attention is Mrs. Bird, played by everyone’s beloved mum, Mrs. Weasley, a.k.a. Julie Walters. Aunt Lucy, whose rescue is the movie’s primary goal, is voiced by Imelda Staunton— the most popular pink-tweeded professor whose little verbal ‘ahem-ahem’ will haunt our dreams forever.

There are more familiar faces, but the main furry little guy is voiced by Ben Whishaw, whose voice you may recognize belonging to Michael Banks from Mary Poppins Returns.

That lineup alone tells you this IS the family movie to watch. Every single one is known to every child and child at heart. It’s like they put together the best ingredients to create the best… orange marmalade.

Why do the best-beloved bears in the world wear something red? Paddington in Peru is the most stylish, innocently charming bear you can find. And you won’t regret watching this. Make this your Chinese New Year or an advanced Valentine's date with your kids. It is truly a must-watch for the family. It is delightful and full of everything good.

It is already out in Philippine theaters, and I highly recommend it! My seven-year-old son highly recommends it, too. Trust us. You’ll have a BEARy sweet time.
