Hey everyone, welcome back to another review and today, we’ll be discussing the sequel to one of the most consistent franchises in films right now. Paddington and Paddington 2 are both some of the best family movies of the last decade. The thought of doing a third film is definitely terrifying because of how it could affect this franchise’s track record but also because Paul King wasn’t coming back for this third entry, although he still has a story credit. He went off to work in the Chocolate Factory. As I’m now studying in the UK, I had the chance to see Paddington in Peru. Does this movie cement the Paddington trilogy as one of the best of all-time or is the absence of Paul King felt? Find out in this review!
